i recommend AEM for intake. I have their short ram intake and it's great. Get an AEM cold air intake with their "Dryflow" filter. Or you could get the AEM V2. I've heard it's amazing.

you just need to look for one that corresponds to the year of your vehicle.

what year is your civic?

the fact that it's designed for the 1.6L might not matter... i had a civic with a 1.5L engine and i used the 1.6L version intake no problem. It all depends on the following:

As long as your throttle body is in the same spot as the 1.6L's throttle body and the engine bay has the same contours and shape it should work.

does your throttle body have that opening pointing up, or to the left while looking at the engine?

alright, so you need the same intake that a 96-00 USDM LX, DX, or CX would use. like this.
