Default 98 Civic HX D16Y5 Cold Air Intake question

So, I love the fuel mileage, it's a decent and reliable car but I just feel it would be kind of nice to have a little sound to it so I'm looking at cold air intakes. It seems where ever I look, people make intakes for everything except the HX. Does anybody know if the HX has a different position for the throttle body or can I just throw one on from an EX? I assume the throttle body size will be roughly similar.

Side note - Not interested in the short ram design, I'm looking at the ones that go into the fender well.

Thanks,
-Aaron

Are you talking about the intake manifold itself or the cold air intake? Because I'm not that interested in converting to a Y8 manifold.

You might lose mileage with an aftermarket intake. Check those fuel mileage forums for more info.
