Intakes always make the car sound better 👍 good video
Thanks man 😅
But not always work better
@@williamdignard9915 why do air intakes decreases the car performance?
@@joji5912 no
@@joji5912 it adds horsepower
Just from your drive video, I guessed its Virginia, Then saw your plates, I love Virginia. Nice video on intake.
lol yeah, thanks 🙃
I have the same setup. I cut a 2-1/2” hole in the bottom of the heat shield to access the transmission dipstick otherwise you have to take it all out to check and fill. I also bought the K&N filter wrap for the filter to help keep bugs out of the grooves. 100k miles on the intake and still holding up just fine. I’ve cleaned it a couple times just because lol. You will get around 1-2 mpg better on gas with it too.
Nice, I got in an accident with this car and got a V6 Accord, I plan on doing a similar setup on that so I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks (:
Hang on to that V6 accord lol. They don’t make them anymore! I’d like a Honda HSV-10 myself but Honda never produced them... made the lame nsx instead.. here’s a clip of the hsv-10 if you’ve never heard of it. Amazing car. 20,000 rpm

Daniel Driver it would sound much better
do y’all know if it’s normal for my intake to shake when idling? or how do i know if it’s shaking too much ?
RattlingLalo I don’t think it’s normal, check and make sure everything is fastened in there properly
That's bad ass bro I think I might do that to my car as well. Thanks
I recommend it!
That sounds super tuff! Stock exhaust setup?
Looking into getting a short ram for my 08 sedan, and from what I can see it's definitely worth it to save up for the K&N instead of some cheap brand like Spectre
Thanks 🙏🏼 and yeah the exhaust was stock
does the typhoon intake system have a place to plug in the maf sensor? or did you remove yours completely? Thanks in advance. :)
I removed mine completely
@@ShiftShow. and no check engine light?
@@ShiftShow. how did you go about removing it?
@@nathanthompson4289 he didint get a check engine light
there's one on my 9th gen accord and it makes a huge difference at high rpms, really starts to help around the vtec crossover (like 4.5k rpms)
Good job
Thanks! 😅
So...now you're getting hot air from under the hood. Sounds badass though lol.
Sounds good but I hear intakes on r18s without ecu reflash can actually make you lose power. Not sure if true.
They do. Any civic that has the r18 is very picky on what you install on it. It likes oem parts and some aftermarket depending on part. Most things different or wrong gets picked up by the computer so easily that it turns on the cel light or goes into limp mode. I know bc I drive it lol. Other than that it's the most reliable car for the age and still gets 38mpg on the highway. I'd be shocked if this didn't turn on the cel from the extra air and warmer air at that. In my opinion from being a mechanic and working for honda engine plant in the rebuild department, the only time it's worth installing a cold air intake is if you have a turbo you installed or you're upgrading the exciting turbo or doing certain tunes. If you don't tune them for the extra air or have the need the pcu just adds more fuel to compensate for the extra air but nothing else is tuned to accept the extra air/fuel mixture making it run lean rather than more power. The air boxes that come with them are designed specific to the tune and runs best with that box. I try telling guys all the time, especially the teens, or you g RUclips mechics lol but they'll argue their opinion to the death even if you show proof. It's so easy but they know it all. You slap any engine performance part on what's the second thing you have to do after a turbo or cam or valve or air or fuel pump upgrade etc. You tune it so the car recognizes it all runs right. We don't just slap it on and go. 😅 sorry long reply I had just seen about a dozen boys arguing this while its on a neon or Saturn lol. Great engine tho I still use a 06 as my daily work vehicle same fuel mileage and less sensors than a 2023 model and my muscle sits in the garage till its dry out and gets its new cam upgrade
I wish I had mine…. My K&N cold air intake ruined my Mas airflow sensor… 😒
Nice 💥💪🏾
Hey there, planning to do the same with my standard 2009 civic. Would I need a tune when I install an intake?
Nope, I didn’t have one and the car ran fine
It’s recommended to do a tune or your car will run rich.
@@MooseBeCanadian I am in the same boat ! getting the CAI ..but dont want to spend on an EMU for tune :(
@@lowresolution1 you should be fine without a tune disconnect the battery when installing and let the car idle for about 10 minutes after the install and the ecu should somewhat relearn itself.
A tune is recommended but not exactly needed. It might throw a code without a tune though.
@@MooseBeCanadian your the goat 🐐
Hey does it come with installation instructions?
Yeah 😁
Can you hear your Intake runners kick in around where vtec would be?
Yeahh
Hey did you feel any changes? If so, what?
It makes the car sound a lot better in my opinion and there’s a TINY increase in power in the higher RPMs, but other than that not really 😂
I got a short air intake on 2008 civic LX coupe would like to go back to stock..
For?
How did it held up any lights or any problems?
nope, all good
i thought the K and N typhoon was an enclosed system?that's an open cone filter from K and N.....
What about gas miles still the same or less I have 06 coupe. I want to to the same
The gas mileage was about the same
Does the R series engine need a tune after install ?
Nope.
Where did you get the intake from?
Ebay !
The K&N website 😜
Where you bought the kit ?
The K&N website
Do i hear a high pitch sound at 0:13? it sound like a turbo charger
I wish lol. Nope, this car wasn’t boosted 🙃
@@ShiftShow. I compare the before and after, I notice the high pitch on the first one. Anyway, great video! it did really convince me to buy air intake. btw I sub to your channel. more content for you!
@@KcArmada thank you 😊 🙏🏼
its probably the rpm gauge hands... it happens to my car too😅
@@KcArmada VTECH ‼️
my 8th Gen does this too
Noticed any power difference?
I noticed a (very) small difference in the higher RPMs but other than that not really. The main difference was that it made the car sound a lot better in my opinion
Are short ram any better?
Not sure
the long one take water so i would say yes
Did your check engine light came on after installation?
Nope
Which air intake did you buy bro?
K&N Typhoon 😅
Does it turns the check engine light?? just curious
It didn’t for me
it shouldn't as long as you plug your MAF back in
If it does then just unplug the negative battery cable and should reset it.
If it does, it means your KAM has noticed a change of above 20% in one of it's parameters (in this case air), resetting it via tuner/scanner, or unplugging the negative lead and positive on the battery and clicking them together (or unplugging negative for about 5 hours) will fix it by making it's memory learn on the new intake. You should do this anyways tbh when installing an intake in general, light or not. You want it to fully relearn how much air it truly gulps.
@@AzalofForossa Can i unplug the negative while the car is off ? That way i can just unplug negative and leave it like that all night then plug it back in in the morning . Or does the car has to be on for 5 hours while it resets ?
I’m debating getting this or just their k&n drop in filter not sure yet
This one was well worth the extra money in my opinion 🙃
@@ShiftShow. did the check engine light ever came in at anytime?
Nope
drop in is worth it if you have stock internals.
@@keneilbryan1617 as long as he didn’t remove any sensors it will not come on
The welds on mine look like a 6 year old made them. K&N has a lot of balls charging $350 for this low wage weld job.
I may send it back, actually.
Just went to the junk yard and found one for 15 bucks couldn't pass on that
Nice! 👍🏼
Did you get a check engine ?
Nope 🤗
Daniel Driver mines did. Do I need a tune?
You shouldn’t need one.
Daniel Driver I’ll get it checked tomorrow by my auto shop. I’ll update how it goes.
Daniel Driver Got it fixed today with a tuneup. Installed a new exhaust as well. Car runs amazing!
I love kn but that sounded poor when he reeved it up in park
This reminds me of back in highschool when we thought just having a cold air intake, full exhaust and headers was it just to get older and learn that it's a waist of money if your motor isn't souped up.
Right
These might work up north, but it gets so hot in Texas in summer, they do noting for performance. There is no cold air!...lol. Waste of money.
I live in Virginia and it barely did anything here 😂 made the car sound better though so there’s that I guess.
I'm living in the Vietnam, could you ship for me 1 set, I want to buy 1 set push for civic 2013 gen 9 now, thanks you and waiting for you reply
Ebay
Better off just leaving the stock intake and get a k a n filter. You actually see 3 hp result's and gas milage with those and still sound cool . Your sucking in hot air from the engine now lol . pretty much just made the car slower .not being a dick because I did it with my last car but realized it's a waste of 60$
THERE is a huge cold feed pipe that you cannot see on them coming through the wheel well from the fron bar
Auto?
Yep lol
@@ShiftShow. sounds good, how long did it take to install it?
@@ChefValdez about an hour and a half
@@ShiftShow. good to know, thanks. Cheers
Puro aire caliente esa es mejora.. nop
also?waste of money without other mods like exhaust.............maybe get 1/2 hp if lucky with this alone.....
Jajajajajajajsjsjsjsjsjajajajajajajajajsjajajaja
Don't do it dude. Those filters ruin your engine
I crashed the car and ruined the engine before the filter even had the chance
@@ShiftShow. rip 😔
let the sound be, I know better ones
If you want a slower car, reduced engine life, reduced mpg, and to waste time and money this video is PERFECT. well done.
And if your gonna do all that and not tune it you MIGHT AS WELL try to fabricate some sort of little heat shield for it.
Very true. A mechanic told me years ago, K&N filters let in tons of dirt into the engine due to the tiny microscopic HOLES in them. A Honda I had a few years ago, the transmission wouldn't shift right, sluggish performance. I removed the "engine destroyer" K&N, went back to a stock filter, and it ran like a race car again! I also had piece of mind knowing I wasn't destroying the engine.
@@tonyrogers1923 Been running k&N on all my dailys and drift cars for near 3 decades NEVER a problem !
@@proximitybeejay3673 me too sir. Use open filter for daily civic 10 years, now use honda fit 4 years with k&n replacement never have a issues.
Damn why are hating so much? Post a video then, of your own shit!
This doesn't help the car in nothing 😂 from cold air to hot air 😂 ricers
I'm aware of that, thanks 😂
🤦🏻♂️ sorry but after watching this video after your 2 yrs , it still sounds week !!!
Yeah 😂 but it’s a civic so I’m not really sure what you expected 😂
