cold air intake question
Hey, this might be a dumb question but uhhhhhh, I have a 1998 civic hatch with a gsr swap and I want to get a cold air intake for it but I'm confused on what intake to get. Do I get an intake for a 96-2000 civic hatchback? or a 96-2000 integra gsr? I'm unsure of which one to buy :/

Re: cold air intake question
I was more worried about the direction of the piping if you know what I mean, as in. I dont want to buy a integra cai and then have that hoe run into the radiator instead of the hole in the wheel well lol

Re: cold air intake question
You need to get the intake that accomodates your TB position.
If you have a stock GSR intake manifold, then you will need the Intake system designed for Acura Integra GSR, as the elbow has a couple/few bends in it to accomodate the lower position of the TB. If you have a skunk2 manifold, or other single plenum IM on your car then go with the above.
AEM system made for GSR
Comptech GSR Intake (real nice peice IMO)

Re: cold air intake question
Exactly sir, well said.
I was only trying to buy a pipe that would go from my GSR TB to the hole inside the wheel well. Budget or brand isn't an issue. Just wanting to make sure a Integra GSR cold air would work inside my 98 ek hatch or If i needed a civic intake.
Thanks to all who helped out

Re: cold air intake question
You could always get mandrel bent piping and take it to a local welding shop to have them weld something up. Piping must be clean and have perfect joints, not jagged ends that don't match up from cutting haphazardly with a hacksaw...

Re: cold air intake question
Honestly? I would have a local shop make one for you out of 3" aluminum mandrel piping. You'll save about $100, it will be yours and yours alone.
