Is there any actual difference between cold air intake for a 96-98 and a 99-00 Civic DX. Like some companies split the intake into two categories and yet some sell them as 96-00 Intakes? For example, AEM sells their intakes as 96-00? I looked at some of the pictures of the products and I can't find any physical difference, except in some pictures there are two ports on the 99-00 Intakes where as the 96-98 have only one. By ports I mean where there is a silicon hose that connects from the valve cover to the intake; however I only see one connection in my civic neways? Does anybody know about this? Thanx

I think the only difference is b/w the size of the pipe.
i think the Si/SiR's get a wider pipe.

someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

Yes you are correct, the pipe size is different, but what I'm wondering about is what is the difference between a 96-98 CAI and a 99-00 CAI for a DX engine. I know the engine is the same for 96-00, but how come some companies sell them as two separate intakes?

no, no diff in the engines between 96-00 DX models... coupe/sedan and hatch...all the base ones came with the same motor.

So you can use a 96-98 Intake on a 99 Civic?

Here is what I mean here are some pics to help out with what I'm saying.

Here is the 96-98 pic

Here is that same intake for 99-00 civics

Now from looking @ the pics the only difference I can spot is those little pipe connectors that branch off the pipe near where the throtle body is? Why is this so?
