Nope, you can use the stock arm on any model.

If the filter fits the stock box, then it will fit the Icebox. So you could use the K&N E-2427 drop in filter.

I used the icebox with my factory intake arm and factory filter. I suggest you use either the K&N or a factory filter, anything else isnt going to fit right in the box, nor is it going to seal properly around the box. BTW, you have to use a intake arm that works with your car(LSs can use ITRs or LS arms, GSRs have to use GSR arms).

Correct. I'm currently using the Comptech foam filter in my Icebox and the ITR OEM arm on my LS.

Which box do you have? Is it for the LS or the ITR? Did the icebox come with a filter or did you buy that seperately?

I have a GSR with a Skunk2 IM, so I will need the ITR arm, and the box for the GSR or the ITR?

IIRC, the box is the same for all models, but you should contact Comptech to be sure. The filter comes seperately and costs about $60 and is reusable.

so is there a big difference in using a after market arm, im just using the stock arm(ls) with ice box, for now unless its worth the money to get the arm also.

I think the comptech intake arm is just bling. Im using it with stock intake rubber arm and drop in k&n filter e-2427.

comptech filter is sold separately. (50-70$ for the foam filter) EEK

if you have a skunk2 IM you'll need the itr rubber intake arm and I believe all iceboxes are universal fit for all model integras

actually the mounting brackets for the GSR and the ITR/LS are different. I know these from experience, I had to custom make my mounting brackets because the ones that came with mine were for the ITR/LS.
