DC Sports Cold Air Intake for 2000–2005 Honda S2000 (SKU: CAI5020)
If you daily your AP1/AP2 and still hit every on-ramp like a qualifying lap, this DC Sports Cold Air Intake is the Honda S2000 intake upgrade you’re looking for. It replaces the factory accordion hose with mandrel-bent 6061 aluminum tubing and moves the filter down into the bumper area, so your F Series breathes cooler air instead of hot air from the engine bay. You’ll feel sharper throttle response, stronger mid-range, and a louder, cleaner VTEC crossover—while staying fully 50-state legal as a CARB compliant intake S2000 (EO D-370-15).
Why it actually works
- Real cold air, not just noise: The extended Honda S2000 cold air intake routing puts the filter in the lower bumper, away from under-hood heat, so intake temps stay more consistent on back-to-back pulls.
- High-flow, reusable filter: The DC Sports reusable air filter uses a large, washable cotton gauze element that flows better than a stock paper filter and cleans up with basic filter cleaner and oil. One S2000 high flow air filter for the life of the car.
- Smoother airflow path: Mandrel bent aluminum intake tubing and proper provisions for the factory sensors cut down on turbulence, so you don’t get weird hesitation or surging at part throttle.
- Built to take abuse: The wrinkle-black finish on the S2000 aluminum tubing intake helps resist corrosion and holds up to heat cycles, rain, and the occasional off-track excursion.
- Smog-friendly power: This DC Sports intake system keeps you legal, avoids check-engine lights, and doesn’t turn your next smog visit into a science project.
Street and track gains you’ll notice
- Real-world dyno tests show about +6–10 whp on a stock ECU
- More responsive revs make heel-and-toe easier, especially dropping into 3rd or 2nd before a corner
- Deeper, more aggressive induction sound under load without constant drone on the freeway
This DC Sports cold air intake comes with everything you need: silicone couplers, T-bolt-style clamps, brackets, and hardware, plus clear photo instructions. Bolt it on in an afternoon, enjoy the extra power and sound that a proper Honda S2000 cold air intake brings, and don’t worry about replacing filters every year—the washable high flow filter S2000 owners get here is meant to be serviced and reused.
