yes, you should use a renix box. it is identified by a flap in the intake opening and solid metal clips to hold the top on.
the air tube should have a mount with 3 holes to bolt it onto the throttle body.
i should have a spare one here, but not sure if i tossed it yet. plus the cost of shipping would be more than what you can get one for from a wrecker.

Try up at harry's u-pull-it in allentown or go all the way out to the one near harrisburg. You might find something in either one of those. A little out of the way for philly, but worth a shot if you can't find one on e-bay anywhere. I don't know of any place around me to find a renix air box, other wise I would scope one out for ya.

i ran my renix for 10 years with a cheap made up CAI that only consisted of a stock air tube with a k&n filter attached to the end.
hoses hung free. passed emissions every time.
only reason i put in an airbox was to add my snorkel.

im going to look around in there havent had much luck anywhere else and its causing ALOT of problems for my engine i down have good vacuum on any part of the airbox so its causing my engine to idle wayyyy too high about 3000rpm and i have to fight with the throttle to get it back down to around 800rpm which overheats my engine alot and i cant afford to replace and seals or gaskets right now
