2002-2005 Honda Civic Si Cold Air System Installation Instructions
Our system is constructed of lightweight aluminum and then painted with a zirconia based powder coat for superior heat insulating characteristics. The aluminum will not crack in extended use like plastic and it is actually lighter than plastic. The tube diameter and length are matched for each engine to give power over a broad rpm range. Unlike the plastic systems that use a continually diverging cross section, we take advantage of the acoustical energy in the duct to promote cylinder filling during the intake valve-opening event.
Our Dyno testing as well as independent dyno tests (see 7/97 Sport Compact Car Magazine) prove that the AEM Cold Air System produces as much as twice the power gain than any other system on the market.
Installation of the AEM Cold Air Intake System.
a) When installing the Cold Air Intake System, DO NOT completely tighten the hose clamps or mounting tab hardware until instructed to do so later in these instructions.
