    you will have to custom make a cold air intake or mod a 93 teg intake and you might want to think of upgrading to a 2.25 catback instead of 3

    your going to have to eliminate the whole airbox, and build an intake straight off the carb. good luck, im trying to make one now too.

    i just made the cup with a crimped bottom, and left the original rubber seal on the carb, and it locks tight.

    see the little lines on the cup, down at the bottom the metal is bent in/out alternating to make for a tighter seal.
