So long as it isn't any smaller than any part of the stock air intake setup you'll be fine for power still becase there'll be no restriction to air flow
plenty of parts on the bench

The factory Snork to suit a GU patrol is a perfect fit onto a series one hilux, looks much much neater than a PVC one.

You amy have some issues in the cold with your carb icing up, I know I used to in my Zuk on cold damp nights.
