You would pull all of the stock intake boxs and tubing off.

What he said. You will need to remove all of the OEM intake piping and filter box.

And by the way, I dont think HTML works here.

 

did the pic show and do any one have a link where i can get the Filter kit?

 

Check out aem to see if they have an intake for your car. Also try ebay.

 

I might sound like a dick but:

Why do you want to put an intake in a single cam - 4 door -automatic ?

AEM has it for your car !!

 

CAn this fit???
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...S%3A1

 

Yes.

 

so it fit?

 

yeah it fits, is made for that...take all that plastic off

 

AEM is the only company I know of that makes a y7 intake.

Check ebay for dx civic and you'll see lots of y7 intakes, just most don't have the mounting bracket like the AEM.

 

Is this really something you want to do? You're not even going to notice it. Besides, I wouldn't spend less than $70 for a new intake. When you go that cheap for something that retails name brand for $200 you're looking at getting stiffed, cheap parts, poor quality, and less performance.

I know you're new here and I try to break people in nicely. If you spend $1500 on all the intake, header, intake mani, and catback exhaust, any $800 turbo'd civic will leave you in the dust. It's your money and your car, spend it however you want. I just recommend getting power per dollar. Not Fast and the furious.

No one get's performance out of a Honda with an Automatic. What are you looking for? cool engine sound? Show? Bass? Speed? sleeper? Tell us what you're trying to do. That way we can better help to analyze what you want, save you trouble, time, and money. Cheers.

 

god i hate how ugly those stupid ****** airboxes are lol

 

there isnt really a big performance gain with an intake besides sound.

i can't say if ebay intakes are good or not since i dont have one but its probably not that off from a aem intake.

its your money, and if you feel that its worth $200 then get the aem if not, get the cheap ebay one.

 

buy the ebay one...your going to get more satisfaction out of the deep sound then you are going to get out of the &gt;1 Horsepower gain.

 

Yurp, i have an ebay one on the way. Was 35 including s/h.

 

i was going to get a cheap ebay one and just leave it but i ended up getting a D16y8 intake mani so now im just gona get the whale *****!!
