Is this the correct kit?
Seems there are two kinds of kit for the 90-93 Acura.

I did it for better gas mileage, and to have a filter that never needs to be changed.

Maybe I'm not looking close enough but is there no hole where the filter is at? I figured you would have to saw out a hole for cold air to hit the intake filter but I dont see it in this walkthrough. Also, what tool did you use to cut the piping?

Some people have chosen to cut a hole out behind the bumper in order for fresh air to enter the intake... it may provide slightly better hp but has yet to be dyno'd... if u live in a dry environment and are willing to cut a hole in ur car go for it... otherwise as far as i know not worth it especially if u plan on driving in the rain

What are you doing with the small ?vaccum? pipe, just in front of the VAF on the airbox.
Its a 4mm internal diameter.
Think of tapping a line into the piping, does it need to be before the VAF like the oem fitment ? Its a lot eaiser to run it to bafter the vaf.........but do I even need to bother, can I blank it off.
You can see it on this pic ( also showing the bonnent stay mod ) between the vaf and the bolt for the OEM air filter housing.
