which OEM airbox is best flowing for 1st gen b16a in a EG hatch?
Im looking to buy a OEM airbox, but do not know which one will fit and best flowing, any ideas? ITR? I heard GSR uses that dual stage box, so it isn't as good as ITRs.

Because of the following reasons:
-I live in an area where Cops pull you over for reasons such as clear corners, clear side markers, exhaust tip and ask you to pop your hood and give you smack.
-I don't want to loose any torque from the bends from aftermarket intakes.
-I don't want to change filters that often from dirt with aftermarket

your not going to lose any tq from an after market intake. You will gain tq and hp. I would just use the factory eg one. Or get a 99 si box.

I used to have a GSR airbox in my Civic and it was noisy because I couldn't run the stock resonator box. Then I put in a stock Civic airbox with a K&N drop in with the stock resonator box and it was quiet. I later got a ITR airbox and it is exactly the same as the GSR. That is the airbox, not the resonator box I am talking about. I know the ITR has something different but I am sure it isn't the airbox.

You do loose torque, torque below vtec range from using aftermarket.
