Hello Z mates

I always had this question that which type of cone filter would be better for my short ram set up?

The first cone filter has that additional concave filter in the front and the second one has no. Because how the short ram intake sits on our car, and cone filters are facing right behind that air duck areas, wouldn't first type of cone filter will be more beneficial since air is coming in more directly than side ways?? What do you guys think??

That would help but realistically what helps the most is the larger surface area of the filter. The larger the surface area of the filter mean there's overall less resistance for the air to flow more freely though the filter which in turns means more hp
