Default Cold Air Intake.

HI, so i have a 3.1L V6 1990 camaro RS, and i'm looking to do some part swaps, and i noticed that on my air filter, the little cap that holds the tubing to the actual filter is GONE. so the tubing is just there, and the filter is moving around crazily and ****, so i tried looking for the caps, and they don't sell the caps apparently. So i need to switch out everything and i figured might as well replace it with the cold air intake... ( I have the money ), but i cant find cold air intakes ANYWHERE for this car. If someone could help me out that would be great.

You'll have to make due with a sexy round air cleaner.

Its already sort of like a CAI. Note how the air filter is all the way away from the center of the hood. Its gathering air from a cooler spot at the front passenger side of the engine bay. This is how a CAI works.
