The shortram pipe is an Arospeed short ram i got in a group buy and the CAI extension is the 92-95 Civic short ram that I got from AutoZone. Id suggest you get the Integra GSR CAI off of eBay though, do a search and you will find enough info on how to make a CAI for under $75

you better off just getting a 4 or 4.5 incha air filter...or buy a 3 inch MAS adapter. if you would have clearly read the other post under customizing 7G you would have noticed that the regular MAS Adapter is big. and if 3 inch is a normal size you would know big means bigger than 3 inches. i have both a 3 and a 4.5 inch filter, the 4.5 for a regular ram intake becuase of the mas adapter... and i got a 3inch filter for my cold air intake for those warm summer nights...oh how i miss them right now... but anyway if you want to stick with what u got which is a 4.5 inch MAS Adapter and a 3 inch filter. your most likely gonna have to go with a cold air intake. just go to home depot and get a 4-3 reducer and get an intake pipe like previously posted..either a civic since most people are familiar with that or an intagra pipe ...i would have no clue on that since i havent tried that out. put the 4-3 reducer on the MAS Adapter, pipe to the 3 in side of the reducer, and filter on the end of the pipe..isnt hard at all. good luck.. get back to us with what you do...hope this was helpful.

i think im going to try the reducer idea but i need to know exactly what the name of it is ata hardware store and i also need to know arround what the price for them are

[seth98esT]

They should be in the plumbing section at home depot and cost around $8 per...its just a rubber 4.5"-3" reducer fitting type of deal. Shouldnt be too hard to find...

[laxattack2001]

yay now all i have to do is save $$$ damn i hate being broke

[laxattack2001]

i was also thinking of taking sillicone glue and glueing the filter to the adapter would that work

[seth98esT]

i wouldnt glue it to the adaptor, just go get teh reducer and it will come with 2 clamps...

[laxattack2001]

cool ill do that then thanks seth

[Galant Ryder]

your still gonna need a pipe. theres no where to connect the filter to. and i dont think connecting rubber to rubber is gonna hold up that well.

[laxattack2001]

iill just get a small ass pipe by small i mean short

[IllestGalant]

don't even bother doing the short ram pipe that goes from the back
of the air sensor to the throttle body, it is smaller than the stock
size and reduces the air volume and flow. As for the front of the
air sensor going into a cold air intake, nice.

[laxattack2001]

Rubber to rubber holds up well i got the filter in :-D it was a pain in the ass to take out the air box but i got it thanks to all that helped me out i wouldnt have been able to do it w/o u guys
