Hey man. I am surprised you dont have more subscribers than you do. This was an excellent install video. I have the Cobra Intake on the way right now for my 18 SI and i am totally using your video for guidance. I am not trying to talk shit about TTorres but your install video blows his out of the water. I can tell you actually care that we see everything that goes into this install. You can tell in TTorres video that he rushed through the video taking process and didnt try to get every detail on film. Really seems like you took some solid time into making this in exchange for your car not being ready sooner. Didnt mean to make this a big thing just thought id give you some praise. Thanks man. I really hope to see more. There isnt a lot of DIY vids for 10th gen si mods. I got that alert up so keep it up bro!
Literally the best install video I have seen from a 10th Gen Civic didn't even have to take the bumper off and you had picture perfect steps of how to install awesome video!!!
Hey Man, thanks for your video! I followed it to a “T” and it was definitely appreciated. I’m surprised the manufacturer didn’t have instructions for install but luckily TH-cam was the way to go. Hardest part was the relocation bracket, but got it taken care of. Intake looks great and can’t wait to test it out in the a.m.
Hey thanks to your guide, I was able to installed my prl cold air intake non si "race" on my civic hatchback. Just waiting for tsp now to send me my tune; race file, and I cant wait to hear and feel it's full potential.
Does this void a 2018 Civic warranty? Mine only has 16,000 miles on it so far. Also can you put these on a regular Civic? I have a '18 Civic Sedan, EX-T, 6 sp, manual with 1.7L turbo. Or do they make an entirely different intake for these. I understand that it would also be a totally different install because my engine compartment is totally different than on your SI. Also the bottom of the car is totally different.
The bolt u used to mount the relocation bracket is supposed to go on the bottom of the box to the other bracket to either the frame or the bottom of the plastic. And the bolt u used to mount the bottom bracket the to backside is suppose to be the bolt that goes on the relocation bracket.
@@801Garage can u please explain 11:43 please? U only have 1 bolt in the bracket. I thought there was 2 that go to the frame ....earlier in the video u said there was 2 and 1 had the nut in the back, but the bolt u were holding was the Allen key.
How much louder does it make the engine noise? I spend a decent amount of time on the highway, does it sound significantly louder in the cabin when holding the same RPMs like you would on the highway?
Took me like 30 mins to find where the first bracket was supposed to screw onto had to look up the installation guide to see you Had to peel back the wheel liner to find that spot
I notice at 11:35 you left off one of the bolts on the bottom bracket, it also looks like you used the front bolt hole instead of the rear hole. I’ve heard people complain of the intake contacting and rubbing did this move the intake some and prevent rubbing/contact?
Just bought this and ur video was awesome for this install on my 20 SI I DID get the race version though, what is needed for the tune? (Not very car savvy)
Paul L I don't doubt it did have 10 hp gains. However you will never feel 10 hp more. Thats not enough of a power gain that you will feel it driving differently. I absolutely love the intake though
You need about a 20hp gain to feel it on the butt dyno. I've used quite a few intakes on the over 75 cars I've owned (I'm 58) NONE gave me any seat of the pants performance increase......I used them for the increase in engine sound and engine bling. An intake will give you only a couple hp increase......if that.
So whats the psh psh noise that keeps coming after you press on the gas.? Like im tryna get much information since i may install a aftermarket air intake on my civic..

It’s actually hard asf to get that tighten down because the plastic part is so pressured that it don’t even allow the top bracket to be put on correctly, if it wasn’t for my ocd of having everything perfect I Would’ve taken some short cuts

Is it safe to run an intake on the Si without a tune?
Yes. This intake can be run with no tune. However for best results a tune is always recommended for aftermarket parts
