It looks like a weird short ram... your cai on that civ should sit below your battery right behind the fan... how did you get all of your pipes on a CAI to fit like that?!

 

Mxs here are the other angles of the engine.

Wtf?


Dude, I belive you have the wrong intake for your car.

 

it works though, i think because i did it wrong it works alot better, my friend has an m3 with the intake and it didn't change as much as my car did by installing the intake, my 0 to 60 dropped one second on this, it was ****in amazing

 

how much COLD air do you get off the top of your upper rad hose?

 

RETURN IT! you got the wrong one it looks like (what Remmy said) get a better one!

 

uhhh ya return it or something. its sucking up all the heat coming off of the radiator hose, header, and engine. faaaaar from being a CAI. looks like u might be able to take a hacksaw to the pipe and cut enough to fit the filter down where its supposed to be.

 

is the air from that area bad, because the car picks up wonderfully, i dont think it would be better to fix it, unless the air is damaging it.

 

its not bad, ur just sucking in a lot of warm air. u want to suck in cold air, thats the reason why ppl buy CAI's, lil more power..if u think it picks up well now, it'll pick up a bit better if u install the intake the correct way.

 

ok, ill have to do that, ill try to move the tube around so it goes under the battery right?, but yea thanks
