So, i plan on gettin a Cold Air in the Spring, when i get me some more money.. but as a temp fix/ cosmetic upgrade, what will happen when i take out my Stock Airfilter Box, and replace it with a Cone filter? Probably no difference in performance or anything right..

Now keep in mind all the stock stuff will be there except for the box being gone, and just putting a cone in.

If i take the box out and put the cone in, is that all i need to do? or is there anything else i need to do

I did that to my Intrepid, I just made a heat shield out of cardboard and aluminum foil. I don't really think it made much difference.

It will make more noise.

this is really over due haha.. but a bad kinda of noise, or will it sound good. obviously it wont be like a highly tuned eclipse or anything, but it will still sound ok? and with an exhaust and cat, it will sound even better?

we don't know how to describe the sound of a stock airtube with a cone filter, because hardly anyone does that lol

I wouldnt really think so, unless its a cold air.. which i want to do, but i have the 2.2 so id have to get one thats made for the cavalier right? and then movie the battery around? or will it pretty much fit right in

you shouldnt have to move the battery at all.

There should be no need to move the battery. Aside from if you need to get an angle to get the CAI piping in place. My battery is in the stock location.
