Cool

Couldve modified the stock box.

1. get a good filter [k&n PANEL!!]
2. go to hardware store, pick up a few feet of duct
3. drill hole in bottom of airbox [proportional to duct size!]
4. Use what u want to secure, be it, caulking or such
5. Place duct in area where air can enter better

BTW, website says;

Weapon-R Secret Weapon Air Intake System: *For Off-Road Racing Use Only

a cai is not very hard. you just need a hacksaw, if you have no power tools, and some piping with a 90 degrees bend. If you buy a civic cai on ebay, you will have more than enough piping to create a cai and you will also need a 2.75" pipe that can house your maf.

It just takes a little time and some measurements. I created a cai a little over a year ago and it was well worth it.

good luck

I think it looks good. I won't be buying one, but I'd like to see pics of it installed with the ram air tube. Plus, any ideas where you're going to route that tube?
