Okay I've tried finding out how to word it to where it sounds right and makes since but at previous car meet I went to i saw one civic with the civics intake going straight to the front bumper. What are the benefits of it and if there is a name for it please tell me

This is called the "I don't care about filtration and am sucking up dirt and grit into my engine" mod.
Great idea for a dedicated track car.
Awful idea for a street/daily driven car.

There ain't nothing wrong with running a v stack out of the bumper for a daily

But a true v stack does run a filter so there's that. I don't see nothing wrong with running it with no filter just the v stack either. Yeah maybe some bugs and dirt will get in your motor but if you change your oil on time i don't see a problem.

There's also the problem of sucking water into the engine when driving in the rain. Too much water will stall it out, perhaps permanently.

Well common sense would tell you to only run it in the summer. It's up to the owner to use common sense when doing something like this.

Jeremy Dunn

But what would be the benefits? I'm not gonna do it just thought it did a little extra. And Houston is merciless for weather ��

Noisier, slightly faster.

Lol wow

CandyRedRC46

Common sense? Thats ironic...

White_EG1

Who are you? Troll account Lol

yes you should have used common sense before replying I'm not wrong

Chance EG

I don't think that's a troll account... I kinda hope you are.

And yes, you are wrong. V stack with no filter on a daily/street car is an absolutely abhorrent idea, and even running one with a filter just sticking out of the bumper, while functional, would look like complete ***.

White_EG1

I didn't say anything about daily driving without the filter, did you bump your head? V stack out of the headlight looks good you must be blind

too many troll accts lately, i just play aling.

One of two things is happening here.

1: You're an obnoxious troll, in which case your account and/or posting privileges should be suspended

2: You're colossally stupid, in which case all I can do is pity you and anyone unfortunate enough to have to engage with you in person.

White_EG1

You don't see where i said a true v stack comes with a filter, so there's that.???? Your mother must have been smoking various forms of street drugs known as heroin, crack-cocaine, or meth, IMO all 3, when she was carrying you as a baby. Now you have suffered long term, life long effects. It's ok I'm not here to judge you.

And stfu with this troll account **** if anyone is a troll it's op for even making this.

However, a genuine v stack runs a channel so there's that. I don't see nothing amiss with running it with no channel only the v stack either. Better believe it possibly a few bugs and soil will get in your engine however in the event that you change your oil on time i don't see an issue.

Oh my ******* god this topic is making me lose faith in humanity.

The problem is all that **** that gets sucked into the intake goes into the COMBUSTION CHAMBER, and is smashed by the piston. There's no oil even in the combustion chamber, what you and White EG are suggesting is basically like saying, "I keep a small flame smoldering on my front door, but every few hours I splash some water on it. That's ok right?"

That being said, yes the oil will still get contaminated at a faster rate just through whatever gunks up the valves and then makes its way into the cylinder head. God forbid you ever drive behind a truck hauling rocks, or drive through a construction site, or even past someone mowing grass on the side of the road. One well placed pebble, rock, piece of rubber, etc will destroy the engine in half a second. If you really want a velocity stack, do it properly with one that has a filter integrated over the top of it like the ones that Blox makes.

Really would just like to see this topic closed. OP hasn't responded in awhile and this is going nowhere that makes any sense.

CandyRedRC46

Pretty much every time white eg1 posts, faith in humanity plummets....

tony_2018

Plain and simple, nothing beneficial comes from an intake in a bumper. If OP wants to do it sure, go right ahead. Yes, AEM designed one with a bypass filter, well you have to buy the bypass separately. Or you can build your own. Have at it.

Discussion over.

valves crunching grit against the seats isn't a pretty mental picture

No it doesn't look good in the eyes of the law. You need 2 functional headlights to drive on the road

OP don't bother with this mod unless you're going to be doing other engine work.
