PRM makes one. Thats what I have on mine. However, it's not a "FULL" cai as it only connects after the maf. I like my set up tho.

Making your own is definately the way to go. You will save alot of money if you just build your own. Do a quick search and you will find endless amounts of info on a cai build in the v6 performance forum.

That will work to an extent. The mx6/pgt cai doesnt relocate the filter to the fender well. Get a 91-93 integra cai if you still have a k8 in your mx3.

This will work just fine. It may require trimming the piping, but other than that its extremely straight forward.

Doesn't the Prelude CAI fit as well with a little modification?

I think just about any cai will work because they are nothing more than piping and couplers. Its important to get piping with the right about of vacuum ports and close to the right bends. Hence the integra intake works very well because it takes little modification. I dont specifically know about the prelude intake, but i have also heard intakes for the crx will work.

My CAI is made up from parts from an Accord CAI and a MX-6 Short Ram CAI. Granted I spent probably a little more than some folks do.. but I wanted 3 vacuum ports and spare parts I can use for other things.
