air duct
i have a fake j's racing intake, and after about 20-30 minutes of driving my car is slower. its not a huge difference but i can tell my car is not as fast as it was when it was cold under the hood. So i saw the air duct's that j's racing was selling for around 150-200. i wouldnt mine having that but i will NOT pay 200 dollars for that piece that cost them less then 5 bucks to make.
So i had an extra short ram intake arm laying around and i stuck it under the bumper and not threw the foglight because it didnt bend that way. Do u guys think this thing is legit, i just stuck it on today and started driving with it. Also what should i use to cut on this plastic with?

it seemed all the dryer ducts were to big to fit through the hole in the engine bay? did u have a problem with this? or do they make smaller ones

Re: air duct (POE)
no they make smaller ones i think it is made for like a exaust fan for the bathroom. it is just a stiff tube made of all tin or whatever it is just go the the section in a hardware store where they have the fans for bathrooms. it should be in there

Cant really see my stuff, unless I remove the bumper....and I honestly dont feel like doing that.
But like I said, its just the stock downpipe that sucks cooler air from behind the front wheel (like a cai) into the stock box with a sri arm instead of the black rubber tube.

I ran an air duct from Home Depot to the front of the bunper grill right next to the fog lights (EK) but when my friend got her front bumper replaced they didn't do it right, cuz you need to cut away a bit of the back of thee bumper so the duct can slide through and sit when the bumper is reattached. Also, Weapon R has a Airbox that you can buy and modify to fit the J's if you want. Look it up on Nopi or Waepon R's site, good luck.

Re: air duct (SPNFEDEJ)
Yea i would build a box that the lower intake peice would conect to. that way u would have like an air chamber in there. drill little holes in the bottom of it so if water gets in it, the water can drain out.

Re: air duct (POE)
I must be stupid because it seems I'm the only one who did not understand what you said.
Anyways, when the car is in motion the air temps under the hood aren't that different from the air temps outside the car. Radio Shack sells inexpensive digital thermometers with memory to record high/low temps. The few degrees difference won't affect a Civic's power output that much.
