Cold Air Intake

Cold Air Intake
My air box is all beat up, I need to repair to look good. Thinking of adding a cold air intake from after market. Any one have advice. This for a stock 87 C4

Don't expect large gains with one. Most are more for looks. I wouldn't get one that has many filters to clean, it's to tedious!

If I was still N/A, I'd pick up a cheap used C5/C6 air bridge, run a tube through a hole in the shroud and mount the filter underneath exposed to the cold air. Watch out for deep water, though.
Or something like this:

They have 2 versions (new and old???)
It may take some experimentation to get it to fit, but should be easy enough.
This approach also offers a relatively easy upgrade path to a larger diameter MAF, which would eliminate the two primary intake airflow bottleknecks (the stock airbox neck, and maf itself).
I have (and used to use) the SLP kit linked above. It adds a nice intake howl, but doesn't do too much to improve looks or performance.

Look into the "Air Force One" that TPIS sells, ...
Though TPIS shows installation instructions for Air Force III they do not list it on-line??? Might be worth an email to them.
