Should I put a cold air intake on my Civic?

troll much? Good luck with your K&N...and make sure to put a sticker on your car that says "My Civic eats Mazda 3s for lunch"...it will give you at least 1 extra HP as long as it does not cover up your VTEC sticker in any way.

Perhaps I should add that it gets better fuel economy and is more reliable as well.

Fine. So all I'm gonna put on is a K&N drop-in filter. You guys do realize that my car has a faster 0-60 time than a Mazda 3, right? It's not that slow. The autotragic Civics take 10s to go 0-60, but in a manual my car does it in a little over 7s. It's not bad really.

So you have a manual Civic Si?
 
No.

If you want the biggest power gain from intake, remove your air filter. There, insta 1-2HP gain.

Also, what year civic? The D17A2 are absolutely horrible with even bolt on hardware.

You want fast civic without a crap ton of money? Lose weight, get lightweight wheels, take weight out of car (seats, stereo, carpeting).

Actually, this one has much more surface area and its open-celled structure is fine-tuned for the perfect balance between filtration (to keep the engine spinning at high RPMs) and flow rate, to allow your air-starved engine the ability to regulate its own fuel usage for maximum power. Plus, the dual-layer media allows a three-fold increase in lifetime due to segregation of differently-sized particulate matter, which prevents filter clogging.
