Using this intake system is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is a 2017 - 2021 Honda Civic Type - R FK8. Then, replace the factory's corrugated inlet hose with the 4 - ply silicone hose included in the kit and install the high - flow air filter. Remember, for international models, you might need to use a 6 - 8mm cap on the EVAP assembly, but no ECU calibration is needed. As for maintenance, regularly check the air filter. When it gets dirty, clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will keep your intake system working well and help maintain the added horsepower and torque.
