You can use any of them as long as you add the maf to it.

2 x 90 degree silicone bends, a 3" MAF adaptor plate & Bob's your uncle. Keep the MAF as far away from the filter as possible.

what about the small air inlet to the engine what did you do about that should i just throw on a tiny filter or connect a pipe in after the maf sensor
dose the engine take in air from here or is it used for some thing else cause swear one time i left it off and it threw out the engine what should i do
cause i dont want to throw out fuel to air ratios

i think the size of airbox does not matter too much.
what it matter the most are
1) pipings to have least bends
2) air filter with a good balance of flow and filtration
3) airbox sealed from hot air
4) insulate the pipe if its metal
