I have a civic 99 dx and just bought the cold air intake, is there anyone that knows the website or has the full instructions for the installation it would be a big help.
thanks guys

 

its not really that hard. all you have to do is take of the old one, and the new one only really fits in one way, i thought it would be hard too, but i jsut did one for the first time last week and it only took about an hour and i wasnt in a hurry what so ever.pics

look at this thread, it has some pics of the installment. it was on a B18c in a hatch, so it will be alittle differerent. but it is all basically the same idea. hope it helps.

 

Yeah it is pretty self explainitory. Just go at it! :thumbup:

 

the hard part is putting the tube down that hole into the back of your front bumper and then putting on the filter... after that its cake

 

Thanks guys, the thing is the holes on one of the pipes it has two small ones and a big one i have two rubber hoses that i will use for that but when i take off the stock box and everything i'm not sure where to connect the rubber hose. And also i'm not sure maybe i have to leave those open but i don't think so.
One more thing people have been telling me not to put cold air intake just the short one because of the rain or something so it will suck it in and it's not good.
So i'm not sure what to do
thanks agian

 

When I was deciding on whether to put the short or the cold air intake I also questioned on the water issue. I ended up going with the cold air intake and not the short intake and I have had no problems with water being sucked up. In my mind the only time water would get sucked up is if the filter was completely submerged and even then its questionable. Go for the cold air intake.

As for the hoses, when you take off you stock one you will see where the hoses need to be attatched. It should all line up. Good Luck.

 

If you are worried about hydro lock you should look at getting a Comptech Icebox. Or even making one yourself (that is what I am going to do - getting a K&N Filter and working on the tubing myself). It looks like an interesting DIY........

Here is a pretty good overview on intakes in general

And here are some links that I found helpful regarding the Icebox.

CAI on a 99dx? is that possible? my dx doesnt' come with the hole where the tube would go into the fenderwall. i've been pondering it and some shops have told me that i would have to cut one. if you do install a cold air intake on your dx i would like to know, this short ram thing is bugging me, need more umph

 

it goes around that little platform on the chassis for the dx ones.

 

what about a b16 in a dx chassis?
