heyy guys im new to the honda world..new to cars in fact but i love cars i just got my 1998 honda civic dx 2door coupe and im wanting to put a cold air intake system in it can someone help me. what is the best cold air intake and set up for a 98 civic dx.

 

Get the cheapest one you can find. It won't do anything anyway.

 

It gives you sound

 

PVC piping

 

^lol

is it a d16y7 motor? Pretty much all the intakes are the same, it's just piping and a filter. The y7 motors have the throttle body on the top so make sure it will fit.

The only difference with the AEM intakes and whatnot is they have the piece that will bolt to the bay to prop up the intake.

I believe the ebay cold airs are around $60, the aem ones are around $130-180

 

....does nothing...the "cold" air does nothing...can hydrolock the motor...wont make the d16y7 look any cooler...or any faster...waste of money...

stock is best

 

Partially true. Try get a y8 head and intake manifold. That should make as lit difference

 

turbo

 

Waste of money and time. Save the cash for an impending timing belt, if needed.

 

Youre better off doing a Y8 intake manifold swap.

Put a SRI on my DX and it's the worst thing I did to it. Although it sounds good.

 

DONT GET A CAI!

The Y7 tends to produce an irritating whistle under load when equipped with a CAI...

The stock airbox/lid/filter have a way of resonating the sound.



A good way to achieve a decent sound without whistle is to simply tape off the tubes that go into the resonator behind the headlight. It will make a decent sound change..

And its completely reversable...

Oh, and free..
