I'm pretty sure that no one sells them. You can make one pretty easy for around 50-100$
here's one thread, I'm sure there are others out there.

Make one. Do a search for CAI on the top of of the page, with the search button. A bunch of threads should come up, some have step by steps on how to make it.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

ebay. May not be a "true" CAI but you can get a cone filter and MAF adapter for probably $20+. Some fabing or sourcing of parts may be needed for a real CAI (ie couplers, piping). For some real power try and find a Racing beat header and remove the catalytic converters (if legal). You would be surprised just how much of an improvement you will get just by removing the catalytic converters (or gutting them if possible). Here is an example of an ebay CAI for an RX-7

I *really* do not think that just a short "ram" air intake will help hp. Get a k+n or hks drop in filter so you can still use the box and tubing, just have a better filter to let more air through.

just get a cone filter and a MAF adapter, along with some sheet metal and some rubber weather stripings, and create a cold air box....so much easier and looks cooler IMO

Mariah and VinSpeed both sell the cold air boxes. A fender well intake would have to be custom, otherwise PM dDub114/dDub and ask him if he can make one for you.

i wouldn't waste money on a high flow drop in for the stock box someone posted results of a flow test on a bunch of stock air intakes and ours sucked, for the price of a k&n drop in you could build a nice true CAI or at least a box and a decent cone filter
Ohh yeah and if your just looking for cheap speed on an NA just make your exhuast flow as good as possible no cats high flow mufflers larger pipe all that will help more than any other single mod and sounds cool too
