I have a cold air intake and im attempting to make it more of a ram air intake whats the best way to go ahead and fabricate something to do this, or is there something to buy that is specifically for this, im looking to come out through the grill or lower bumper by where the fog lights would be if i had them

If you can bend the pipe or find a fitting to have it come out the grill, or where the foglights would normally sit, you can cut a hole in the bumper cover(pop out the fake grill for fog lights) and get a filter with the hole in the top and you have yourself a ram air setup. It's just a bitch to fabricate...I like the front mount intake setup, someone put a boost guage on it and got 1 pound at 60mph...but your also suckin up everything under the sun...

So i guess my question at this point is, is it worth butchering my front end to do it?

NO

there is a wierd intake thing on ebay that just puts the intake at the top of the radiator. with a carbon fiber cone its hard to explain it will come up if your look for((carbon fiber civic 01))

that is a super strange but cool looking intake i really dont think its worth it if i can find a way to do it when im bored one day ill do it but i dont want to buy yet another intake for my car it seems useless but thanks for the info i appreciate it,

thanks for everyones help i think i solved my problem im just gonna leave it and wait for the turbo money thanks

There is somebody on this site with that exact intake, in fact that picture on that ebay auction looks like his actual car.

does anyone know who has that intake and if so how well does it work

cut a hole in hood, fiberglass-mat a scoop on.

it's my engine bay and also PaCiFiKbAllA, he has an SRI and then he change it to Racer Design Intake, so he knows the difference (sound, performance, etc)

Just save your loot for the turbo...its your best bet, if you wasted your time changing to the ram air, you wouldn't really see that much power..not enough to make it worth the effort, and why waste money on a new intake which will give you MAYBE 1hp over what you have...
Turbo is the way to go...
