The first car I bought did not have the hose installed. I inspected the airbox and noticed the flapper was covering up the fresh air opening. The 2nd car had the hose and it too was covering the fresh air opening. Needless to say I took out the flapper, installed a K&N filter, and took off the snorkel at the front of the box on both cars. On the '91 I installed a new heavy duty hose from the pre-heat opening to a knockout just beside the passenger side front headlight. I don't know if it makes any difference but it looks pretty cool. I have not done this on the '93 and probably will just leave it alone. I was thinking of putting bug screen on the openings and securing them with radiator hose clamps. But I don't know if this is a good idea or not ... if it will clog up or restrict my air flow. What do you think?

Regards,
