After the swap from my D16, I was using the old cold air on the new engine, which was little dinky compared to the new throttle body. A buddy of mine was tossing a lude intake which he didn't want anymore and just gave it to me instead after hacking it up a little to fit. The rubber connector was nowhere close to fitting around the new pipe as it already had to stretch a bit to fit around the throttle body. Being the genius that I am, I cut the connector in half, stuck that over the tb, and pushed the pipe over that, which was a bitch to do, but makes a great seal. Now instead of a tiny intake, I have an oversized one and all it cost me was the price of a (huge) new K&N. It may not look great, but it sounds a hell of a lot meaner.

See the little orange rubber connector underneath? It's nice and snug, the intakes not going anywhere :)

I guess that works.:bigthumb: My friend has a C5 in his 96 hatch and use a cheap as SR for the ITR.

I bought an AEM intake for this engine online about 2 weeks ago, and it never arrived so I took it as a ~$100 loss and bought this one. Well, today I get an email saying the purchased intake will arrive Friday August 1. I don't know whether to be pissed or happy I guess? Maybe both... dammit.

you could always give it to me :bigthumb:

I want to see if it fits better first, because the prelude intake runs right next to the hot engine. I'll install it and see if there's any power/sound difference, and if I don't like it I'll pm you.
