DC Sports Cold Air Intake for 96-00 Honda Civic DX/LX/CX 1.6L (CAI5013)
If you’re still on a stock air box, your D16 is leaving power on the table. This DC Sports cold air intake for the 96-00 Civic DX/LX/CX routes the filter down into the fender, replaces the choked factory ducting, and lets your D16 breathe like it should. You get colder air, less restriction, and that classic D-series induction roar every time you crack the throttle.
Why you’ll feel the difference
- Real gains you can back up – Our Civic mandrel bent intake uses 6061-T6 lightweight aluminum intake tubing that keeps diameter and flow consistent, so you see solid horsepower and torque gains across the revs instead of a “maybe” bump at the top.
- Sharper throttle response
- Colder, cleaner air – Cooler charge air means denser oxygen, more timing headroom, and more repeatable power on hot days or in traffic.
- Reusable filter, not a throwaway – Reusable air filter is an oiled cone that captures fine dust down to 5 microns and cleans up with a wash and re-oil
- Street and smog friendly – CARB EO D-370-15, so it’s a true CARB compliant intake. You keep the power and pass inspection in California and every other emissions-check state.
- Built to deal with real use – The hard-anodized gunmetal tube resists corrosion and road grime, and the multi-ply silicon coupler hardware handles engine movement and heat without cracking or blowing off.
- Everything you actually need – You get brackets, stainless clamps, and clear instructions so you can install it in the driveway with basic hand tools.
