"you mean like what we're all doin' for intake, but with turndown on the end to get it under the unibody?"
That is exactly what I mean Damerorder. A pipe that has a piece going into and behind the bumper. Then the filter would sit there.

m'kay, just went outside and looked, I think it would work, only you'd have to cut life saving metal out. Maybe shift the charcoal canister back an inch or so, but it should fit, need like 60* on the turndown, and i'd put a mesh cage loosly over the filter to keep it from getting hit with sticks and stuff.... and if you put a peice of metal to loosely push to air upwards with a RX filter.... Yeah, that'd be cool.

I went to the hardware store today. It looks like it is possible. Just a lot of curves. Don't know how well this will work as the airflow will have too many bends. A mandrel bent pipe I think is the best way to go.

Timely topic for me as I took apart my air box last night on my 2000 SSEi to see how the air was routed. I didn't realize the PCM was in the airbox, presumably for cooling. When people go to CAI, what do they do with the PCM?

Under where my stock air filter box used to be there is a 5" diameter, 7" tall black tube. It holds fuel fumes at some point, I forget which, But any way, You need it. It'* in the way.
