i've got a 94 V6, should be the same. i just used the stock size
filter, 10", and am using a mr. gasket, i think, 10" open element air
filter plates. the only problem i have is that the stock tb bolt isn't
long enough. i had to flip the top plate over so that it fits. the
last time i tried removing the tb bolt i snapped it right off and had to
pay 112 bucks to have another put on.... so if you have better luck
removing the tb bolt, let me know.....
but otherwise it works great.... you can hear the throttle body more,
and it usually whistles in the morning, but i don't mind, i kind of like
the sound......
i don't know if it's any better than other setups, but i can tell the
difference from the stock housing with the plastic plate removed in the
front....
if you find any better ways for the old 6er let us know...
