hey guys, i have a 1999 civic dx, i want to buy an intake for it from ebay, but they dont sell any for dx atm, do you think if i buy an ex intake will that make a difference or is the engine the same?

 

it doesnt matter if its for a manual or auto.

Do you have the d16y7 or d16y8?

 

i think the dx comes with the y7. The y8 intake will not be able to fit on the y7 intake manifold. you need one for a d16y7. unless you change out the intake manifold.

 

The throttle body is on the top of the manifold with the DX (D16Y7), and faces out towards the right side of the car (passenger side) with the EX (D16Y8). So you need one specifically for the '96-'00 CX/DX/LX,

 

Do you think you can find me some cheap cold air intakes somewhere cuz there are none on ebay at the moment and i am planning on buying one soon.

 

If you have a Y7 manifold a cold air is a waste. The d16y7 doesn't really respond to bolt-ons. the manifold doesn't breathe well so it's a waste of money. I have a stock airbox for the y7 if you're interested.

 

just chill. take your time. theres intakes out there lol.

auto or manual doesnt matter, just look up one for the dx/lx trims.

 

lol i never said anything about auto or manual why do u keep bringing that up, i know that doesnt affect the intake...

 

If you have a dx, you will need an intake with like a 100 degree bend to go down into the manifold. since it flows so poorly, a cold air intake barely cools the incoming air and so there is practically no power gain. The only difference you will notice is the sound it makes, which isn't bad actually, that and it will bog down when you floor it.
