Using this Cobra Cold Air Intake System is easy. First, check if your car is a 2016 - 2021 Honda Civic Non - Si 1.5T. If you're in Canada, you'll need to do the USDM windshield washer reservoir conversion. For installation, follow the Street Install Guide or Race Install Guide depending on your needs. Remember, the street MAF housing doesn't need ECU calibration, but the race MAF housing does. You can find the race MAF basemap calibrations in Hondata and KTuner. Also, the Two Step Performance 'TSP' and Phearable calibrations work when you choose the 'Race MAF' option. Just note that it won't work with the factory CVT cooler in some regions. When it comes to performance, you'll get power gains right away. With the street MAF housing, you can see 15 horsepower and 12 ft/lb torque gains without any tuning. With the race MAF housing and proper calibration, it's 20 horsepower and 15 ft/lb torque gains. You can even get bigger gains with custom tuning. To switch between MAF housings, use the MAF Housing Conversion Kit. And if you want to convert to a short ram intake, use the Short Ram Intake Conversion Kit. For maintenance, regularly check the PRL Motorsports High Flow Oiled Cone Air Filter. Clean or replace it as needed. Also, make sure all the clamps and brackets are tight to keep everything in place.
