That hugger 96 is sweet. Id have a muffler shop make me 3.5 or 4 inch tube cold air intake with the filter low similar to a moroso cai. matter of fact all you need is a 90 bend with a straight section than you could run a LT1 cold air.

here's what i did. not sure how the framing/ bumper supports are on the 96 ss, but on my 96 bird there is a small hole where the air filter is in the picture, which leads to an empty boxed in area. I widened the hole with some help from my die grinder and BFH, and the 5 1/2 k&n fit right down in there. I went under the car and did a little homegrown engineering as you can see. Works great for me, and i think i did it for less than $50 bucks. Please excuse the mess, i haven't done any spring cleaning yet. I removed part of the air dam so the "scoop" (if you will) would catch more air. I'm going to widen the scoop when it warms up, and make it look better.
