Your car will run better with the standard air box an uprated pannel filter and a good cold air feed...

sounds like a serious issue, more than just an airfilter

Fuel leak, I'd check the tank over or see if you can smell any fuel around the car?

I've had a k&n cone filter all that did was bog down.

Had a k&n panel filter with cold air feed that's been the quickest and best on fuel.

Got an enclosed pipercross viper induction kit and the fuel was terrible even though it sounds pure sex with my exhaust I've taken it off and only going to use it for meets as the fuel milage is that bad.
