DC Sports DAC Intake

I looked in the 'Parts' section it's there but at the site they don't sell it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] Is this out now? I checked the DC Sports site and it says in their application "2001-2002 Civic". Will this fit an DX/LX? I also checked some other online sites too, unfortunaetly I did not find them selling it for a 2001+ Civic.

I'm sure its for sell somewhere.

they're kinda cheapy though. dont get 'em.

u'll find that stock works better compare to any aftermarket short ram.

except for maybe the K&N FIPK.

It's ironic how it came out a long tyme ago and now, I find no one selling them. Just out of curiousity, how are they cheapy?

to answer your question on "will it fit"... according to DC SPORTS, no. i think the mounting bracket for this intake may somehow use the vtec control box perhaps as a mounting location. not postitive at all on this but because of that suttle difference in the engine bay.....this seems to make a world of difference in some aftermarket intake products. it seems to be all about what to screw it down to.

I wouldn't buy it for the price that they are selling it for. Come on, they put the DAC, header, and TCS on their project car and got a whopping 5 ponies. Kind of pricey for the ~$1200 retail for all that stuff if you ask me...

i think MOKUSHI's point is good, however, it stands for pretty much all aftermarket parts for our cars, with the exception of a few products, such as HP header, NX kit, and TURBO. all other boltons are good for nothing but a few ponies. so if we're gonna point any fingers at useless parts by companies, dont just blame DC, blame everyone else, especially HONDA!!!

I'm not flaming, but it was only 5. I remember this really well because my good friend who owns a shop had a hard time selling dc stuff for 2k1's because of this...

Look here for 5hp gain... 3rd paragraph from the bottom.
