i have an arc induction box and i would like to upgrade my intake manifold to an rbc. i know the stock intake elbow will bend causing decreased air flow, but i was wondering if anyone has tried using an intake elbow off an '07 civic si? it seems like it would work, i just want to make sure...thanks

 

i dunno...do you have a picture of the elbow from the 07?

 

i dont think you can use the oem intake arm off of the new civic because their airbox has a diff configuration..heres a pic.

cant u just use the karcepts adapter?

 

you could..be he's asking how what intake arm he could use so he could keep the arc airbox..

 

I would like to know as well...

 

bump, someone must have this combo

 

samco intake hose? and the obvious suduction pipe?

I don't think that either one of those elbows would work, as they are designed with the stock intake manifold in mind. The rbc moves the throtle body closer and at a different angle than the stock manifold. I'm afraid I'm just gonna have to go custom.

 

haha why are u afraid, custom would be great, please follow up and show me how it looks thanks!

 

so wat is the best intake for the rbc setup...i have an Ep3 so i was told that the Type S intake systems are the best setup...but we'll see...
