hi, im here to get some reviews on what kind of intake is good for a 99-2000 civic si?. i got one but im thinking of looking for another different one to c if theres any good words on different ones.. any ideas or experience on which one is the best for a honda civic 99-00 si?

Stock with a K&N filter or a 3" tube with a velocity stack. You could have did a search and found that out.

go to passwordjdm.com and buy a whale ***** for like 300 u noticed big power(sarcasm) lmfao

The three options I would consider:

• Stock with K&N square filter (cheap, clean + benefits of improved/washable filter)
• 3" Short Ram Intake with Velocity Stack + large mouth filter (to go over vstack)
• Cold Air Intake (with filter inside wheel well/under passenger headlight)

Based on my understanding, the last two options will yield the most improvement in power. The 2nd option seems to be the preferred solution nowadays, although length of pipe apparently makes a tangible difference. The 3rd option was the preferred one for several years, it is still very common and valid, but might not make as much power as a well designed SRI with VStack. Also, install is a bit more involved, but nothing you can't handle.

Good luck.

Dioxine

That is a pretty good sum up, However we refer to the 3rd option here as a "water trap". If it rains hard and often where you live this is defiantly not a good route to choose. Very easy to suck water up into the motor and hydo-lock.

just do the 3 inch pipe witha velcoity stack with a mesh over the stack

full cold air intake is useless and causes problems

i would just stay stock cause it looks clean

IMO IME a good CAI is hard to beat, like AEM or Injen.

Overpriced garbage for what you pay and what you get out of them.

Wrona

everyone thinks that AEM or INJEN are the best sh*t out there because of all the super street and those magazines

I stopped reading Super Street and the rest of them back in the 90s.

I'll always recommend K&N. Good stuff.

AEM/K&N filter with a generic 3" tube is the best i've found...i haven't tried a velocity stack yet just because i don't really feel comfortable driving in our dusty city with one. CAI's haven't shown enough HP gain to make me drop the $$$ on the extra tubing to build one.

If you want an intake just get a aem short ram for like 100 bucks and call it a day, some say cheap ebay, but you want to make sure you still have the proper vacuum lines connected etc.

CAI have been tested and are a waste of money, time and time again, the short rams produce the same if not a slight increase in HP. Plus you can suck water in, I know AEM makes filter for this but just a waste of money.

The line from the valve cover, if that's what you're talking about, is the first thing to come off. Ran like that for years. No negative effects. Spending $100 on a tube is pretty stupid.

sfar785

^^^yup, i put a breather filter on mine and haven't had any negative effects...ever.

motegicivic

Or like other said ebay route, but get a decent brand filter.

Steezer

ebay short ram intake, under 30 bucks.

Then stick a velocity stack on it.

hmonguy918

i never heard of velocity stack yet. hmmm thanks for the info. guess im gona have to check it out. hmmmm... maybe i should look for some more reviews.

ed rex

whale ***** for the win

Wrona

lol bandwaggoner and doesn't even know facts

nealnanoHX

Well I have a $50 Ebay CAI that fits great and made power but I did not want to get knocked for it. Oh I have a Dry Flow filter on it.

justin711c

hey man i have an AEM cold air intake on my 2000 civic si and i can tell you that it sounds pretty awesome(as far as a 4 cylinder econoboxes can sound at least). i bought the car with it and you can really hear the different when you hit the pedal. havent been in a stock one before but its definitely a noticeable difference in the sound.

as far as power goes... if you have a d-series your SOL.
hope i dont get flamed for that

justin711c

if you can find a whale ***** for a decent price on kijiji or off someone on this site i would probably just go for that though

Wrona

waste of money has no power gain on the dyno nor nothing noticeable seems legit to me seriously all these fanboys need to just stop

Best bang for his buck is a 3 inch pipe with a velcoity stack hands down
