K&N 00-04 Honda Civic Si/Type R Wrinkle Red Typhoon Short Ram Intake

K&N Engineering is well-known for making performance air filters and intake systems that help engines breathe better. This Typhoon short ram intake system is built to replace the restrictive factory air filter and housing on your 2002-2006 Acura RSX Type-S or 2002-2005 Honda Civic Si. By smoothing and straightening the airflow, it allows your engine to take in more air, which translates to more usable power and better acceleration across the entire RPM range.

The intake tube itself is made from mandrel-bent aluminum and finished with a textured red powder coat that's built to last. It's designed to work with your factory air temperature sensor, crank case vent hose, and idle air bypass control thermal valve vent hose, making installation more straightforward. The oversized, cone-shaped K&N high-flow air filter is a key part of this system; it can go up to 100,000 miles before needing service, depending on your driving conditions. This setup is designed to deliver a noticeable power gain directly to your throttle body.

Installation is generally straightforward and can often be completed in 90 minutes or less. Remember to check the specific CARB status for your vehicle and region, as some K&N intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states with similar emissions standards.
