Because of the odd shape of the D16Y7 intake manifold.

They do exist, keep looking if you really want one. Check the Marketplace too.

i was reading around... i know this has been asked a million times but im gonna ask it... should i even do CAI or should i just roll out with an SRI? i was reading that a CAI adds more horse and throttle response, but that an SRI makes it more torquie... its a completely bone stock engine and automatic... so any suggestions? i just want personal opinions. i wont flame not saying anyone else will but what would you do if it was your car?

opinion-(i havn't tested this but i feel pretty confident..) it won't matter which you get with a stock motor and auto trans. there shouldn't be any noticable difference in performance. SRI would be easier to install, and maybe easier to keep clean.
