When most people refer to a "CAI" they refer to just slapping a pod filter on there, and calling it good. I've done true cold air intakes on my turbo charged saabs, pulling air from in front of the passenger side tire.

I haven't researched options much for the alero, expecting them to be like most "cai" out there, putting the filter where the current air box sits.
