Horace,

I'm pretty sure K&N makes a filter that will fit in the stock Vanagon
airbox. I don't have a part number--maybe someone else on the list can
help with this.

I recently installed a high performance air intake system from MSDS in
my syncro. This system replaces the airbox and bolts right up to the
AFM. Easy install, except that you have to fabricate a bracket or
something to support the AFM. I was a bit skeptical of any HP increase
but was pleasantly suprised after going for a test drive. The throttle
is now more responsive and it does feel like I've gained a couple of HP.
FWIW, I was previously using one of the heavy duty syncro-style filters.

See http://www.msdsinc.com/airintake_1.htm for details.
