intake question

I was just wondering how much horsepower would a intake add to a 04 civic ex? Also where is a good place to buy them?

having a cold air intake (CAI) or Short ram intake (SRI) helps performance, not shore on how much HP. A CAI will help more than a SRI.

get an AEM intake on Ebay.

Read the INTAKE FAQ on the top of this section. It will tell you everything you need to know.

fix't.

Unfortunately, the d17 isn't known for its responsiveness to bolt-ons. Either way, an intake won't exactly be felt in the seat of your pants. Nonetheless, it's still worth buying IMO, if only for the cool sound it makes

... you're looking at 1-2whp gain on a 7th gen EX.

also, like said, a cold-air will net slightly higher gains than a short-ram, not to mention the gain is consistent, unlike the short-ram which is subject to heat soak after a short amount of time.
