That's not really a "cold air intake" as you would see it today. A CAI would have a tube running to the fender-well or grille area pretty much like the stock air cleaner. What's pictured is an "open element" air cleaner that draws all air around the engine, including hot air. I don't really think that kind of setup is worth $100.

Will you get more noticeable power from either on a TBI truck? Probably not. If you want to make your TBI 4.3 perform check out- TBI CHIPS -besides making custom chips, he has some tips for TBI trucks along with dyno experience from different builds

If you just want the look and aren't worried too much about name brand

So I need part # 38-1818 which would be the cleaner 5 1/8" carb and part # 38-1960 which would be the element correct ? and hell for only a total of $38 plus s&h that is way cheaper than $100 thanks a bunch for your help.

Do people really by aftermarket parts to make things look pretty?!?

Color me stupid! I only get something aftermarket for performance or utility.
