1999 Honda Intake
 

I was looking through the site, and some of the pictures that have been linked for the AEM intake no longer work, I've also looked around on youtube, and i cant find a sound clip.

My friend has a 1997 i accidentally put 1999 Honda with a little bit over 100k do you guys recommend he get the intake, or is it pushing it at that mileage, and does anyone have a sound clip.

Don't worry about sound so much. It's not like it adds some type of ROARING sound, just a slightly louder hum when you accelerate.
And, 100k isn't that much either, I mean come on, it's a Honda!
As long as your friend treats her right, regular maintanence, proper interval replacements, etc. you can get her to last 200k plus

cold air intakes dont do anything...

Well croninc, where is your proof? You've claimed alot that CAIs don't do anything, but you've never shown any proof.

Thanks for the reply, I'm really not worried about the noise, i have one on my Altima and it roars after 3k. Is there any known issues after installing an WAI on a 1999 Honda Civic LX, any maf issues?

I don't remember ever mentioning a CAI, there are gains with either a CAI or WAI even though minimal there is gain.

I'm very happy with my AEM V2 intake for my 99 DX, though it cost a bunch ($300). It made a difference in the way the motor sounds, and goes well with modified exhaust. I did feel a slight increase in power in the mid RPM range. I should know, since I've been driving this car since it was new! Exactly how much is power you gain is difficult to say, probably just a few hp. My motor has 121K on it, btw. It was a fun project putting the V2 on since I had to swap a motor mount and trim away at some of the molding in front of the right front wheel. It doesn't look like the intake in your picture will be quite that involved, though (and probably less expensive). I say, "go for it."

Thanks for the reply I'm going to push my friend so he buys this tomorrow lol, he already has an account here i just can't remember his ID, I'll have him post pics soon.

Thanks again for your input.

for a civic, 100,000 isn't that much. i say go for, never hurts to add an intake system. may even help gas mileage a bit. don't expect extra horses. as for the sound you can hear some hissing and a bit louder engine sound.
here is a sound clip from a civic with AEM if you still want it

Awesome thanks for the sound clips now i can give my friend an idea of what it sounds like :)

no problem, do you have an altima and you join the forum to ask questions about your friends civic? just wondering because you have an altima in our sig

Word i joined just to get some info for him, who knows i may get a Honda in the future. I appreciate everyones help.

Thanks again, I'll be around the forums for a while.

He has a long list of mods:

Change rear tails
intake
springs/coilovers
projectors/HID
tint
etc.

Thats not a very long list of mods. That is basically what we all have plus more.

Well there are many more i just got lazy half way down the list lol.

actually there arent any gains buddy, most you will get if your lucky is about 1hp so if you wanna waste 100 bucks b my guest

The procedure for installing the V2 can be found on the page listed in my sig.

1HP = gains. No one expects to get 10-15HP out of an intake, to many different things are involved to even come close to those results. As far as spending $100 on an intake thats really not your problem, one thing you do get more out of this project is a nice sound in the engine bay which is one of the key things i want this mod to accomplish.

If i wanted this car to exceed 10HP then i would invest in more pricely mods that will get the job done. The same concept applies when you get an exhaust, your not going to automatically get 10HP or whatever the manufacturer promises. You need to tune your car to be able to show more then 1-3HP in gains.

Cronic thank you for voicing your opinion but its really not needed in this particular thread, when I'm already set on getting this mod.

Thank you for the guide, and thanks to all of you for being so helpful.

Prove it
 

I agree with macbeth18288 if your gonna bash something at least give a reason, preferably a better reason than you can't afford one so if you can't have one no one can....

Intake Installed
 

Here are some pics of my friends Honda with the intake installed hes too lazy to update the forum, and for some reason I'm more excited that he got an intake then he is lol.
