look in this week'* autozone paper... i picked one up on monday, and on the inside fold, there it was - so you can probably still have them order it. according to the paper (assuming this is the same rice pipe), it'* from the specta sport compact intake system

#8208 Chrome Universal Intake Tube - 39.99

should be available by special order. can anyone verify that this is the right piece? don't have time to scan and upload a pic right now...

Hard to say for sure without seeing the package, but that sure looks like it, and the price is right. Do NOT buy that filter. It'll hold water. We've proven with a scantool that it'* a low-flow unit as well.

i'm still trying to figure out why they're selling that filter with an available chrome filter cover that fits so tight, it essentially blocks any flow to half of your filter...

Because if you drive rice, chrome adds speed. They cater to ignorance to make a buck or two.
