Most stupid intake question ever.

Well I just got my SRI for my 03 EX, and I have a question that is pretty dumb. Is the intake piping supposed to be split into 2? Whenever I have looked at pictures online it looks like 1 long peice, but I think the part that may be split is always covered by wires? Anyway I'm just asking because I want to make sure it's the right intake . Thanks

Cold air intakes have two pipes I think, whereas short ram has one.

JCiv03 is on a distinguished road
I've seen this ad in a recent (maybe a few months ago) SuperStreet Magazine that sells those rubber hoses, especially for intakes. I dont remember the website, but i think its the one with two white rsx's on the cover

when you purchase a new set of hoses it probably comes with the ones for your intake, but get a whole set thats a diff color, that way you get to make your engine bay look all snazzy and you get your pipes haha good luck bro! or just i can take a close up pic of mine and you can go to home depot and get one just like it, they probbaly will have something...

2 hoses? where does the second one go?
my SRI came in 2 pieces, one 90 pipe, one straight, one hose goes from pipe to head.

you have one hose that connects the 90 degree bend pipe to the throttle body. then another hose to connects THAT peice to the 2nd piping peice. the filter goes on without a house...its kinda got on already.

How do I figure out which hose I am missing anyway? The one I do have is black with an inner orange hose.
