I take it you are not in the US I would say for that much money, it's not worth it. In the US we can get the Accord CAI for a lot less and that is for the 2.0 engine. I don't know how it would work with the 1.6.

I currently have an eBay SRI on my 2003, thinking about adding some piping to change to a CAI, but not sure if it will fit between the battery and fuse box. Does anyone know what size piping will fit?

2.5-2.75 should fit the fender opening. or you can grind out the opening.
if you want to spend the money($80-$100) an A'pexi power intake filter is the best out there IMHO. DCsports makes a psuedo copycat $45. if you do a true CAI in the fender please invest in bypass valve and prefilter (prefilter doesnt impede air flow ) an additinal option is to get a filter with inner cone filter and cold air kit which is a center peice which locks into center filter, a flex hose and a fender mount which you bolt to opening and attach flex hose to -------------------- Oh no, I'm so sorry... the correct answer is The Moops.
The packaging clearly stated '100'. I'm short ONE luft balloon. |

They also sell hydroshields for CAI filters. It might be worth a little peace of mind and shouldn't impede airflow.
