Dont bother with it, Since you wouldnt be using the maf with that filter you would need a different tune. Just stick to a normal cold air intake.

if you have a '93 or a speed density tune, you could run a filter off the tb like that

K&N either 5000 or 5050. Both will fit without rubbing your factory hood and I'd suggest the 5050 so there's enough room on the back side to make a hole for your IAT sensor

that style intake is taken from the impalas, its made by clear image. however theirs has a heat shield and retains the MAF. get a normal CAI or do the lid conversion
