I think the only reason why a higher-flow air duct would be beneficial would be if you are adding a supercharger. Really, you will not xexperience any performance gain with a new air bridge. Get a CAI system, first. It'll definitely give you a boost.

There are two connections that are important when considering which one to buy:
1. The throttlebody connection to smooth coupler and
2. The MAF coupling.

If your OEM airbridge fits now (after the intake swap), then you should buy the 97-00 airbridge. Its MAF opening is smaller to match your MAF.

That's a MAF, alright, but you really don't need that. If your OEM airbridge fits your throttlebody, then the 97-00 aftermarket airbridge should fit.
