Question:

hot air intake 2002 honda civic?

ok i have a 2002 honda civic someone the other day said i should put a hot air intake in my honda because i will get alot better gas milage it doesnt sound like such a bad idea but i have to make my own hot air intake or something anyway how do i do that and is it a wast of time and will it mess up my engine thanks

Answer:

lol hmmmm if anything its a CAI (cold air intake) you will get more horsepower and yes you will get better gas mileage but no it wont mess up your engine
The standard intake is a cold air intake with preheat - the best of both worlds. Aftermarket cold air intakes do not have preheat so they reduce fuel economy, hot air intakes do not include preheat either (they are only hot after the engine is warmed up) so they are the worst of both worlds. The engineering cost for a car model is typically about half a billion dollars. why people think a $100 aftermarket intake will be better than the one that came on it stock is beyond me.
if you live in a fairly mild city with not to much rain i suggest putting a cold air intake.
