cool yeah the CAI I just ordered was from E-Bay also I am hoping that it goes to the fender well but then I think I'd have to re-route my battery?

If you got an ebay CAI for a 1st gen it probably puts the filter above the exhaust manifold.

Would that at least be more effective than the stock air-box?

Sure, for sound.

You're better off just selling it and buying a real CAI or making one yourself out of a 3.0 intake tube and a K&N filter.

Get the 90-degree bend from the intake tubing on a 3.0L V6 Caravan either from a junk yard or from the neons.org For Sale board. From there you cut your battery tray to allow it to fit and put a cone filter on the end. Some people will cut the 3.0 intake to put a extension in it, usually a piece of exhaust pipe (pretty sure it is 2.5").
