DC Sports 1.6L Air Intake

The DC Sports Cold Air Intake is specifically engineered for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic models (DX, LX, CX, HX) equipped with the 1.6L D16 engine. This system replaces the restrictive factory air box and ducting, routing the intake filter into the fender well to draw in colder, denser air. The result is improved engine breathing, leading to increased horsepower and torque gains across the entire RPM range, as well as a more pronounced induction sound. Constructed with mandrel-bent 6061-T6 lightweight aluminum tubing, this intake ensures consistent diameter and optimal flow. It features a reusable, oiled cone air filter designed to capture fine dust particles down to 5 microns, which can be cleaned and re-oiled for continued use. The hard-anodized gunmetal finish on the tube provides resistance to corrosion and road grime, while the multi-ply silicone coupler and stainless steel clamps are built to withstand engine movement and heat without failure. This cold air intake system is 50 State C.A.R.B. Compliant (EO# D-370-13), ensuring it meets emissions standards in California and other states requiring smog checks, allowing you to retain performance gains while passing inspection. The kit includes all necessary brackets, clamps, and clear instructions for installation using basic hand tools.
