Another high quality video. I appreciate all of the additional commentary. I’m always learning something new about my car from your videos. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
I think it sounds pretty darn good compared to stock (prior to your first mod). Fun car, especially with manuel trans. I have a 2024 Si as my daily. My Ford Raptor is my Sunday drive vehicle. Great content, enjoy the channel.
Some vestiges of the old Honda are still alive! Thanks to your videos, I ended up with a 24 Sport hatch...with the CVT. At least it's the same color. I love the car. So far so good. The only big issue I had was self-inflicted. When I replaced the reverse and turn signal bulbs (the same ones used on my 10th gen), I ended up popping two fuses on the BCM, which freaked out the car. What's worse, whoever did a hard reset failed to tighten the positive cable. Either way, Im happy with mine.
Hy NAUS! I just got brand new 2024 honda civic sport hatchback (automatic) today in sonic gray. I was looking for a sedan. But as every guy that looks for the reviews video before buying anything, I came to your vids and watching your car, the hatchback really grew on me. let’s hope I don’t have to face the hatch leak or bolt loose of the transmission in future 😅. But anyway I’ll be watching your video for any mod’s I’ll adding on car.
I may have mentioned this before but the Road and Track article "The 2016 Honda Civic Coupe Is All You Need" talking about the NA 2 liter and manual transmission combination summarizes the appeal of your car. Future classic.
Good move on the dryflow filter. Maf sensors are very easy to fowl with an even slightly over oiled filter. I wish the kit came with a hinge on the box for easier filter change.
I just changed the air filter itself and saved myself all the fluff. But I get it. People want it to look like it makes a difference. Great video as always. - by the way don’t get an oiled air filter - specially you turbo civics. 😉
Thanks for another great video with easy to follow instructions. Switching out the included filter for the upgraded one for more protection and to prevent rusting is very wise! Did you ever do this mod on your 8th gen civic?
It’s more restrictive than an oiled filter yes, but this one has significantly more surface area than the oiled filter to negate that. Dryflow actually does its job and filters the air. It’s still less restrictive than the stock air filter. Were you tuned with the oiled air filter then switch to a dry flow and noticed the fuel trims change? If custom tuned that could have a lot to do with it
Do these Hondas with the naturally aspirated engine have a rear engine motor mount? I noticed the engine was moving a ton when you were getting on it, obv I know it’s no sports car but it made my 18 Si so much smoother back in the day
Can't wait for Honda to be an exact carbon copy of Volkswagen in 2025 when they drop the 2.0 NA and manual options! 1.5 turbo or 2.0 turbo? 2 or 3 engine replacements under warranty? You decide!
@@NAUS2K sucks. Used 10th is an option (lots of available 6mt with k20c2), but i feel that gen needs a more beefy front end for track use. Seems like they made 11th chassis a little stronger which is necessary for front axle in track use. Wish they had an Si with K20c2 engine, so that chassis/suspension structure wouldn’t be an issue if you were to make it into dedicated track car. 1.5T not ideal since it’ll have to quit the track after a few laps and K20C2 can go all day long.
All depends on your climate, driving style, and the type of driving you do. I am still averaging 30 mpg with minimal highway. But my commute is mostly backroads, only 10 mins of city driving
@@NAUS2K I appreciate you uploading videos. I wasn't trying to be negative but rather trying to understand why so many people spend lots of $ to add an aftermarket intake but don't expect gain that's all.
Tried install on a 2024 civic hatchback sport but the oem seemed like its attached to a bigger piece which i couldnt get out. I didnt want to yank on anything and possibility break something.
I have a question for you, I really shouldn’t even ask because you really shouldn’t be doing this install if you’re in fact “Not Chasing Gains”. If you’re “not chasing gains” then why is it that you’re installing a HVI in the first place? Why not just leave it completely stock? I mean stock is pro’s for the non gain chasing folk and cons for the people that chase gains all day. Why?
To get a little more induction noise and still have a filter setup that will do just as well as oem for engine longevity. This has made the car more pleasurable to drive since it is a 6 speed manual. If it was a CVT car I’d absolutely keep it as quiet as possible
There are no good options for a single exit , I do not plan on doing a sport touring rear diffuser on it and one of those obnoxious dual exhausts. If there was a quiet single like the Q300 or quieter, I’d consider it
Does this throw codes? Or was your car tuned before the intake for the intake? 9th gen here if i touch anything witbout a tune i throw codes and/or actually lose hp vs gain.
I mention in the video how the MAF housing is exactly the same diameter as stock, so it won’t throw any codes. I have not had an issue yet and am still on the stock ecu
Hi Friend, Your vids are awesome! We specialize in the production of automotive radiators, heat exchangers, and cooling system components. I've been watching your videos on TH-cam and really like your content. We're wondering if we could collaborate. Would you like to put our products to the test and review them on your channel?
Your videos are so well edited and professional. I love your details/input and deviation from other youtubers. This motivates me to some how add more engine/induction noise instead of a loud exhaust to my 22 Corolla Hatchback 6MT.
Right now I have the Stage 1 intake kit from PRL (which is the same as this, but it only comes with the inlet hose and upgraded drop in filter) and the stock resonator deleted. I was thinking of upgrading to the PRL HVI box and cone filter since you can buy all the parts separately on their website, but if it's only a slight bump in intake noise, I'm gonna pass for now. Thanks for sharing and making my decision easier!
Yeah, imo keep your setup, not worth the extra money . Be mindful of that oiled air filter though. I’d consider going back to an oem style filter if I were you
I'm actually gonna drop the stock one back in for now. Didn't realize how sketchy the oiled filters were. It made no difference in the induction noise anyway. Only the inlet tubing changed the sound a bit.
I give you a thumbs up for your presentation! After watching, I don't think I'd bother with any intake on this car. The OEM piece seems well designed to me, and, I can't pick up a significant difference in tone! The only mods I'm contemplating is a 93 octane tune and possibly lowering it an inch. When I destroy the OEM wheels, (inevitable on NYC roads), I will upgrade to a lower weight wheel/tire combo. End of mods for this car!
I bought and installed the K&N typhoon intake for the 11th gen 2.0 and I absolutely love it, it’s open box unlike the PRL and a little cheaper at 300 dollars, sounds amazing
Any issues with higher intake temps/engine temps at idling or on hot days? I have a CVT sport and about to install the HVI. Anything helps with these 2.0 sports.
I have not logged IATs back to back , but the hvi and stock intake are both plastic boxes that suck air from the same exact oem duct so I’d imagine the IATs are nearly the same
@@NAUS2K My thoughts as well. We’ll see. Also, thank you for the recommendation of a compatible “dry” filter. I purchased the exact same one to install in lieu of the oiled cone it came with along with the pre-filter. Awesome vid!
You can hear the engine more when you stab the throttle, so it may make the experience feel like it’s more responsive, but definitely a placebo. The only way to improve response would be a remap on the ECU (Ktuner) or similar
Very organized, well thought out install. The air filter you spec’d is a must do, thank you! Are you doing anything with exhaust? I’m considering a cat-back system, with a glass resonator. Maybe I’ll get 160 BPH - lol!
If someone came out with a clean single exit and quite deep mature tone I’d consider it. Problem is no one has made a rear diffuser to support a clean single exit yet . People that hang the cans under the stock rear sport diffuser I think is hideous
All that effort time & money spent for what? I really don't see any changes whatsoever with sound wise. And I don't really foresee any performance improvement either. This is just some gimmick that aftermarket manufacturers do to sell stuff for car enthusiasts wanting to improve their ❤ vehicle's worth. 😅
The next time you have the airbox out, do yourself a favor and change the trans fluid to Ravenol MTF-2. Much easier to shift when cold, and when warm, the shifter clicks into gear much smoother than whatever Honda puts in.
Only if it causes problems (Check engine lights, etc). I have a cold air on mine & in the rare times I did go to the dealership, there weren't any problems.
My touring hatchback sonic gray is hitting a year sitting in the garage with 90 miles 18miles from purchase lol Just took it around the block a mile to warm it up 😅
My bad haha, when I think someone thinks the 1.5T sounds good I get triggered. 08 mugen Si is one of my favorite Hondas of all time. Absolutely beautiful car with an engine with incredible character and sound.
I just bought some black RFP1s 8” rims w/ 235/45/17 tires for mine. I will probably try to make a vid on the switch once I swap em out. Aesthetically I know it won’t look the greatest but I think it should be a decent upgrade comfort and weight wise since the stock rim with tires weigh close to 52lbs. Interested to know your take on that.

Yes I watched it all. Information was great. Thinking of purchasing your plugs since you were the first I saw that ever made it for our models. but idk if it would make any difference since I have the PRL N1 exhaust and high volume installed.

Clean install
Thank you!
Should swap a K24 in there haha
Then we could call it an siR!
Actually all you probably need is the block itself. Knowing Honda, I'm positive some version of the K24 would fit perfectly in this.
Is this intake good for CVT as well? Or is is more for manual transmissions? Thanks
You should get an si shifter assembly so you get the shorter throws.
Thanks for another great video with easy to follow instructions. Switching out the included filter for the upgraded one for more protection and to prevent rusting is very wise! Did you ever do this mod on your 8th gen civic?
My 8thgen civic had a hybrid racing intake the majority of its life with an AEM dry flow pre filter. Both in my all motor setup and supercharged setup
We appreciate the video
I really want one of those civics!
dry filter is restrictive.I did the same thing switching to a dry flow from oiled filter and I noticed my long term fuel trims got rich from -4 to-12.
It’s more restrictive than an oiled filter yes, but this one has significantly more surface area than the oiled filter to negate that. Dryflow actually does its job and filters the air. It’s still less restrictive than the stock air filter. Were you tuned with the oiled air filter then switch to a dry flow and noticed the fuel trims change?

Yes it has a rear motor mount and my next video will be the upgraded PRL mount, stay tuned !
I’d probably go with a drop in k&n. Even in a 3.5l Nissan 350z you would not get any gains over the stock airbox
Hey I know my 2023 Honda Civic LX can I do the same air intake, because a lot of people mostly use sport or hatchback….!!
Can't wait for Honda to be an exact carbon copy of Volkswagen in 2025 when they drop the 2.0 NA and manual options! 1.5 turbo or 2.0 turbo? 2 or 3 engine replacements under warranty? You decide!
I’m thinking this one or the k&n filter I just don’t know which one is best for sounding and a little bit more power
would this fit the 2025?
Any horsepower gains ?
I wonder if the Injen airfilter would be compatible with the short ram intake from PRL given they appear to utilize the same PRL oiled filter
Probably will!
If you manage to get some noticeable gains out of your mods, I might have to put the K20C2 back on my shopping list.
Well you’ll only have a few more months to get one brand new before the hybrids take over
@@NAUS2K sucks. Used 10th is an option (lots of available 6mt with k20c2), but i feel that gen needs a more beefy front end for track use.

Will you also do an ECU remap so you get the best of the new intake?
Yes I have a Ktuner v1.2 on hand, that will be a future video!
One question if I may, why my 2024 civic sport hatchback 2.0 with manual transmission I get only 24.7 mpg and you get 30 mpg on yours???
All depends on your climate, driving style, and the type of driving you do. I am still averaging 30 mpg with minimal highway. But my commute is mostly backroads, only 10 mins of city driving
I’m a little bit confused when you said “daily driver not chasing gain” so what’s the point installing this aftermarket intake then?
To wrench on my car, bring you guys this content, and make it sound a little better. Who doesn’t like wrenching and personalizing their ride?
@@NAUS2K I appreciate you uploading videos. I wasn't trying to be negative but rather trying to understand why so many people spend lots of $ to add an aftermarket intake but don't expect gain that's all.
Yeah it’s probably the mod I needed the least. Stay tuned for the next few videos, the next couple mods I do to this car I’m super pumped about
Tried install on a 2024 civic hatchback sport but the oem seemed like its attached to a bigger piece which i couldnt get out. I didnt want to yank on anything and possibility break something.

Is this carb legal ? I live in California and I’ll get 25 to life in prison for having any mod on my vehicle. 😢
I’m not sure, reach out to PRL to see if so!
WIll these parts not so much PRL intake but the plugs and filter for a 2023 Honda Civic Type R - FL5?
Plugs, probably not. Intake filter? Maybe, would have to look up the specs for the filter supplied with the FL5 hvi kit
Does this throw codes? Or was your car tuned before the intake for the intake? 9th gen here if i touch anything witbout a tune i throw codes and/or actually lose hp vs gain.
I mention in the video how the MAF housing is exactly the same diameter as stock, so it won’t throw any codes. I have not had an issue yet and am still on the stock ecu
@NAUS2K not bad.
So if I use the filter that comes with this PRL kit,is it no good ? I also daily drive mine. (2024 Civic 2.0 CVT)
No that’s not what I said, it just won’t filter as well as the setup I described, your choice!
Great video, well done! Its nice, however I'm not sure it's $500 nice!
I agree, the price for all this is steep for what it is.
Sorry to burst your bubble. If you clean the blue filter it’s white. The blue oil is gone. Whatever recharge kit you use is the color you get.
Dry flow means there is no oil on the filter. You don’t recharge dry flow filters. Been using them for many years my friend
How many miles you have on the car now?
Just crossed 7000
