You don't have an intake, but you have an exhaust ?

if your car is a 130 mph+ car, make sure the plastic in the wheel wells are secured well and aerodynamic, or just rip them out to save weight. otherwise its kinda scary to hear and see them rip off at 130mph.

Tip:
If you have a 92-00 Civic or Del Sol (except 96-00 DX/LX Civic, 96-97 S Del Sol) and you have a short ram intake and no wheelwell covers, to keep water from splashing through the hole where the stock intake passed through and onto your SRI's filter, take a milk jug or some other plastic (preferably thick, I used plastic from the wheelwell covers I removed) and cut it into the shape of the area by the circle cut out in the body. Then take the 10mm head bolt that is next to the hole that held your stock intake, and remove the rubber insert from it. Drill a hole in the area of the plastic you cut where the bolt will need to pass through, then bolt that plastic down in that place.
This should help you from getting your filter wet. My filter was getting drenched from this hole and bogged down when it was wet. Once I did this I haven't had problems.

SPARK PLUG TRICK:
TIMING ADVANCE:
Advance your timing. This makes your engine wait a little longer to ignite the fuel and creats more torque. Remember to use 91+ octane because the higher compression may pre-ignite lower octane fuels. If your hear knocking or pinging, then your fuel is pre-igniting, go back to normal timing or use higher octane. (higher octane, 91,94 etc., is harder to ignite)
