There really are only two ideal areas from which to access air that is in a high pressure are and that is the lower bumper and the wiper cowl area. One of the reasons I like the CRV airbox is the factory cold air inlet and the larger air volume capacity inside the airbox. Plus, the cover readily lends itself to connecting a duct/scoop to the cowl area.

Dan, I am almost there. I did a trial fit of Soxfan's MAF housing and it fits beautifully. Only thing I need to do is to finish up the duct connection.
Nice, I can't wait!! In the mean time I'm going to try and make an "Aluminum Top Cover" for the Stock Si gutted airbox with my Fujita F5 filter in it. I don't know how well it will work, but it's worth a shot IMO. I'll do it next weekend after finals are over.
