Gen1 XR = Base (engine bay design)?

I've got the '04 Matrix (base) but most of the bolt-ons I've seen are matched to the XR, which also has the 1zz-FE motor, and make no mention of the base model.

I was wondering, though, for things like a CAI or SRI which have to be bent to fit into the engine bay, are the two engine bay designs identical?

Yup, identical. The main differences are power windows/locks/cruise and ABS.

Thought so! Thanks for the confirmation!

(PS I had a cruise fitted to mine at purchase; I do so much highway that I just couldn't live without it.)
