AEM Hybrid intake on EK hatch w/ a B16A2 swap
Is an AEM Hybrid intake necessary on an EK hatch w/ a B16A2 swap? I see it on AEM's website. I always thought the engine bays on all the EK's were the same. I'm thinking about getting the V2 for an EM1 Si for my car.

No. the del sol has a hole behind the driver headlight EG style.
You can use a 3.5'' hole saw. There's an embossed panel behind the passenger side headlight. The EX models have a hole there for the intake to go thru. If you had an EX, you could just put a CAI thru that hole. If you cut that hole with a hole saw, and do a little spray paint touch up, it will look very factory. I like the way the intake sits better in this setup. IMO it looks a lot nicer. Plus it will give you a bigger variety of intakes. Here's how it looked on my EK.
Or just get the model for a 99-00 Si.

I agree. Putting the intake through that hole would be much cleaner. But I need a CARB # so I guess I'll get the Si intake.
BTW, that intake manifold is that?
