cold air intake for non turbo.. does anyone know where i can get one?

everywhere i look there are just those stubby little intakes that are like 3 in long, i dont have a turbo in my car, but i want more power. i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get? or could hook me up with a cold air intake for my 89 rx7 non turbo. also if the cold isnt a good idea let me know of any alernatives.

Most people rig one from a prelude kit.

yeah, its the 92-96 prelude kit. But you have to remove the windshield washer fluid container and cut a hole.

Not to Hijack, but what is the difference between the HKS and knock-off intake systems? Is the sponge slightly different or what? Huge price difference, is it just name?


$6.99 Ebay



$180 HKS unit

well looking at the two there is obviously and engineering difference. the hks kinda funnels the air while the other one just filters it. they both will prob give gains but will and extra 3 or 4 hp woth the hks to you?

you could buy the knockoff for cheap then switch the filter to an hks sponge, pretty much the same thing for cheaper.

Thinking the same thing, sponge is around $60.
