i bought this CAI off ebay for $37 shipped. here's some pics of my install. i already had a doc speed wai on there so it was cake to put this on.

here's a pic of the pipe.

turn the wheels all the way to the left to allow access. remove the fender liner, kind of a PITA at times.

cut the pipe so the filter will fit. the opening on my k&n was too big for the pipe so i had to use the paper filter that came with the CAI.

tada! i know i need a red coupler. i had no luck finding one at the auto parts store.

this is the other pipe that came with the kit. had i not already had the wai, i could have used it.

you think getting a cheaper ebay one would do the same thing? or is it safer to go with the one for the honda accord?

they all do the same thing. if you are talkin about an ebay one for the alero/grand am/malibu then ya it'll work.

you could take the 90 degree bend on the second pipe, and add it to the end of your cai, toput the filter behind the foglight...i did this on mine
