it will fit....but make sure you have the same transmission
buy an MT intake if your car is MT

ahh okay thanks. So i gotta buy a EX SRI 5 spd if i want to put it on my LX 5 Spd.
Also. If its the same piping and such, then why do all the retailers sell the LX SRI's for a higher price than the EX's? i think about 10 dollars more? i understand for EX CAI, the piping is different, the EX cai would cost less becuase there is a higher demand for EX's... but since the EX and LX SRI's are the same... shouldnt they price it the same? or do the retailers benefit from our ignorance?

Oh and one more question. Do i really have to get a manual 5 spd specified SRI? i thought the piping autos and manuals for SRI were the same?

I don't think there's a difference between SRI's for AT and MT. The reason there's a difference for CAI's is because the transmission gets in the way. But for SRI's I would assume that it's all the same cuz there's nothing to get in the way up at the top of the engine bay.

But I'm not positive.

I'm not tryin to bag on anyone, but I've noticed QUITE a few intake threads that cover something about ... lx MT tryin to fit an ex AT ... and others similar to that ...

question ...

what's wrong with getting the intake that's MADE for your civic trim? I mean why get an EX intake if you have an LX?

I know what you're saying Aznboysfr. I know this makes absolute sense. But i was just wondering if all the piping for the EX and LX SRI's are the same. I mean, most people say that they fit both cars, and that it works the same. But what gets me is why retailers/ manufacturers sell the LX SRI's for 10-15 dollars more (if they're the SRI's have the same pipings for LX and EX's). Now im not absolutely sure about the piping, but if they're the same, the retailers are ripping the LX people off, when the LX people could just have bought the same exact thing that is labeled "EX"

you know what i mean?
