i don't get the point in lying to people that you do business with... especially using other company names in products that they don't even manufacture... case in point... K&N engineering has not made an intake kit for our civics yet... fake k&n intake kit

i don't even think it fits our cars. i bet it's homemade. it's probably expensive since it has a K&N cone filter

If you read the ad carefully you can see that they mention K&N because:



<< This Kit includes a Real K&N Cone Air Filter. >>



No need to be afraid to buy anything from the net. Just make sure that you buy from reputable salesmen. Ask around to make sure that you're going to buy from someone without a bad reputation. I haven't had a bad experience yet and everything that I have bought has bean off of the net.

it's obviously fake however... note how it attaches to the throttle body in the pic.... horizontally! Our throttle bodies run VERTICALLY! Buyers beware, it will NOT work on a 2001-2002.

PS. and by the way, EVERYTHING for my car I have purchased off of the net. Just be sure you know what you're buying, make sure you pay by credit card so that you have fraud protection, and make sure you're getting a receipt and some sort of warrantee.

this is for the 2001 civic. The seller just probably did not assemble the CAI completely..look at the pic:

I know its not a K&N Kit...but it is for the 2k1



A - is where you connect the intake to the throttle body
B - b is where you connect the lower tube ( c )
C - where you connect the primary tube to ( b)
D - where you connect the air filer...

put it on eBay and sell it like the guy who sold it to you. Copy and paste his wording for the auction....obviously re word it in places and try to get most of your money back!
