Do you have a VG or VE? if you have a Vg well you can order a accord i believe 90-93 COLD air intake and it works but it has the S pipe to go around the battery and the J pipe that goes down the the side of the battery, then you will need to find another J pipe to go down to behind the bummper. I got mine for 25 bucks shipped to my door from Revshotracing at ebay! I highily recommend them!

Well how it works is that http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2449113188 if you look at the pipe next to the clamps?? it is a J pipe! have you seen a real VG intake?? not a accord intake? well on a placeracing intake that same pipe that im talking (J pipe) about bends at the end therefore going down in to your bummper do you got it??

Does the brand of CAI really matter? I mean the ebay ones go for sooo much cheaper. Does buying a cheap CAI off ebay offer less performance or is durability of the CAI the issue?

quality of workmanship is usually the issue, where Ebay is concerned.

I was trying to avoid cutting my car... but I guess this is the only way to go.

Davebond007 said that they don't make them anymore?... Is that true?

I'm not going against you Dave, but what you said, you were unsure if they still made it. heh.

If WSP didnt make them, they wouldnt be on their site. Dave speaks from his ****

I believe LittlePiggie has the only option for not cutting the car.

OR MAKE YOUR OWN.

I'm no fan of cutting of the car either so I'll probably build some wild custom job for mine when the time comes.
Probably a NACA duct in the hood

I've been trying to buy one of theirs since April and they're ALWAYS out of stock "due to quality control problems with their supplier".
