2009civic

I'm not new to forums, but I'm new to this one. I have a 2009 civic 5 speed that is completely stock. It is the VP model. Which basically means it doesn't have any bells or whistles. But my reason for making the thread is, I want to find a short ram intake that will fit my car perfectly and make it so I won't have to do any modificactions to the car. I want a louder/deeper sound from my engine. But I don't want a cold air intake. Any suggestions on what I should get?

And do the same intakes fit the Si models along with the regular models?

the most important part of any intake is the filter.

you can get a $20 cheap ebay intake and put a nice filter on it (like an AEM dryflow filter) and it'll be almost as good as the name brand ones.

obviously if you live in california it might be a little different because of the CARB sticker/regulations

go with an AEM intake or a Weapon R secret weapon intake.

Hey, I might not know much about cars, but I sure know tons about car audio haha.

On AEM's website, they only have cold air's for my car.

Will this one work without me doing anything to the car? Also for this one, would I have to buy anything else?

yes it will fit

mac25

i have a k&n. they're a lot of money but damb do they look good and fit like a glove. they come with a well detailed set of DIY instructions. all you will need is a basic ratchet set to install it.

so if k&n says it will fit your car, it will.

if i was going to buy a full system i would get this

ya those are nice and cheaper then the k&n.

2009civic

I bought the K and N

lowlife9

ouch aren't those like $300 dollars ???

2009civic

250.

TFMEX

an ebay pipe and a K&N filter would have been under $100 and given the same results....

2009civic

To each it's own.

I would rather make sure 100% that it's going to fit.

agreed but i also know nothing about 8th gens i havent even seen a bay of one yet lol but my ebay intake fits perfect no mods or anything but there was plenty of room for it idk how crowded the 8th gen bay is

2009civic

It's very crowded.

lowlife9

i hope it comes with the new synthetic filter and not the cotton one that has to be oiled.

2009civic

Is it possible to tell which one it is in the link I posted earlier?

mac25

nice! i'm sure you'll love it.

2009civic

I sure hope so.

lowlife9

it says the replacement number is Part RU-4950 which is Cotton Gauze.

2009civic

So what does that mean

lowlife9

it means you have to oil the filter most newbs will over oil the filter causing sensors to get all gunked up like the mass air flow. the k&n hybrid filter is synthetic and doesn't need oil also its alot easier to maintain and it has better airflow and filtration. the hybrid is made by AEM the same filters they use.

2009civic

How often do you have to oil the filter? How do you oil it?

lowlife9

i don't know i have never owned a K&N filter for this particular reason look on there website all this information is there.
