Default 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:
http://www.aacorvette.com/performanc...roducts_id=292

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, or the Breathless Vortex unit.

I didn't see the AirForce 1 on the TPIS website. Do they still offer it?

I run the SLP ram/cold air package but think Vic'89 got better results with the Air Force I.

Though TPIS shows installation instructions for Air Force III they do not list it on-line??? Might be worth an email to them.
