It will work, but you'll loose 10 hp and 15 ft/lbs of torque.

****..that's about what the bypass valve did for me. Feel free to turn it into a shortram though.

The same type of hose and clamps that you use to hold the intake to the throttle body.

 

ok, do you tink its a good idea or will it somehow rob power?

 

Naw, nothing noticeable. A lot of the older systems were 2 piece. Personally, I would make sure the 2 pieces fit together flush, with the rubber hose and clamps there to secure them.

 

half of an aem cai on my y7

 

intersting, i actually have an itr not a civic but was wondering the same.

 

ok thnx u guys, so i guess i'll just chop it this winter and then just use the rubber and hose clamps to hold it togather in the summer. . . . .
