The AFM is required for your EFI.

ahh.. got it..
Advantage: potentially more air flow = hp
disadvantage: K&Ns have been shown to let in more dirt as well as more air.

I don't know what's on ebay, but you need to keep your AFM - not the box itself, but the sensor that's setup in there. IF you can fit a cone in there, it's entirely possible.
