It could be made to work. Theres another one with a different set of hose hook ups.

That's the one I used in mine. Had to take a saw to it to use the factory air box though.

yes, it is the same one i got for my 96 bd 2.5. i have pics on myspace under liquidracing. i'm the one with the red skull. check out my ride photos and you will see it installed. it did take some extra work to make it fit right. i cut off three inches or so of the filter side of the plumbing. buy a spectre maf sensor adapter 3"(for the cone). cap off the two valve cover intake ports on the intake, and, put on spectre cone breather filter caps. drill a hole(size escapes me) for the crank case breather return line. please don't try to put a filter breather on the crank outlet, it will remind you of one of the most disgusting odors the inside of your car will ever have aside from the fact that the fumes are both nosiating and toxic! it is an improvement, however, you will get what is called a lean-fire/hydro-lock issue. that is when you are at 0% throttle, then slam your foot into the core of the earth and all you'll get is whompwhompwhompwhomp until you let off the gas. older cars and motorcycles get this often when people do air intake mods. it is easily described as this"you must increase jet size when you increase intake size to compensate for leaner a/f ratio due to larger possible air flow." well, when your car is computer controlled and you don't have "jets" then, what's left? find a dyno tuner in your area, pay the $150/hour of dyno/tune time, so that ratio can be corrected in real time....it amazes me how many people have simple issues like this, post a hundred times, spend countless hours and money trying to resolve an issue that can be flashed into the cpu within minutes of entering the dyno. if i'm wrong somebody shoot me!

note yellow circles. this is where something was added, or modified to fit! also, see how close the filter is to the abs? would have been on top of it without the 3" cut.https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2008/09/100_25981-1.jpg

driver side spectre cone breather cap.
