Honestly if your not worried about hyrdolock or anything do a Cold air intake set up off a m50. All you need is a intake tube off the m50 an maybe a different silicone adapter, 3" is the stock maf size.

or you can do this DIY if your crafty

Imma end up doing this diy soon (when money comes in)

I personally have to wonder what people drive through to hydrolock their cars?

I have only ever seen one car hydrolock.. and that was when a friend of mine drove through what amounted to a lake on the road after a freak rainstorm dropped a foot of rain in an hour.

You mean like it has across most of the east coast about 8 times just this year? LOL

We regularly get deep water out here in oregon in the winter.

Espcially since there's plenty of evidence that there is no benefit really to a CAI on the TI.. Without a lot of other work to exploit one.

The 95's REALLY don't need one... Have it stock...

I drove repeatedly through at least a foot and a half of water with my crown vic, and it had the air filter level with the bottom of the bumper without having any problems. My civic went through enough water to FLOAT it and I didn't hydrolock it...lol

I guess living here at the shore I get somewhat spoiled. Major storms usually run off so fast they do not leave any major puddles behind. The only time we get flooding is when the ocean comes inland.. and when that happens.. you simply don't go anywhere because everything is flooded

I personally know of 3 people who have hydrolocked their motors with CAI's installed on their ti's. 2 of them were right here in sunny SoCal. Not worth it IMO.

Default air intake

Hydro locked my 91' 318is M42 in 4-5" of water when living in Houston. BMW aerodynamics work great at shoving water up to headlight level. Bent two connecting rods, ruined the main bearings and wasted four months of my life arguing with the insurance company. It eventually got rebuilt, shop bill was $10.5k.

i disagree with the idea that a N.A. 4 cylinders can't sound cool. fact is, they can sound great.
