I have a CAI but want to switch back to OEM, Help please!
I bought a 99 civic 2dr EX. Everything is completely bone stock except for the cold air intake. I want to switch everything back to stock OEM but dont know ALL the parts to buy to convert it to OEM stock. This is what I have pictures on craigslist.

I went to www.hondapartscheap.com saw the intake diagram, but still confused on all the parts I need. For example, is there any parts that go underneth where my CAI filter is located on the passengerside fender? Anything else I need to know? Thanks guys!
Here is the diagram Ive been looking at.

stock airbox, stock air pipes, restrictor box that sits IN THE PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER, and flat filter of course.You could have CAI performance with an OEM feel and look by going with a custom made icebox. Might coust you $20 at the most.
i was debating going back to stock or making a custom made icebox. I hate that whistling noise from a short ram. If i use my CAI, i'm afraid of hydro locking (again)
If you REALLY want to completely go back to stock, you'll need the resonator (#11), J-tube (#16), and the associated hardware.
The resonator goes inside the passenger side front bumper under the headlight, and the J-tube connects the resonator and the airbox. You'll also obviously need the arm, upper airbox, lower airbox, etc.
Really though, you could leave those out, and probably no one would notice. I've been running without them for years. You can try with just the airbox and arm, and if you don't like it, then order the other stuff later.
