Only CAI I have is an APS 70mm one. You have to be insane to want that one and not want blow-up engine.

Boomee,

There have been many used ones for sale on nabisco and iwsti.com...I am surprised you didn't pick one up already. You want me to keep an eye out for you and call you? I am saying this b/c you usually don't see posts or check PMs too frequently.

That is a VERY large intake that will make you run very lean (trust me, if you buy one off IWSTI or NABISCO you won't have to worry). lean=boom

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Yeah, the stock diameter is 65. The 70 unit was put up for people who were hitting the 5V limit on the MAF. This is a must tune for power unit... So why do I have it?!?!?!

The APS 70mm CAI requires a MAF recaibration to work w/o creating a lean condition. You can also tune entirely by MAP and a wideband o2 sensor. However, this is an involved and tedious process that few would likely want to do. Will the 70mm CAI add power? You bet! Can you just bolt-on and go? Absolutely NOT!

Prodrive CAI or the APS 65mm CAI are pretty much your only two choices. I know you can find one of these two on one of the forums...I think a guy on sf.org is selling his prodrive.

NOTE: I don't trust Injen, AEM, or any other joe-schmoe company as far as the design and maf mounting location.

Stick with the stock intake or a short ram. You don't need or want a CAI.

My 2 cents.
