This direct bolt - on upgrade maximizes your 10th Gen Civic's engine intake system and turbocharger potential. It eliminates intake airflow restriction before the turbocharger, allowing it to operate more efficiently. The thin - wall Titanium helps reduce heat - soak. Our design uses a cast aluminum inlet piece for a smooth transition from a 50mm ID compressor inlet to a 76.2mm OD / 74mm ID outlet through the Titanium crossover pipe. The compressor outlet diameter is increased from 38mm to 45mm. It provides a significant increase in airflow volume compared to the factory inlet pipe while maintaining velocity. The multi - piece design makes installation easier and fitment better. The kit includes a cast aluminum inlet piece, a 76mm OD Titanium Inlet Pipe, two high - temp 4 - ply silicone couplers, five 304 stainless steel interlocking worm clamps, four vacuum hoses, an injection molded evap purge fitting, two Buna O - rings, a bolt, and a wiring harness tie - down.
