First off where in CO are you. I have a Green 1994 Aero and I live in boulder so I could help you with this in person if you like.
The intake system that is in the car is already a Cold Air Intake design plus it is funneled to give a Venturi (Spelling?) effect. These are the two things an after market intake usually shoots to do. By buying one you are just paying for what you have. It is best to buy a K&N drop (in our car this is a cone style, cylinder if you want to be pickey, filter which is also a bonus from an aftermarket intake, but you have one just upgrade it) and then cut the piss out of the air box in the fender well. The stock box comes off in two pieces so you can cut the outside and leave the inside piece alone. I cut 4 huge rectangles into my airbox so I was left with an X whose only purpose was to hold the filter in place. I literally cannot cut an more out of my box so if you have an questions just ask and I will tell you all I can. (Note: Just drilling holes and cutting the snorkel worked pretty well, but I think cutting the whole box added a tad bit more for a lot less work. I did one then just decided to go all the way with it. You can do it with a swiss army knife saw if you want.)
