nobody makes one anymore.....that stock airbox is a huge restriction...get a K-N that sticks on the TB it will pick it up a lot. SLP used to make a nice intake....if you search around you may be able to find a used one

as far as i know any of the aftermarket ram air setups for 3rd gens are a waste of money. do a search for custom cold air intake or ram air on this board or others and i'm sure you will find something thats not too difficult and will end up being a lot cheaper than anything that you will find as a kit.

ram air is a funny thing b/c you need to have as few bends in the system as possible and a 90 degree bend will kill any "ram air" effect that you are trying to achieve.

you are probably better off going w/ a cai and making sure to incorporate a heat shield and wrap to keep the hot engine air as much isolated as possible, especially with headers.

Is it a TPI? You can just connect this to the TB like "mdacton" suggested.

For some reason there is not a lot of 3rd gen stuff. Compared to Mustang aftermarket stuff.

Wouldn't connecting that to the throttlebody allow the engine to suck in all the hot air that's under the hood?

its not that big of a deal as alot of people think...hot air vs. cold air......on this type set-up maybe 10 h.p.


alot of hot air is better than a little cold air,

I ran mine like that for 8 years now

With a little ingenuity some PVC pipe ,a few clamps, and a K&N filter you can make a decent CAI on your own.
