DC with cone filter because it has more surface area...

I agree but I removed the integra one from my car yesterday to put the oem civic one back in. It fits better. The integra one would fit my hatch if I relocated my radiator reservoir tank.

i would say the stock eg because it was engeneried for that car just get a better flowing filter unless you remove all the cold air boxes under the fender then it dosent really matter
only dirrerence i could see is the dc2 intake box is closer to the engine may get hotter, but has to be there because of abs in dc2, eg has no abs so it can sit further away? its your call

I have a Integra motor in my chassis. also the 'dc2' box isn't closer to the motor. its closer to the radiator.

when I used a gs-r box, I had to use the LS arm becuase I have the skunk2 intake mani. now that I am running a eg airbox, I had to use the EX/si arm which fits perfect.

I'm happy running the DC box and ITR arm. I can tell that the higher flow of the arm and maybe the box as well that the engine feels smoother.
