alright im bout to install a y8 intake manifold onto my y7 block. but i dun have the stock intake arm so im just goin to put on a aftermarket intake on. what i wanted to kno is am i suppose to get a ex intake or a dx intake? i kno this is a noob@$$ question therefor imma noob.

 

there both the same dude

d series engine

 

thanks man. thought it might be different since one is vtec and one is not.

 

They are NOT the same. The dx (y7) has the throttle body in a vertical position, whereas the ex(y8) has the tb in a horizontal position. You need the intake for the y8.

CX/DX trim is equipped with a d16y7 in 96-00 so to answer you NO a dx intake will not work.

you need an EX or even an SI one will work.

you can use a DX/CX/LX intake if you buy it for a civic between the years of 88-95
