Default 2010 Civic question.

I have a 2010 Civic DX-G and I'm wanting to install a CAI. Now the CAI's that are for a 2006-08 are infinitly cheaper then the ones listed for 2010, so will a CAI for a 2006-08 fit in the 2010?

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area, I'm new lol.

well you're gonna get a "shot in the dark" answer from me, so here goes

I havn't been under the hood of any civic newer then 2002, so I don't know if there is any difference under the hood of a 2006 or a 2010. A CAI for a 2006 might fit (I think it would, I don't think they changed much - if at all), however they may have tweaked the computer and what the computer expects to see from various sensors. Therefore, even if the CAI fits physically with no problems, that doesn't mean it will make your car run better. Probably the worst that would happen is that your car throws a code and runs poorer then with the stock airbox. However, I could be wrong and it might work just fine. I would hold off and do some research to be sure before dropping your cash
