Stupid Intake Mistake!

So not realizing I had an LX model Civic, I bought a short ram intake for an EX model Civic. Will this still work with my LX or will I have to buy a new kit? The year of my car is 1996.

Once you get into the Si with the B series engine is when it gets different. It should fit, though I'm not 100% sure.

Alright, thanks guys. When it arrives, I will try and see if it fits. I will post up on here if it works!

If anyone knows for certain though if the intake will work or not, post up, please!

It won't be a direct fit. The DX/LX has a D16Y7 which has a vertical intake manifold opening.

Here is the D16Y8 for reference:

Re: Stupid Intake Mistake!

Im getting an Injen in tomorrow, I made sure that it was the EX. And it would be different because on the website I ordered it from, it had "fits all except LX" so, yeah.....
