I know mine has it because I specifically remember having to line that tube into the hole in the sheet metal before I can put the box back into place.

It's like that on both of my 93's and my 98.

I didn't think that 'tube' was removable.

I've seen a few with the tube before, and alot without it. Mine didnt come with it, but i've seen plenty on craigslist that include engine bay shots that have it. Mine actually had the hole behind the headlight blocked with a piece of plastic.. i cut that **** out of the way when i made my CAI.

FIFY.

Kelly, a cowl intake is your best bet. As they said, check out Spectre or T.H.O.R. for kits. I'll be getting a Spectre kit eventually.

I installed a Dana 30 spartan locker. All seems good, won't really know till I wheel but mine ratchets on small turns but on sharp turns it clunks very loud, is this the locker just breaking in? Heard it from a friend just getting a second opinion
