Why don't you just buy an 02-03 Cai?

Different set up but if it's stone cheap buy it and try it, I mean if it dosn't work sell it back. You'd be the first to do it...

No, it won't. Depending on how cheap it is, may be worth getting and modding, but the short answer is no.

And also, the 00-03 chassis doesn't HAVE a CAI available, the 04+ does. this means, that without a shadow of a doubt, this will not fit your car, and most certainly, even if you DO get it to fit, it won't be a true CAI.

You probably have to relocate your battery to make it "work"...

This is motivating me to just buy it and make it work and then do a write up on here. Its not like I never customized something to make it work. Anyone with an Intake for an 00-03 wanna help me out and give me some measurement?

I can help you if you want, I have every part needed to make a real CAI in my basement. A headsup, you have to drill a 3"+ hole in your fender.
Another note, all the parts to make this yourself will be about $100. If this intake costs more than $60 don't bother.
