i have a 2004 honda civic and want to get an air intake for it, but most of the ones i have come across are specifically for manual. do they not make one for auto or will the manual fit? also is short ram another option? i have a 2004 honda civic lx automatic tranny. thanks
The short air intake will suck hot engine compartment air. The long air intake will suck water and hydrolock the motor which bends connecting rods. I would just leave the stock air filter in the vehicle. It is already designed with a cold air intake and all you need to do to replace it is unscrew a few screws. An after market air intake will not be needed unless you have different radical cams and larger fuel injectors with a high output fuel pump. To clean an after market filter such as KN it takes 4 hours to clean, dry properly, and oil the filter. You also run the risk of the filter oil getting on the MAF sensor and ruining it. I'd rather save the money for gas and drive those 4 hours, not sit there waiting for a filter to dry. You won't feel any difference in performance!
If you want the right thing for that Honda, you must be able to find the right stuff on stores that specialize to sell tuner aftermarket parts for Honda. Honda is one of the favorite cars to tune and if you go to the right place for parts, you must find'em. Few good places to start on line are: JC Whitney or Summit Performance. Some of the kits require to do slight modifications to make'em fit right. A good cold air intake kit will add more HP, torque plus will keep the engine running cooler at lower temperatures. Good luck.!
it just a aluman tube ana kn filter i cant see a diferance if stick or aoto it might work better with a stick because you can rve motor up then dump clutch . if bolt up use it if it says on box or ontalion instuction for stick only well dont yse. that one. their ones in aoto zone i seen that would bolt up
