open air element?

Hi guys. I know there's a tech article on how to do this, but I use my phone for internet because the rents broke my computer, and my phone doesn't download the file. So is there a site anywhere on how to install one and what id need? Id like to go with a k&n filter if possible. But thanks to anyone who can help! Id really like to get this done to my car and finally get a mod on the list XD

Figured it out! I went with the 14" by 3" drop base from Holly found at advanced auto, and I have to say dayum! The hesitation she had before is gone, the engine and exhaust seem so much louder, and at wot she just begs to go. She ended up barking the tires at half throttle at a dead stop, something which only happened when I floored it before. And the sucking noise now evident just sets the heart racing. Anyone who doesn't do this mod is insane, it costed maybe $30 if you don't have the vacuum seal valves, and is so easy to install.

Nice cold air intake. Is that a kit or did you piece that together yourself ? =

I decided to go this way with the cowl =
