Default AEM Short Ram Intake Help

i have a 1999 honda civic Hx and i have been searching for an AEM SRI but they do not show that it would fit the hx models. I can only find them for Cx/Dx/Lx , Ex, and Si . Does anyone know which of these models would fit my Hx, I have heard Ex would but i do not want to buy unless i know for sure that it would fit. I am only interested in the AEM SRI's. Any help would be great. thanks

well you have a D16y5, which has the side-mount TB like the y8, which is in the EX's and 96-98 SI's, so you could PROBABLY get an EX intake to work, but it might not fit as perfectly as it does the y8.

idk, sensors not being correctly/fitting into the grommet hole, idk. It'll prolly work, or your other optinon is GET ONE OF THESE, then get a nice AEM Dryflow or K&N Filter for it, being really, a pipe is just a pipe the filter is what mkaes the big difference, and the ebay filters are complete crap. I have the ebay intake w/ an AEM Filter (and so do many others here on HCF) and im prettty sure everyone is happy with it.

i see that all of these intakes fitment includes both ex and hx, do you think that it would work the same way as for an aem. i also happend to notice that injen has the the same fitment for hx and ex. what do you think
