It will help at slow speeds but will hinder the air flow at high speeds. GoodluckJoe
Reattaching it to your airbox (with the filter) or the engine? And which year and what size engine?
There is a 5"x12" rectangular airbox on the right side middle of the engine that has 4 Phillips screws, one on each corner. Use a little bit of elbox grease and an appropriate sized screw driver to loosen screws until they rotate freely. There's no need to remove them completely. Carefully slide air intake tube from the left side of the airbox (e.g using a flathead screwdriver). Remove airbox top cover taking care not to tear any of rubber hoses around. Pull out the old air filter noting the positioning of the filter and replace with compatible filter (Fram CA9564 Heavy Duty Air Filter works) available at walmart or amazon. Also be sure to clear out debris caught in the bottom of the airbox before adding new filter. Replace the airbox cover and tighten the screws. Re-attach air intake making sure the rubber tab from the air intake fits into the notch in the airbox. You are done.

petrol-underneath on the front of the engine diesel- ontop, on the right hand side between the engine and airbox
Between the Airbox (where your filter is), and where it enters the engine.
The air filter box is located on driver side in the engine bay. Unscrew both screws on top of the airbox and push and tilt the airbox upwards. Slide out air filter and drop in the new one. Install in reverse of removal.
remove clips or screws on airbox on drivers side of engine compartment and lift up and pull out the filter, install new filter in reverse order.
Filter is down in front of airbox at front of engine you will need approx 50mm socket on small ratchet with twisty neck
This confuses a lot of folks, so don't feel bad. What looks like the airbox at the top of the engine compartment (near the radiator) is not the filter box. Look closely, and you will see that this airbox connects to another below it and to the left side of the car. With the top airbox removed, the lower one can be accessed. It is held in place with one bolt and two stubs that fit into rubber grommets. Remove the lower airbox and separate it to replace the air filter.
look for the yellow top dipstick on the back left of the engine just behind and below the airbox (filter) (passenger compartment side). You do not have to remove the airbox.
there is an o2 sensor in the engine bay behind the engine by the firewall. its under the black airbox where the air filter is. its in between the catalyctic converter and manifold. right on the pipe. you cant miss it. easy to change yourself. just take the airbox out and its simple!
In the left front corner of the engine compartment (or the near right side if you're standing in front of the car looking at it). The airbox is a black square plastic thing, about 15x25cm, with a thick black tube leading to the engine. Take out the four screws in the corner of the airbox and lift the top off. Inside you will find a square air filter.
