I need to get a new intake because the one on it was pretty getto so i was hoping someone could throw some suggestions my way. Im trying to spend 60$ max and ive looked threw ebay but i have no idea which ones are good and which are crap. I use my car just to go to work and school so i just want one thats efficient and not gona crap out. Any help would be great thanks

 

Pick one. Makes no difference.

 

Could i just get a cheap pipe and throw a good filter on it?

 

Yup... They all are pretty much the same

 

k&n filter is what i recommend, from what i heard, they're the brains behind AEM too supposedly..

 

cool thanks for the responses guys. also my 92 has a d16 swap so am i looking for one compatible with my engine or my car year?

 

bump

 

It's a D-series no matter what the year. Do some Ebay window shopping.

 

^^ Actually, the VX one is a smaller diameter but all the rest are the same.

OP can get an original from the j-yard. Makes no difference except for no bling.

 

Gotcha. But if you slap on a cheapie pipe off of Ebay and just since the clamp down on the coupler he should be fine. If it's that much of a difference he could probably run an adpapter.

 

VX and CX in the US market both have the tiny throttle body. As "grumblemarc" suggested, the easiest way is to go to home depot and find a 2in to 3in reducer/coupler for plumbing and use that as an adapter. For the OP it doesn't sound like he/she will need to do this if that D16 swap has the correct manifold and throttle body combo.

 

thanks for tha suggestion grumblemarc. still learing about good parts and what fit whats thanks for all the responses guys. i was thinking about getting this one what do yall think?

I can personally vouch that K&N are generally the best quality, but it really doesn't matter. Especially on a civic. An intake is an intake. Now with forced induction, you would want a higher quality filter.
