I need to replace my air hose and it's freakin $80 bux for the hose so why not just get a new intake for the car, but i am having a hard time finding one for my model (1.5L) 1995 ex protege. I know someone that knows someone that can make one for me but they're being lazy :rolleyes: so maybe someone on here can give me an answer (help)

No one but Essential Speed makes intakes for our cars (aprx $200). Other then that, you play around with eBay cheapos, or intakes made for our cars and modify them to fit. Its not that hard. I made my old CAI from scrap 2" exhaust pipes, and bend by eye. But I only have in the car for the summer, and even then I have to look out for rain/water on the road. If you are curious as to how it looks, you can check out my cardomain page ---> http://www.cardomain.com/id/turbonium959. Goodluck.

P.S. Stop by www.clubprotege.com (http://www.clubprotege.com/) it has many more people with the car like yours.

thats nice ass custom work dude. ive never seen thatThanks. It was really half-assed, but it works great. I am going to try to make another one, only this time the bends will be better, and I will give it a nice finish.

I just cannot wait until the good weather comes back, and re-install it. It makes such a difference! I went auto-xing last year, and at first I had stock intake, and when I was on the course, the only thing heard was the tires. Then I put CAI on, and it was the only thing you could hear when I was on the course.

ill try to get some parts here from Philippines..not very sure cos its hard to find someone to carry the intake since its kinda bulky...or maybe i can get just the pipes and connector and leave the cone filter there..ill try to post a pic of my intake..

i chopped up my dad's 95 BMW M3 CAI and it fit great....pretty cheap too if you can find a Bavarian Motorsport catalog.

go to autozone or pepboys or where ever and buy a 98+ honda accord intake. aprox.50-80 bucks, and fab that. I did this with my 1.5. go to my threads in 1st-2nd generation performance.
