Well before you decide anything, you should take a look at this:
Click Me
Also check the product review section for your generation civic for other brands such as AEM, Injen, K&N etc. See how people rated them in terms of difficulity to install, product satisfication, and whatever that applies.

I heard the edelbrock intake manifold is better than the skunk2 but that was for a d16y8. You should expect good gains. I read on here on a thread that just on a d16y8 he got an extra 10hp and 5ft lbs tq. with I/H/E. And d series don't respond aswell to bolt ons so I would say yours would benefit.
I would uprage the throttle body aswell if you get that. I dunno if yours is 65mm or 68mm, prolly 68 since it's an si. But check into that cause if you get one with too big a hole than you'll loose power instead of gain.

RE: Should I get a Skunk2 Intake Manifold
the elderbrock is a monster in size, its huge. Persoanlly i would go with a dif intake mani but ive seen alot of people having problems get the car to idle right so make sure you get or make a custom bracket so that the cars throttle cable will be set to idle right. But it comes down to preference and name on the two
