You can put a K&N Cone filter at the end of your intake, basically replace your air canister.
I'll get pics of my setups as soon as I get on the other computer.

Here is the Dual SLP installed on my 86 Trans Am,


This is the K&N on my 88 Formula,

I don't think I have a model number for the K&N, I bought it about 4 years ago to use on my 86, then I bought the SLP unit. I might have the box in the garage, I'll check tomorrow.
It is an 8x4x3. I think I paid $45 for it from Jegs.

I also have this custom 4" air intake that a friend made for his 90 Formula, I traded a rear end for it.

here it is installed on my 86,

The 3" filtes where what I was just looking at. I'll go measure the air tube tomarrow and see how big if a filter I can stick in there. The air tube probably is big enough for a v6, but the filter canister is very restrictive. This is the one I'm looking at: http://kandn.com/images/l/RU-2820.jpg

I just went and measured, my intake tube is 4" at the canister. If I replace the canister with a K&N cone filter, what do I do with the oxygen sensor?

Drill a hole into the air tube and put it in there. That sesnor is called the Air Intake Temp sensor.

Aiight, that's what I thought. I'll have to take the intake completely off to clean out the tube of plastic shavings then. I'll look into the intake setup that transxtreme has, and I'll also look into the K&N cone filter. Thanks for all the suggestions.
