Cold air intake on HX

Anyone ever installed or know of a cold air intake for a 5speed 2003 HX civic? Can an intake for an ex work?

Thanks for reply's. Vinh, nice car, did you just change out **** on your shifter to make it shorter? Did you notice a decrease in gas mileage to go with extra hp, or increase? Thanks.

that's the revo short shifter with a base rsx oem ****


just invest in top of the line products....well worth it
(i woulda got an EX but my dad came home one day with
an hx suprise so i guess i wuz stuck with it)



man....and if you want suspension....get everything neuspeed

i got the
(1) Neuspeed Front Upper Strut Bar
(2) Neuspeed Lower Cross-Brace
(3) Neuspeed Rear Lower Tie/Sway Bar Combo
(4) Spoon Rear Upper Strut Bar

All total to approximately $800 just for those bars
My regrets are getting Ground Control instead of Full Coilovers

but i swear i can take a 90 degree turn at 30 mph or greater

^^^Nice setup. I already have the front upper strut bar and probably will be getting the other components you have.
Can you tell me what you used for the power windows and do you have any links to that product. Thanks vinh

See, an LX owner will tell you the LX is better, while an HX owner will say the HX is better, so YES, the HX is better...

an HX owner can will have an easier time installing power windows

as would an LX owner installing a vtec feature in their ride

I didn't get the HX because it was a coupe, but that CVT would be nice.
