Well I bought the 94-01 Acura Integra Cold-Air Intake off of ebay for like 30 bucks from a company called Dynamic Auto out of maryland. First off I must say this was an AWESOME deal on this intake, great quality and comes in a silver powdercoat.....and the shipping was quick! It came in two days. Anyway's, here is what is necessary to make it fit properly and look great! ( so there is no hood clearance problems)

The only things necessary for the job are :

-flathead screwdriver
-saw to cut the piping
-lubricant gel or spray to ease the connecting of the pipes
-and you'll have to buy an extra 2" rubber coupling (I bought all new ones because the blue that it came with didn't match my color scheme, so I bought black)
-breather filter

here is the pic to refer to as I explain what to do:

Step 1: remove battery, battery tray for ease of installation.

Step 2: your gonna have to cut the lower pipe cause it stands to tall in the engine bay causing slight fitment problems......so cut it about an inch above and below the bracket on the lower intake pipe.......the bracket gets in the way of the battery anyway's.

Step 3: Install the 90 degree elbow up to your throttle body connecting the vacuum line back up to the intake pipe, there is no outlet for the pcv so I put a breather filter on......I suppose you could rig something else up though

Step 4: Since you cut the lower intake pipe you will have two pieces.... small elbow and a longer piece which was the bottom of the pipe, take the small elbow and attach it to the pipe that was just connected to the TB using a rubber coupling on both ends, then sit the intake filter in the corner under where the battery goes as far into the corner as you can.......so then when you attach the last pipe you can kind of "slide" the pipe end into the filter coupling.

Step 5: attach the last pipe you have left to the elbow you just installed and finally into the filter at the bottom. Tighten all your clamps and make sure everything is cool.

Step 6: re-install all the battery components.

Final Conclusion: This is a very inexpensive way to further dress up your engine bay and make more power then a typical short ram intake, it has more torque and a crucial sound which is heard very well outside. I used a friends g-tech (the newest model) and it was running two tenths better in the 1/4 mile measurement than what it was with a short-ram.....very well worth the purchase IMO.

hope that helps to all those wanting a CAI......

peace.
