well, i built my own out of pvc pipe. i dont think they make one specific for the 2.3. i have been told that you can modify a 5.0 one to work though.

buy a universal one for 5.0, then go to pep boys and buy a reducer, to connect to your throttle body. or you can shop on E-BAY . I think some one makes one for the 2.3 . but it's basicaly what i just said ?

Yeah I got that one. It's pretty simple, I regret paying for it, lol. Let me know if you figure out what that little bracket thing is for. I had to zip tie mine down so it wouldn't move around.

And fyi, this isn't a true CAI, it doesn't go into the fender well, the filter sits in the engine compartment. It is a ram air intake technically (correct me if I am wrong). Just thought I would warn you if you didn't know.

Hey,

Has anyone tried the linked CAI on a 93 seeing the intake baffle is slightly different?

Thanks!
