DC Sports Short Ram Intake - 2006-2011 Honda Civic DX / EX / LX (1.8L, SRI5525)
This DC Sports Short Ram Intake is built for the 2006-2011 Honda Civic DX, EX, and LX 1.8L crowd that wants a real gain, not noise for its own sake. It replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a straighter, freer-flowing path that sharpens throttle response and adds a deeper induction sound, while staying fully street legal.
How It Breathes
We swap the fragile OEM rubber intake tract for smooth, mandrel-bent aluminum piping and pair it with a high-flow filter. That cuts turbulence, lets the engine pull air in more efficiently, and gets rid of the factory snorkel choke point that strangles the stock setup. On a Civic with bolt-ons you'll feel quicker tip-in and a stronger midrange, whether you're commuting or leaning on it in third gear.
Washable Filter
The DC Sports filter is a high-flow, washable, reusable element, so you clean and re-oil it at service intervals instead of buying a throwaway filter every time.
Direct Bolt-On
The kit bolts on with normal hand tools, with no cutting and no permanent modification. It comes with the hardware and brackets to mount cleanly on both manual and automatic cars, so you're not fighting fitment. We run these same parts on our own 8th gen test cars, so if something's annoying about the install, we find out fast.
