I did this a couple of years ago. Ended up making a larger one that was a clone otherwise.

Eventually changed to an AEM CAI

I had the most ghetto looking air intake on my civic when I first bought it. Everything was from homedepot and then I threw on a filter and wrapped the whole thing in heat reflective tape. But you know it worked really darn good and gave my car a nice bit of power.

Thanks, 1.5. Yeah, I was pretty proud of it. It actually did pretty well on the Dyno, too. However, the AEM did produce more power (especially in the 4k range).

I just finished making my own last week.

There is no excuse for bumping an 11 year old thread. None whatsoever. Cut the **** out. Stop it.
