bb1boy, did you use your existing 4th gen lower air box or the one supplied with the Type-S?
I had an issue with it sitting too high in the engine bay. I've heard the 4th gen box is shallower. :?

Oh, yeah I just used the one that came from @preludemanh22, it fit nicely, maybe it had already been swapped with a 4th gen lower box?

I'm not sure whether the car has been getting used to the new intake or if my old one was so clogged up, but it is going like the clappers at the moment, it nearly takes off in VTEC.. I drokking love it!
That intake, plus my Tanabe manifold straight through to backbox, makes the car sound like a rocket! Big smile :D

@duckface, there is a guy on LG Facebook breaking a BB1, I'm sure he has a Skunk2 exhaust for sale.

Is it possible to fit a 5G Type-S air intake into a 4G VTEC?
