for a 2.8, CAI might be the way to go.

Default do not use the K&N drop in, it is junk, if you are gonna use a drop in...

try to find a Mann filter, they are by far the best sealing and flitering while allowing a great deal of air to pass through. As a matter of fact the entire 12v forum, thanks in hole to UrS4(mance) are finding that any and all K&N's are basically junk. I have the lltek CAI on my 96 2.8, honestly i didnt see a hole lot of power gain from this. I recomend keeping the stock air box, drop in a mann and chip the ecu.
