What do you mean by cold air intake? All of our cars come stock with an air filter set-up that pulls straight from the outside, which is a true cold air intake. This crap you buy at Autozone that they call a "cold air intake" just moves the actual intake spot to inside your engine bay resulting in hot air intake.

The best way to easily and cheaply improve air flow would be just throw on an air filter like in the video and keep your eyes out for a good deal on a cowl hood. Or just cut a hole in your hood and fab a nice custom low profile scoop on to it. That would be sweet.

They also sell these chrome scoops that attach straight to the carb. Do a nice job cutting the hole in your hood and it would look pretty sweet I think.

Those filters are absolute garbage. Just get a 14" round air filter from Summit or jegs. I have the "edelbrock" one. That triangle filter is a fire ball waiting to happen.

Re: Help identifing an Air Filter on CARB...

Seriously calgutie....You are asking the SAME questions in multiple places as if your not your not happy with one answer you get, you ask it somewhere else.

And your questions are al over the place with no clear goal in mind not even with clear answers on what you are wanting.

Not to offend you, but how old are you? What is your purpose with the car? What are your goals?
