Your best bet is to add 3-2" holes into the air box and use a K&N filter for your car.
Heres an article from TECHINFO for your set up, lots of good stuff there for you.

That's garbage. Their advertising is full of lies, and the entire thing is a joke. Unless you're a ricer, then it sounds cool.

Don't waste your money on garbage marketed to import tuners. Do a search here on the Forum for "weaponR".

NO! Please don't do that. It's a terrible design that just pulls hot engine bay air into the intake. Plus the filter they supply is CRAP!

If you want some more power, don't use anything that ISN'T isolated from the engine bay heat.

Just modify your air box like in the article or build your own Fender Well Intake.

You can save yourself a butt load of money if you go with the drilled air box mod or build yourself a FWI kit.

Use this from Intense, you'll probably want at least 3'. Get some large hose clamps and a 9" K&N cone filter like the one Intense supplies with their kit.
http://intense-racing.com/Merchant2/mer ... _Induction

You'll have to get a different windshield washer fluid tank, one from a 95-99 (they are smaller). Then you can pull the charcoal canister out and the cup that holds it. This will give you the hole and route for your FWI. You can locate the Intake Air Temperature sensor in the K&N filter for ease of mounting.

This is a picture of my set up, this is a 99. You don't have to deal with the PCM, just mount the charcoal canister and some of the other details, and enjoy.

I have to tell you that you're finding garbage and believing everything you read. That will empty your wallet and leave you wanting. Those claims are ridiculous, even for a supercharged engine.

Do you want good advice on performance intakes from people that have been using, buying, building, and testing them since 2002?
Or do you just want something that costs more than it's worth but sounds like it might be cool?

NO WAY you'll gain those peak numbers. Is an intake going to reduce restrictions of the 1993 style box? Heck yes. 22lb/ft? Heck no....

FWIW My 1993 in perfect mechanical condition could spin tires easily with an Intake, and struggled without one on the same day.
