Ive been looking for a clod air intake for my 1.6 protege for the longest time and still havent found it. looked on ebay and they dont have much but what they have is costing too much like $250+. If anyone know where to look or what to look for help me, Im disabled in this concept.

Most intakes on ebay will be over 200 bucks, you can do what it's on this picture i attached ( thanks to red99pro ) you take all the scoops/plastics out up until the airbox and then you just put a cone filter on.

Good luck!!

whatever cai you go with make sure the pipe size is the same as stock (ie. 2.25") any other size (many are 2.5") and you'll have nothing but problems.

anyways i got an intake for eaby for an mp5 and it fit into my 1.6 protege, all i ahd to do was cut out the masss air flow sensor and clog a hole where the ita sensor was supposed to be, and the car sound great. i spent like 60$ but the intake is decent looks nice nad sounds great.rezton cold air intake.

Yeap he's right, i saw it too. Around $2xx something.. the pipe has like a metal sheet on top that says INJEN in red. Looks decent but i'll go for protephile's CAI :D!!

I dont understand how this guy lists the same intake over and over, and this time, he has two listed at once. All with the dented filter...i kinda want one for the location of them, but i learned the fan that blows over my SRI isnt the A/C fan...

If you put a cone filter on the airbox you are sucking hot air from the engine bay is it not better to have fresh air coming in ???

Yea, a better idea is to remove the snorkel and resonator and connect a hose from the airbox to the grill.. and get a K&N panel filter!!

longer tubing=less response, but i never tried dat way

longer tubing=less response, but i never tried dat way

Longer tubing = cooler air
Shorter way = hot air

Btw i was thinking for double intake, a Y adapter with 2 cones filters
