I think corksport makes one. Why would you want to do that, though? The stock intake tubing between the tb and the afm works perfectly fine.

If you really want to drop 170 bucks one something that has no performance benefit and is rarely seen, then here ya go: http://corksport.com/store/category/...rx-intake.html
Its about 2/3 of the way down.
Also, there are threads out there on how to adapt the prelude CAI to our cars.

Leaving an open filter in the engine bay isn't a very good idea because you are sucking in hot air. There are a number of ways to get around this. Either create a box around it that is ducted to a cold air source, or route the filter to another location like with the prelude kit.

Well, you use the cold air intake kit for a 92-96 prelude. There is a link that kinda shows how to do it here: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...relude+writeup
There is a link on that page to how to do the writeup, but the nopistons site won;t let me get to it. You might just need to register for the site to get to it.

Basically, the intake kit provides you with all of the parts you need to make a CAI. I think you might have to cut the pipe, but I dunno.
