Hey Ali have you taken a look at a 96 yet? Yeah it just looks weird I tried to fit a pipe on but is won't hold. When you take out the airbox the end part is plastic. Not like the 92-95 its metal.

you can't get an MAF adapter for the 96 and add the pipe to the addapter.

Great job Ali. Way to come up with something on your own. It looks like a good job in putting it in.

I also want to make one suggestion regarding the water/hydrolock issue. It is very much an issue that can be easily resolved. All you have to do is buy a bypass valve. AEM makes a very good one. It only costs like $30, but it will totally protect you against ingesting water up into the intake. Splashing water should not be a problem unless the filter is totally exposed to the elements. If it's where I think it is, behind the foglight in the wheel well, he's not going to get any water unless he drives thru a large puddle.

I personally would buy the bypass valve that way you wouldn't have anything to worry about at all. Look at it this way...you'll have a CAI with less than $50 invested. You can't beat that.

BTW, the AEM bypass valve SAYS it won't work in other CAI's that are not AEM, but that's BS. I put it on my CAI from Place Racing and it worked beautifully. They make a 3" and a 3.5" one. That's all that matters.

It was tested in a magazine not too long ago on an NSX. They built a long "CAI" that was outside the car and dipped inside an aquarium. Obviously they were trying to see if the valve would let the water up into the intake. I DID NOT. Even with the car under load on a dyno, and the filter totally submersed it didn't let it go up into the intake. Kinda like a broken straw. It's really a simple concept. Wish I'd of thought of it....I'd be a zillionaire now.

Good luck and great job on DIY.

Hey Ali, yeah I asked around and ppl were saying the MAF adapter wouldn't fit. So yeah, I'm eager to do this mod but kinda stuck .

can someone post a pic of the 96 sc intake...im not sure what the difference is.
i just ordered the AEM bypass valve. thats probably the best way to go..thanx for the advise
this is a very easy thing to do...i don't have any premade ones. just find a shope that can bend the pipe for you like a muffler shop and they can do it...the 3" to 3" rubber connector can be found at most hardware stores.
