Short Ram Air Intake Kit & Red Filter Combo Compatible for 96 97 98 Honda Civic HX EX 1.6L L4 Engine

What This Intake Actually Does (Without the Marketing Fluff)

Short ram intakes are all about reducing restriction. Instead of pulling air through a maze of plastic tubing and a suffocating airbox, this kit gives your engine a shorter, smoother path to breathe.

• Improved airflow = less restriction compared to OEM

• Sharper throttle response = engine reacts quicker when you step on it

• Aggressive intake tone = yes, you’ll hear it every time you get on it

• Cleaner engine bay look = because aesthetics matter, even if you pretend they don’t

Is it a massive horsepower gain? No. Is it one of the easiest ways to make your Civic more fun to drive? Absolutely.

Improve MPG – This intake allows to your engine to draw in air quicker resulting in more complete burning of fuel. Performance – Unrestricted air flow allows for better throttle response and combustion as well as more power and torque. Premium Parts – Designed to dramatically reduce intake temperatures and air restriction to your engine. Users with forced induction engines often opt for short ram intakes because compressors adjacent to the engine, especially turbochargers, heat the incoming air and negate much of the benefits of a cold air intake

The Red Filter: Not Just for Looks

Let’s be honest—the red filter is doing two jobs here.

1. Performance – It allows more air to pass through compared to stock paper filters

It’s reusable too, which means you clean it instead of tossing it—good for your wallet and your ego.

Why This Upgrade Just Makes Sense

For the price and ease of install, a short ram intake is basically the gateway mod for Civic owners. You’re not reinventing the engine—you’re just letting it do its job better.

And let’s be real… if you’re modifying a 96–98 Civic, you already know this is step one. Right after this comes exhaust, wheels, and suddenly you’re “just doing a simple build” that somehow never ends.
