Im looking around to get a air intake for my 2001 honda civic i saw name brand one such as K and N and etc or save some cash and get the one you fine on ebay let me know and whats best to do..

 

Don't do it, save your money.

If you haven't done anything else that can increase airflow, you won't see any benefit.

 

all they do is make sound these cars do not benefit from bolt on's sadly

 

I wasn't sure if i sound get it or now i just love that sound 2 it damn ok...i heard the fallout of it tho

 

i installed a ractive short ram intake on my 04 civic lx and since then it has been using oil. the engine isnt burning it, it is coming out of the valve cover breather. has anyone ever ran into this?

 

odd one has the valve cover been change before?Maybe its already burn out and need a new one...

 

Yea man sadly i agree with them. If you get an HP its almost hardly noticeable. I just bought a $30 ebay one to make a better sound and called it a day.

 

Sounds like you have alot of blowby do a compression test.


And to the op you gain no benefit's other then looks and sound. Take this from someone who didn't listen to the people on here I wasted my money on one you don't gain a thing. If you are really hell bent on getting one go by a cheap Ebay one and throw the filter away and buy a K&N or AEM dryflow.

Also take a look at this before you post it's very helpful.

DOn't feel discouraged, if you want the intake go get it, but don't bother on expensive ones, the ebay one is fine. Like the rest said it won't do much but it does help with sound.

Ya ebay filters suck but don't bother on buying a AEM or K&N filter, thats a whole nother 40-50 bucks that won't do you any good.

 

Got my AEM filter yesterday for the SRI kit which I got used, needs to be repainted. I do plan on doing more mods to my car as parts fail. You can simply get a K&N drop in filter from Autozone for $50 and call it a day.

 

50 bucks on a filter isn't even worth it imo.

 

if you intend to keep the civic for a long time, yes.

 

The ebay intake filters are junk. That's why people buy a name brand filter for it. Ebay intake + good filter = half the price of a name brand intake.


The K&N drop-in filters are nice because they're reusable, and they also work better. Over the lifetime of that filter, you'll spend more on replacement "OEM-style" filters from Schucks. (or wherever)

 

lol u guys are funny im looking on ebay for one now anyone has any good links? 2001 Honda civic lx 2 door here auto

 

I got lucky when I bought my SSM EM2. They guy that owned it before me installed what looks to be an ebay CAI, 2 1/4" full exh w/ ebay fart can, slotted rotors, SS kit on shifter, 17" enkei rims and a list of other parts. $5500 for a fairly pristine 03' EM2 EX.

 

Compression is good... It doesnt make sense to me it's like the increased air flow is creating a vacuum in the breather.

 

I just picked this one up off of ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...Q5fAccessories

its pretty decent for 48$ with free shipping!
