Default cold air intakes

What brand of cold air intakes do you prefer?Where do you get the best deal?Is it better to get the one that bolts to the fenderwell?

I've seen the ones that don't bolt up to the fenderwell.
Can someone post a picture of one that bolts up to the fenderwell?

I'm hoping to be buying a 91 coupe.It's stock except for a flowmaster exhaust.I plan on later installing an E-cam but what
bolt-onmods would benefit a stock engine?I want to keep this a daily driver but I want it to run good too.

sounds like a pos that will be restrictive. if you get a cai go with a quality name brand and not a get what you paid for pos from ebay.

The ones on ebay DO work perfectely fine. your getting ripped off when you buy a 130+ dollar set-up. "cold air" intakes dont really cool done the air temp enough to make a difference. Your getting the performance out of the straightened air flow. When you smooth out the air flow, the more velocity you have and the quicker the air will enter the engine. Brands dont mean ****.
