Before I bought mines (CAI) I went to the net and did some research. This should answer your question

well im pretty sure that for the neon there is only a cold air intake.
i got me a AEM brand intake and it extends down by the wheel fender.and if you take the black cover out u get better air flow.
but a short ram intake is only possible if u make a short pipe and put a filter on it which would basically look like the original air box. so meaning a cai should extend down by the wheel.
and if you dont want to spend much on a cold air intake go on ebay and get one from there then just change the air filter to one from aem or K&N.thats what other peeople will say.
and one last thing getting the intake will sorta make ur exaust sound better and louder.
( it also sounds cool cause u can here the intake sucking in air if u listen very good.)
well hope that helped.

the short ram intakes are available on e-bay.. forgot how they compare in price to the CAI's, but I got my short ram off e-bay (pic below, taken a while ago, before I replaced the filter).. was the first engine mod I did, and even when I had a stock muffler on it, was still getting a nice sound from it.
Just wondering about the statement that the short ram is basically just like the stock air box. (?)... from what I saw when I took mine off, it is basically an enclosed path (just like a CAI) that has an air tube leading out into the wheel well... it's just that a real CAI has the filter in the wheel well, and the stock has the filter up near the throttle body...
so which one again is the stock air box more like?

a intake on the neon is meant to suck in cold air from location by the wheel well i dont think the intake is meant to suck in hot air.
