    Thats what it looks like. I was going to buy the Beck-Arnley off of Ebay for $40. Any recommendations on brand to select for the sake of durability? The dealership wants $160 for the OE replacement! Thanks buddy.

    Any one know where this originally mounts? It was deemed unnecessary by the previous owner. Im kind of particular about things and i would like to use the OE location. Thanks.

    The intake was actually pretty easy to reinstall. Ive got everything almost ready to go. Does any one know the best/ Cheapest place to get a full exhaust?

    Hello everyone i am new to the forum. I own a 2003 Protege5 and i was in the process of swapping my motor with a JDM. I will probably have a boatload of questions before long. Now i have to remember how to put all this stuff back together. The intake manifold seems like the biggest challenge.
