Cold Air Intake

I'm having a little trouble finding a cold air intake for my 97 Protege LX. I've seen the short ram ones, but I'm looking for a full sized cold air intake. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

There is no CAI for 97, there are not even any intake specifically for our car. All the short rams you saw require modifications. I just finished building my CAI. It does not go all the way into the bumper, but its halfway there. Also, there is another guy here that did his CAI, I think his name is nicksprotege, and here some pics of his intake job.

If pictures don't work, then copy and paste the links.

ACTUALLY...

Myself and my buddy/mechanic at Mazda just successfully installed the Ractive short ram desinged for a 93-95 1.8L on Monday. The intake required NO MODIFYING AT ALL! Its a straight bolt-on for the 97 LX 1.8L...

Sorry, right now, I have no pics of it.
