    not really you can do the civic air box mod in order to do a cai or short ram
    but its kind of a dead art form with most people just going to a weber carb

    I have a civic airbox if you want to buy it. I just got a Weber so...


    It'll be a week before I'm done using it but after that you can buy it.


    And it does make somewhat of a difference in power, did for me anyway.

    dude stop procrastinating installing that weber, I thought you already had started that!
    You will be so glad you did and wonder what the hold up was...

    Flipped lid mod is probably a good place to start for you joshdoyle.

    if youre concerned how bad ass your engine compartment looks, which is the only reason I can think of to modify a CAI to a stock carb, then condsider making a manifold for four motorcycle carbs, now don't that pretty
