Attached is a picture of my Cold Air Intake (CAI). A Short Ram(SR) would end before going into the wheel well and the filter would still be in the engine compartment, right about where the AEM sticker is.
As far as just clamping a K&N on to the end of the stock rubber intake hose I see two potential problems.
1. Finding the correct diameter filter to fit perfectly in the rubber hose so that it won't fall off.
2. My CAI is bolted to the frame of the car, I don't know if SR's are too but if you attach a filter to the rubber tube it will flex and move around every time you get on the gas. This could cause damage to the filter, rubber hose and possibly other things in the are like the MAF sensor.
I'd suggest just saving your money for a few weeks/months and getting a solid aftermarket part.

i think your right HAHA, thanks man, i had a full CAI on my protege 5, it when down to the wheel like you said... i think im just gonna wait, is it hard to install myself?
one more thing, on my P5 there was a censer that if I didnt connect it between the twon pipes the car would go crazy and all the lights on the dash would go on... dos the MS6 have that?
