Ya, the green filter is a monster. Pretty damned big. It will fit on the end of the stock air intake with the stock box removed, but it isnt aimed well at all towards the wheel well induction. Some modding will be required.
Ok, snapped some pics of my CAI. Still a WIP, but as is, it works well enough. Not 100% happy with the intake since it wasnt the one I originally ordered (the one I ordered was discontinued and this is the new design), but until I come up with another plan, it is what it is.
Part # from a Honda Civic Si. Pictured is the intake without the green filter and heat shield. This filter is MUCH smaller. The green filter fits it, but just barely and still rubs the side of the wheel well, and that is without the heat shield.

That larger intake port REALLY enhances the sound of the air being sucked through, which sounds pretty mean. In all seriousness though, I do NOT recommend this intake as it is really not modifiable. There is simply no room for shaving down the end to make it more compact in order to make more room for adding more pipework for elbows/angles.
I am still in search of a better fitting CAI that I can at least work with.
Oh, and ignore those weather torn wiper arms.... been meaning to paint them.... again.![]()
