i need some help. i have a 2005 honda civic vp at trans. Well i am dumb and want to put a cold air intake on it, come on gotta liven up the under hood some how. but anybody know what one would fit, ive been checking into aem and they said it came up special order. But i heard that its the same as an 04 dx, and the only difference is in the ac. i have looked at fenders which are stated to be 01-up but whats the deal with ground effects only going from 01-03, would those fit? BTW i ordered carbon fiber mirrors, with the led turn signals in them, they were for a 2004 four door, body style looks the same to me. and they were only 35 bucks, so i hope they fit. if anybody can help this newbie out id really appreciate it.

They will fit. CAI is only for 5 speed. SRI works on either one.

im guessing the vp is between dx/lx? sorry to hijack thread = )....

yea all the SRIs/ebay intakes will fit on any model/tranny ... but you need some sort of heat shielding to lot lose power

whats the difference, about the cai? only being for a 5 speed? im a lil dumb, and whats SRI, know anything about teh ground effects, around what years i can use.

np with hijackin the thread. yeah your right the vp is between the dx, and the lx, the one that does not have the option to get a stickshift.

SRI?? ok im still dumb on that one, and i am imagining the heat shielding is because of the metal pipe heating up, so close to the engine?? heck ill be happy going to a 2-3" hole to let air in rather than my hole i have right now which is about 1"-1.5"

I have been recently looking and I believe Injen has a CAI for automatics. I think the race series is a CAI. SRI (Short Ram Intake) I believe. Has short pipe and filter sits inside the engine bay. Picks up alot more heat than CAI that sit farther out.

do thos really work? btw i seen some that are pretty cheap with carbon fiber on ebay, do they really help out in cornering etc, and how hard are they to put in

 
Rep Power: 338

b/c the automatic transmission is larger than the manual transmission. not enough space. take note, AEM cold air intake lists their intake as 5 speed only! not some e-bay company... so be careful.

it wont do much unless you have other things to work with it, stiffer springs, lower X-brace... etc. but it's real easy to put in.... a better choice is a sway bar in the back, that modification, if you ask anyone, actually works.

theres the cai i saw

I dont know if thats a change for 05 BUT I know that the 04 VP has MT. Granted I looked at about 6 dealers before I found one. Oh and for clarification the VP is a DX with air & a cd player.

stay away from ebay. rear strut tower bar does nothing. front strut tower bar is noticeable. rsx-s rear anti-sway bar is even more noticeable (especially if you have stokc suspension...mmm oversteer).

Injen makes a cai for autos.

My girlfriends 2004 VP is an auto but yea it just has A/C and CD player. NOt much different from 01-03 except the front end (bumper, fenders, lights, etc.)
