98 Protege cold air intake system

Hi all
This is my first time here but I am really glad that I found you guys. I was going to install a costumizd air intake system in my younger brother's car as a birthday present, which is a 98 protege 1.5L engine. My problem is that all air intake systems available are only for 1.8L engines. So, I was wondering if it will be the same (piping of the 1.8L), I mean the same diameter & length or it will be different??!! I was also thinking to replace one that fits a 98 mirage with 1.5L engine because they looked almost the same to me.
Thank you all

As long as all the brackets fit so you can mount it properly, and the intake has an opening for the IAT sensor then go for it. It's all the same stuff, just a pipe that sucks in air ...

Thanks KrazieFox for your advice, it is really valuable to me. But what you meant is that the pipe diameter for the 1.5L is exactly the same with the 1.8L coz I am going to order it & I guess they are going to include all necessary brackets with it.
Thanks again.
P.S. you have a beautiful ride
