If you’re looking to give your Honda Civic Type R a serious boost, the HPS Performance Air Intake Kit is a solid choice. This isn’t just another intake kit; it’s designed to replace that restrictive stock intake with a sleek 3.5” mandrel-bent aluminum tube. What does that mean for you? Better air delivery to the engine, which translates to a more responsive ride. Trust me, once you feel that difference, you won’t want to go back.
The kit comes with a high-performance, reusable high-flow cotton air filter that’s easy to clean and maintain. Plus, there’s a custom heat shield that directs airflow right where it needs to go. This isn’t just for show; the CAD-designed heat shield also lets your turbocharged engine really sing when you hit the gas. You’ll notice improved acceleration and throttle response, with dyno-proven gains of 9.9 horsepower and 13 lb-ft of torque. That’s not just numbers on a page; that’s real-world performance you can feel.
Built to handle tough driving conditions, this intake kit features durable, high-temperature resistant reinforced silicone couplers and 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps. It’s made to last, so you won’t have to worry about it failing on you when you’re out on the road or hitting those twisty backroads.
And if you’re worried about installation, don’t be. You can get this kit installed with just some basic hand tools—no need for any fancy modifications. It’s a straightforward bolt-on process that even a novice can handle.
