Back to my 97 DX, I bought it with a CAI, and I was trying to figure out if they come in two pieces or one, because mine is two piece. I was wondering If I could in effect, take on section off and put the filter on the other piece and make it a SRI if I ever needed to. Let me know if you guys need some pics.

 

yes u can

 

Ok, just making sure because it joins together kind of low like between the engine and the fender. Just checking before I break something.

 

as long as the filter fits there its ok....
basicaly your just making your cold air intake a short intake.

 

between the engine and the fender... how?
where exactly do the two pieces join together?

 

stu... relax its not a big deal it works /story this was a simple open and shut question

 

the reason i ask is because if the CAI runs right in front of the transmission and that's where the joint is, there is no point in him turning it into a SRI because then it can still get wet easily and will just be sucking in hotter air.

 

No, it's above the tranny, it's too dark now to take a picture, but I did it anyway. It is right between the fender and dizzy above the passenger motor mount.

 

oh alright, you're good then. i was just making sure, I didn't want you to put the filter right in front of the transmission and lose HP while making yourself more prone to hydrolock. lol

 

I understand, but that would be a silly way for AEM to make a CAI. The model Civic I have actually put it in front of the passenger wheel inside the bumper.
