Cold air Intake for 91?

I've been searching everywhere for a cold air intake system designed for my 91 camaro (350 TPI), but I can't find one anywhere!!! Everywhere I look they are discontinued... Any help?

Yes it is available. Expensive though. Here is the link http://www.lmperformance.com/c/11/7.html

I think the factory TPI is just as good with a couple K & N filter drop-ins. Thats what I'm using. The twin snorkle takes air from outside the engine bay anyways.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the factory TPI on Camaro's. The Firebird TPI systems were not as good stock and would probably get more out of a CAI.

I appreciate the info! I think I'll stick with stock then.

check out www.thunderracing.com they make a ram air system for our cars. i have it i love it you can really feel it on the hi-way,, you can also try and find the kid who makes them and sells them on ebay for much much cheaper. thunder racing actually stole the design from him they charge like 100bucks more then him its terrible. but you hook that up behind your fog lights and you drop in 2 k and n filters and yeah its good

Yeah, are you talking about the custom ram air box for 99.95? or are you talking about the cold air induction? Because they are discontinued for my year Camaro. If you are talking about the ram air boxes i was thinking about getting those, but I didn't know how hard they were to install. Do you also have to get the ram air induction kit along with that?
Thanks/

save your money and leave it alone... you'll never notice the difference on a factory motor and even a heavily modified one. unless it's a show car going for extra points it's not worth it.

no way youll notice it,, i sure did,, all u have to do is take of the top intake ducting from the throttle body,, unbottle the lower filter box plate and youll have to cut threw some plastic for them to slide down there,, took me an hour i did it in a rush before a car show,, and you will feel it i sure did on the hi way anyway,, and like i said i got mine for like 20 bucks from some kid who makes em on ebay,, all they are is hvac ducts def not worth a hundred bucks, if you can find em on ebay cheap id go for it and no you dont need any other pieces as long as you have the dual snorkel tpi set up
