Superior Three - Layer Air Filter: This 360 - degree radial flow air filter comes with a 3.5 - inch flange and our oil - free Pro DRY S media. With three layers of synthetic media, it offers maximum convenience. The progressive layering ensures high filtration efficiency and large dust - holding capacity, without the need for oil. Ideal for street use, its inverted top increases the filter surface area, leading to longer service intervals. One - Piece Housing: The large air filter is encased in an open - element XLPE polymer housing. This housing reduces warm engine air for top - notch performance. Its open design allows you to easily check the air filter, and it forms a heat - blocking seal when the hood is closed. A bigger, improved air inlet grabs air from the factory scoop and sends it straight to the air filter. Dyno - Tuned Intake Tube: This system features a high - quality, computer - designed, dyno - tuned intake tube. It maximizes power gains while fitting perfectly. The XLPE material resists heat soak and is very durable. Hassle - Free Installation: This direct - fit intake system uses factory mounting points, no cutting or modifications needed. All required clamps, couplings, and hardware are included. Its innovative design, with our patent - pending filter - to - housing interface, uses half the parts of a traditional cold air intake system. This part fits multiple Honda Civic models from 2016 - 2021, including EX, LX, LX - P, Sport, and Type R.

Using this aFe Takeda intake system is a breeze. First, make sure your engine is cool before installation. Since it's a direct - fit system, simply use the factory mounting points and attach all the included clamps, couplings, and hardware. No cutting or modifications are needed, so you can get it installed quickly. When it comes to using your vehicle, the intake system will work automatically to improve performance. For maintenance, keep an eye on the air filter. Thanks to its large surface area and high - quality media, it has a long service interval. But if you notice a significant drop in performance or the filter looks dirty, it's time to clean it. You don't need to use oil on the Pro DRY S media, just follow the standard cleaning procedures for dry air filters. Also, check the housing regularly to ensure it's properly sealed and not allowing any warm engine air to reach the filter. When closing the hood, make sure the heat - blocking seal on the housing is working correctly. With proper use and maintenance, this intake system will keep your Honda Civic running at its best for a long time.
