I ahve a 2.5" intake tube and i got a 3" filter would it fit on the pipe or it would not be worth doing it?.. becuase my friend bought and intake and now he doesnt want ti so i thought i could use the larger intake filter? would that make a difference?

about .5" of difference.. I wouldn't do it if you don't have a snug fitment of the filter onto the tube you might suck undesireable stuff into your IM

you might be able to make a fitting from a 3" to 2.5" pvc or something. just make sure there is a tight seal as already mentioned

just because its bigger doesn't mean it will suck more air in.

Those filters will pass more air through them than the engine can ever use. It doesnt matter if you put a bigger one on there, the one on there is big enough.

with the engine being a glorified vacuum, it will only suck in what it needs. the larger filter doesnt get more air in, just gets the necessary air in easier

Okay, the point is that the filter will do nothing but dangel on your intake pipe no matter how tight you set it- you cant force the filter to fit a pipe half an inch smaller- at best you'd fold the inlet on the filer so be able to get it on the pipe, but thats way past half assed. You probably couldnt fit a bigger filter in the bay with out it rubbing on the battery and a few other things anyways.
