aghhhghhh!!! help!

so excited was i today. went to a local shop and bought a CAI. the guy talked me into an OBX. i only paid 150 bucks, saved some money i thought. get the thing out of the box. no directions. take out the whole original intake system out and try to fit the damn thing in. no luck. wont fit. so....i put the old one back on and went back to the shop. the guy looks at it and says my battery is to big and thats why it wont fit. i have to get an original honda battery he says. then all will be well. so i go to the honda dealer and buy a new battery for 70 bucks and turn in the old one, which is only 1 month old. get home and guess what? it still doesnt fit. im pissed now. so i take every thing out including the battery and try to fit the thing. there isnt even a bolt hole in the right spot on the intake tube. can anyone help me here? has anyone had the same experience. i am....was driving a 95 accord ex sedan. guess i should have shelled out the extra money for an AEM..

yes i have checked. the box on the CAI says it is for 94-97 accord four cylinders.
