Here's what Eckler's sells.

Just take dimensions and be sure that you leave enough on the cover to hold the filter in place.

Well just a free mod you can do to your air box. Invloves cutting a massive hole in the box so more air can come through it.
Seems to me like it does nothing except allow air to enter easily but I don't know if it allows MORE air to come in.
Well install is straight forward. Remove airbox by unscrewing the 3 screws holding it together. Then unscrew the gasket holder that holds the airbox to the baffle and remove the aitbox from the car. Take the top portion off the airbox. Drill the holes holding the airbox cover onto the airbox. This will remove the large cover from the box. Next cut the fins around the edge of the box. A dremel would have been great in this case but all I had was a hacksaw and a drill. Grind the sharp peices down, spray paint what you cut and reinstall. With the K&N I couldn't feel a noticable power difference but it sounds GREAT!! Good Luck!

This was cut and pasted from our tech tip section. Look up at the top of the page under other click the arrow next to it. All sorts of stuff in there.

You have a 96 ,just get a K&N filter and leave the box alone unless you want to go about a 10 th slower in the 1/4 mile.
