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.

Re: Stupid Intake Mistake!

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.

Re: Stupid Intake Mistake!

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!

Re: Stupid Intake Mistake!

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.....

Re: Stupid Intake Mistake!

Ah yes, I see the issue now. I got a refund for the EX one, and picked up an LX intake. Thanks for the clarification, guys!
