Yes it should fit but I would go with an AEM intake instead...

The same intakes that fit on Ex's, will work with the Hx. As for the 2nd auction, don't get the interfooler!

It should, i don't see why not. And i don't know what the hell that other intake is. That is messed. And when the guy was describing it, he said "an genuwine". But that intake is weird, i don't have thoughts on it.

yeah, i agree with evil_vap133. Get an aem. I got a v2 for like 160 on some site and it was definately worth it. It has the best sound in 4500 and up on the gears and when you floor it. Really low almost defining sound. I'll show you a pic in my dx if you want.

It will fit.. I have a similar generic peice of crap intake on my HX. It may be a peice of crap, but I don't really see a difference between it and the AEM one. I'd go for the fake J's racing **** intake if I had to do it again though.

i too have never seen this. proably one of those guys that goes out and buys a AEM TYPE R 3 inch intake and then bolts up a gsr throttle body to their d series motor and never port matches anything and gets no performance upgrade whatsoever. but to each his own for wasting money

hmm.......well theres plaxi glass in front too keep water out i asume, so the front is completly blocked from incoming air, and if u take it off. . . . .repeat after me "hydrolock" cause after u buy one of those and u pull teh plaxi glass cause its restricking ur air flow you'll be hearing that a lot . . . .in other words. . . .its ****

the filter has the most to do with it aem piping and a genirc pipe is the same **** as long as its the same diameter, so buy that **** and then buy a good filter, i don't like the idea of any short ram its suckn in hot air i know it doesn't make that much of a difference but hey no need to help the motor out with hot air
