K&N Drop In
i bought a drop in K&N filter, and it didn't fit properly. i had to trim it down a little bit. anyone know why this is? i looked on In Line Four, and they didn't specify wether it would fit a Dx or Si or what, it just said 92-95 civic. 
is the Si and Ex airbox larger than the Dx airbox?

Re: K&N Drop In (DxHatchback)
All 92-95' Civic CX-Si, USDM, JDM are all identical. I had no problem fitting mine at all. It just fits in really snug. If the side edges are bent a bit, you might have a problem.

if what side edges are bent? side edges of the filter?

I had an EX, bought the filter from inline four, worked perfectly. One thing I did notice, it looks like it's a perfect square...it's not. It's actually a rectangle, so try rotating it 180 degrees. Maybe that's your problem?

Hmm...do you have pics?
Anyways, the drop in filter doesn't really add any hp...I did a few dyno runs at AEBS' Dynojet 248C. The drop in filter maintains a consistent flow (like a new paper filter) for a longer period of time. So when a paper filter's flow characteristics start to slow down, a drop in filter will still have the same approximate flow. Plus, it's reusable.

Re: K&N Drop In (VTEC)
u can get more air flow into the air box by drilling qtr. in holes on the bottom..with just 4 little holes uve already open d up the box by 1 sq. in..atleast will eliminate any size restrictions to the filter..the filter will be the only thing offering any kinda intake limitations from hear out.

Re: K&N Drop In (deepnite)
I'm speculating way out in left field, here, but I don't suppose the stock airbox could warp due to the heat under the hood over time, could it? Perhaps that's why some of them had to be trimmed to fit.(?) I know before I replaced my airbox with a AEM CAI, mine dropped in no prob to the stock airbox.
