Not really a kit for say, best bet is to find a autozone or some parts store near your that have the spectre intake stuff and build your own. Locate the filter in the finder area...

For some time some form of 'Porter' cold air intake, a very do it yourself thing, has been popular and effective, not to mention very cheap. Basically it involves cutting the saxophone intake off and removing it, but leave some sort of lip on the air box when you do the cut. Then run an intake pipe of some sort to the inner wheel well from the air box. Personally, I just used 4 inch rubber radiator hose. That way it form fits to the cut out gap you use to the inner wheel well and has not sharp bends, like you would get if you use PVC elbows and such. Total cost a few bucks, plus your time, of course.

Here's what you need for a custom CAI on the V8.

3" x 3.5" 45* transition hose >OEM MAF >4" MAF adapter >4" hose >4" plumbing rubber 90* >cone filter with 4.5" neck.

Drill 5/16" hole in 45* hose for the IAT, drill another and use a 3/8" plastic hose barb for the PCV fresh air make up. Grind most of the threaded part off the plastic hose barb and insert from the inside.

Way more complicated than I used. 18 inches of 4 inch rad hose and 3 stainless screws, with an optional stainless rad clamp to cover over the hose/screw/airbox connection and make it look nice.

Yours does seem the more common way it is done, though.
