There isn't much of anything that will give a Civic power. They are just the kind of car that should just be driving and not even tried to be raced.. If u want any type of cold air intake, go with any cold air intake. It will just be better for fuel and it will keep the motor running harder.

well this site can get you a decent intake system for a good price. but you may also want to try K&N, AEM or any other car website.http://www.procarparts.com/store-lis...4&cat=5&sub=39

Well if you're in California or any other state that requires CARB, you have to get an AEM if you don't want to get tickets. Otherwise you can just get any cheap brand, they are all essentially the same.

the idiot above me obviously knows nothing. a cold air intake will not give you 10-15 horsepower, it will maybe give you 3-5...and a short ram is absolutely worthless because it is just sucking hot air back into the engine.go with an AEM...they are the best on the market.

Try Simota (taiwan brand). It cost only a fraction of KN and perform as well. It is washable(no need to replace). And it is very durable.

I'd go with ebay, and buy the cheapest, but you will get a crappy filter, what i did was bought a cheap one from ebay then when the filter got really dirty instead of cleaning it i just bought a K&N filter. AEM and K&N have the best systems, but they are also the most expensive.

A cold air intake wont give you any noticeable HP gains. Maybe 2-3 more hp, but it's all just in your head. With a new CAI, the most you'll get out of it is a louder sound.Yes it brings "colder" air into the intake manifold, but your stock setup works just the same. Most of the airboxes on Hondas are directly to an air scoop, which introduces air from the outside of the car unlike short rams.If you want a cheap setup, and don't have to be CARB legal, just get an cheap EBAY intake, and throw on a K&N filter. Much cheaper and gives the same result.
