Does this intake require a tune for my 1996-2000 Honda Civic?

No, this Injen short ram intake is designed to work with your Civic's factory ECU and maintain safe air-fuel ratios without needing an additional tune. You can expect improved airflow and sound right out of the box.

What is the difference between a short ram intake and a cold air intake?

A short ram intake, like this Injen IS1545BLK, typically sits in the engine bay and draws in air that is closer to ambient temperature. A true cold air intake usually routes the filter further away from the engine, often behind the bumper, to capture the coolest possible air. This short ram design prioritizes a more aggressive sound and simpler installation.

How do I maintain the Injen SuperNano-Web air filter?

The SuperNano-Web filter is fully serviceable. You can clean it using a dedicated filter cleaning kit, and it's recommended to re-oil it after cleaning to ensure optimal filtration. Replacement filters are available under part number X-1013-BBT6-6061.

Product Details

If you're looking to wake up your 1996-2000 Honda Civic CX, DX, or LX with the 1.6L engine, this Injen short ram intake is a solid way to go. It replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a smoother, more direct path for air to enter your engine. This means your engine can breathe easier, which often translates to a more responsive feel and a more satisfying sound.

The heart of this system is the mandrel-bent aluminum tubing. Because it's bent using a mandrel, the inside diameter stays consistent throughout the bend, unlike crush-bent tubing which can create restrictions. This smooth path allows for improved airflow. It also comes with Injen's SuperNano-Web dry air filter, which is designed to let in plenty of air while still doing a good job of filtering out dirt. The black powder-coated finish looks sharp under the hood, and the intake is designed to maintain safe air-fuel ratios without needing a tune.

This kit includes everything you need for installation, including the tubing, filter, and hardware. You'll notice a more aggressive engine tone, especially when you step on the gas. Injen backs this intake with a limited lifetime warranty.
