Not really a cold air system, as both filters are in the nice, toasty warm, engine compartment. Also not sure if you would have room to install the drivers side filter.......

i run a k&n cai, its a pretty nice setup except it was pretty pricey, like hey you said spectre is cheaper than the others, but i think the k&n is the way to go.

Volant or S&B. Otherwise go with a 14x3.

14x3 is a round filter, reminiscent of the older carburated intake types. Pic below:

Throttle body is the thing the intake system bolts (er...screws) onto. Heres half a pic, only shows one of the bores, but you get the gist of it:
