Nope those are ALL short rams, except for this one, I want this one lol I got the same thing but mine is black instead of polished. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-02-Cavalier-Firebird-INJEN-2-4L-RAM-Cold-Air-Intake_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38634QQihZ004QQi temZ140034396833QQrdZ1

But this is what a true cold air intake looks like for our cars...

I don't think the one from JBP is CA, it doesn't say it anywhere and $140 for a CAI is pretty damn cheap, like too good to be true cheap.

Ahhh ebay. if you do decide to buy one off of ebay, make sure its a reputable company selling it. I always hate to see people buying those plastic excuses for intakes, and then screw up their engine later on cuz they didnt want to spend enuf money to begin with.

Unlike yourself he has a 2.4 so it is worthwhile. But you are right about one thing, that clutch enhancment and shortshifter on a 2200 was a WASTE.
