Here are pictures and a review of the cold air intake I picked up on Ebay, it is a steal at 45 dollars with free shipping.
Here is the link to the product listing.

The kit included everything needed for a quick installation and several brackets that helped support the filters weight.
Here is a picture of whats actually in the box.

They include a rubber surround for the hole in the engine compartment that the intake will go through.
Its not really needed but is a nice touch.

And the last is everything installed.

The one issue I had with this kit is that without the brackets to support the filter and pipe the passenger tire will contact the filter when turning the wheel hard to the left.
With the brackets everything worked perfectly.

 

You better get a bypass filter so if it rains you won't drown your engine

 

I have hydro-locked this engine before.
It had nothing to due with my intake.
During rain I can convert it to a short ram style by removing the second section of pipe.

 

Its a steal for that price...
What I would do personally, buy an AEM dryflow filter to go on the end... That way you know for sure that you are running a quality filter...

 

Could you send a link to this thread for the filter your recommending?
I appreciate the advice and just want to document everything including any changes I make.

 

Well you have to measure the diameter of the piping for me to give you the correct recommendation.. My guess is that its 2.5" though so I will send a link for that

I am fairly certain its three inches but I will look into a filter like you suggested.

 

It seems this is more what I would need.

x2!

 

Well you may need a by-pass for when its wet but you still need a good filter for ALL the time...
As I said, measure up and search for the correct AEM filter.. You definitely won't regret that

 

Ok, I will look into it!!

 

I just installed the same cai on "00" accord. I wasn't sure how to install the brakets it seems secure but I wouldnt mind a little more stability for peace of mind. Did you install the brackets? If so would mind telling me how you did so? Thanks in advance!!
