i have a honda civic 2000 ex. i bought a cold air intake for it. i didnt install it yet but i was looking over it. the stock air intake has about three wires connected to it. But when i look at the new cai, it has only two holes.one that sticks out a little and one that is enclosed with rubber. im pretty sure the cai is for my car. am i supposed to connect only two? and which two? thanks
Take it back to the store, and never buy it again. On a 2000 Civic EX, an aftermarket cold air intake will provide only 1-2 horsepower at peak rpm. 5500 rpm to redline. Ask yourself really quick, how often you keep the car in that range. In the lower range, which is when you're accelerating, it has been dyno proven to provide -1 to 0 horsepower. That's right, it will actually cause you to lose horsepower. Doesn't matter what brand, they're all about the same. And keep in mind, you didn't buy a cold air intake for the car. It HAS a cold air intake already. You just bought a different variety. Go look at the engine. Intake leads away from the hot air of the engine, to the cold air near the bumper. Cold air intake.
