Any good ideas for what would work on my '96 SLE? I've got the computers right where the filter is in all the pictures I see.

Attach the shield to the filter, not the pipe. That'* the beauty of the 4750....besides having the IAT in the filter itself. See pics here:

I got mine directly from K&N, but I believe AJ doesn't charge extra for shipping (included in price).

So where else can I find a "rice pipe"? I went to every auto store I could find within abou 20 minutes from my house. No one had one. Even the Auto Zone I went to didn't have one. There was a spot on the shelf but the guy there stocking the shelf said they hadn't had those in stock for months, and doubts they'll get more. Any place online sell them (yea, I'm one of those online shoppers)?

Looking for it......found couplers at Autozone.com:

http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...=Tube+Couplers

The rice pipe DrJay bought BARELY fit the 92/93 TB on his car, so a 94/95 or 96+ would need one of these.

I don't see that ricer pipe on their website. Just these, and they're all too short:

Yup, I found all the couplers and short tubes there. Just not that pipe. I do already have the couplers and filter, so I need only the bare tube anyways.

I believe the pipe was for a civic, but can't remember. You will have to cut it also. Probably any civic pipe?

That was the only pipe they even had listed on their shelf. I found other "kits" with filters and couplers at other stores, but they were too much considering they wouldn't be a gaurenteed fit.

Jason said he would take a look down by him to see if they had any more in his area.
