Cold air intakes?

Hey guys i have been looking for a col air intake for my truck for a while with no luck. My truck is a 1991 f250. 7.5L 460. Its the stock intake with the 2 hoses. And i keep finding intakes that only have a single opening. Has anyone found one?
Thanks

Save your money. Nothing will perform better than your stock setup. The money would be better spent on gears or a cam or something.

Banks makes a pretty good set up, I'm looking into getting their full set up.. Look on SummitRacing.Com or Jegs.Com

jarryd is correct. Unless the intake is drawing in outside air thru a scoop or something of the sort its worthless. All it is doing is sucking in hot air from the engine bay.. The stock air box should have snorkel that goes up by the grille or hood opening, my 96' 5.0 did and that is just as good.. Granted now I have removed the air box and got some custom piping and have my filter turned up to where it draws in air thru my hood scoop which is "cold air" and it did make some noticeable improvements.. But save your money and get gears (4.10) or a cam... hell get some long tube headers and full exhaust.

The 300 and 460 air box has a tube going straight to the core support, not sure how much more of a cold air you can get. The 302 and 351 had the (less desirable) tube above the radiator.

Thats a lot of money for a muffler, tailpipe, and a fancy aluminum airbox cover.

"cold air intake"...more like hot air intake, the stock set up is more then enough, if you truly want "cold air" your looking at putting in a snorkle similar to what some jeeps or off road vehicles (hummers in the military) have. best upgrade I would suggest is (if you have the 5.0/5.8 snorkle) is the intake that is off the I6 (i think) that puts the intake right behind the drivers side head lamp where the air is clean and cooler then from the engine, also less restricted by the tiny gap between the hood...
