DC Sports Short Ram Intake For Use With (12-15 Honda CIVIC SI/13-15 Acura ILX 2.4L)

Please read before buying! First off, I like this intake. It simple, easy to install, provides an awesome aftermarket sound and just all and all a solid intake. However, there is one major flaw with the kit that dang near paralyzed my car for a couple of weeks before I found the issue. The kit comes with a flexible coolant hose to replace a hard line that connects the throttle body to the water splitter directly off the driver side of the engine. The issue that I ran into was that this short piece of hose is of such poor quality that it was allowing air into my coolant system and causing an overheating problem. At first I thought it may have been a failing thermostat, so I replaced the thermostat and flushed the system fully. Drove the car for three days without issue. Back to work Monday morning and I had no heat inside the car and it was spilling coolant from the overflow reservoir. I decided to go to Advance Auto and rent a coolant system pressure tester. Hooked this up to the car and found that said piece of coolant hose was literally bubbling coolant and air bubbles out of the ends of the hose from the threads within the casing of the hose itself. The hose clamps were tight, the leak was not coming from the connections, just a poor quality hose. I replaced the hose, purged all the air from the heater core, flushed, filled, retested, and so far have not had another issue and this has been about 3 weeks now. Please do yourself a favor and go to the parts store and buy a 2 dollar piece of quality heater hose to keep from ruining your engine. I don’t understand why this company went so cheap with what is already a cheap component.

First of all Let me explain that I have barely any basic mechanical knowledge when it comes to vehicles. However, installing this intake on my 2013 civic Si was as simple as can be. Everything done to remove parts and install this intake is very easy, fast and all you need is a little bit of common sense. The process itself took approximately 30 to 45 minutes with a few "duh" mistakes made.After the intake was done and I took it for a short test drive to get a feel of the car I noticed that now my car REALLY wants to go and it wants to go quick. It's as if some mods were done to make the car feel like a race car (In my opinion that is) and I love it. The sound isn't as noticeable until you get it on 2nd gear (manual transmission of course) and even though it isn't a huge throaty sound, it does make it sound a bit more aggressive which I love.For this being such a simple and easy upgrade on my car, I have to say that it is a really noticeable and positive upgrade for not a whole lot of money. I highly recommend people buying this air intake for your 13 civic Si and I couldn't be happier to have it in my car.

Easy to install. Didnt come with 2 hose clamps for PCV but evetything else is included. L bracket for mounting doesnt line up but it honestly not needed. It is very sturdy without it. Sounds great! No CEL!

Great intake that’s super simple to install. My one complaint is that I was missing one of the rubber fittings. Luckily I was able to work around not having it with one I already had.

Lo instale super rapido... Y sii au sonido la duferencia se nota

Adds a lot of noise which is fun. There’s a slight dip in the powerband now but I haven’t got a tune so it’s probably fixable. Feels like I lost mid but gained up top and sounds amazing.

Sounds awesome. Great intake
