The 1992-1995 Honda Civic (EG chassis) and 1993-1997 Del Sol are among the most modified platforms in existence, but the factory intake on these cars has not aged well. The stock airbox uses a ribbed plastic intake tube with internal turbulence ridges, a restrictive paper panel filter, and a snorkel that pulls warm air from behind the headlight. On a D15B7 or D16Z6 that's already working with modest displacement, every restriction matters.
The Flashark cold air intake replaces the entire factory assembly with a mandrel-bent, black powder-coated aluminum intake pipe, a high-flow red dry-cone filter, and a powder-coated steel heat shield. The aluminum pipe maintains a full 2.75" internal bore through every bend — no crush points, no ribbing, no turbulence. The dry media filter is washable and reusable, capturing 95%+ of particulates without the maintenance overhead of oiled cotton gauze. The heat shield isolates the filter from radiant engine-bay heat using factory bolt locations.
rebuilding toward an I/H/E setup, tuning the car, or wanting maximum power and consistency regardless of weather and traffic. The∗∗ShortRam intake (58.00) keeps the filter in the engine bay on a shorter pipe for a 30-minute bolt-on install, louder in-cabin intake sound, and zero water ingestion concern — the better choice for a daily driver where simplicity and sound are the priority.
Bottom line: Long Ram for max power under all conditions; Short Ram for simpler install and louder sound without touching the bumper.
Key Features
1. Mandrel-Bent Black Powder-Coated Aluminum Intake Pipe T-6061 aluminum with a durable black powder-coated finish — resists heat, corrosion, and oxidation far better than polished aluminum.
2. High-Flow Red Dry Cone Filter Washable, reusable dry filter — no oil required. This is a dry media filter, not cotton gauze. High-flow pleated element with reinforced mesh backing.
3. Heat Shield (Included) Powder-coated steel heat shield isolates the filter from engine bay radiant heat — especially important for the Short Ram version, where the filter sits in the bay. Rubber edge trim seals against the hood when closed. Uses factory bolt locations, no drilling.
4. Direct Bolt-On Design Designed specifically for the EG Civic and Del Sol D-series engine bay. The MAF sensor bung is pre-welded at the correct position. No cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications. Reuses factory mounting points.

Q1: What vehicles does this cold air intake fit?
A1: This cold air intake kit is designed for 1992-1995 Honda Civic models and 1993-1997 Honda Del Sol models equipped with 1.5L or 1.6L D-series engines (D15 / D16). It is a direct bolt-on upgrade for compatible EG chassis vehicles.
Q2: Will this intake fit a 1992 Honda Civic?
A2: Yes, it fits the 1992 Honda Civic equipped with the 1.5L or 1.6L D-series engine. This is one of the most common search applications for EG chassis cold air intake upgrades.
Q3: Does this cold air intake fit a 1995 Honda Civic EX or LX?
A3: Yes, it is compatible with 1995 Civic EX and LX models as long as they are equipped with the D15 or D16 engine. Always confirm engine type before ordering.
Q4: Will this intake fit a Honda Del Sol?
A4: Yes, it fits 1993-1997 Honda Del Sol models with 1.5L or 1.6L D-series engines. Del Sol intake routing is similar to EG Civic, making this a common shared upgrade.
Q5: Does this fit D16Z6 engine?
A5: Yes, the intake is compatible with D16Z6 engines commonly found in 1992-1995 Civic Si and EX models. This engine responds well to airflow upgrades like cold air intakes.
Q6: Does this fit D15B engine?
A6: Yes, it fits D15B 1.5L engines used in various EG Civic trims. While performance gains are more noticeable on D16 engines, D15 engines still benefit from improved throttle response and intake sound.
Q7: What is the difference between cold air intake and short ram intake?
A7: A cold air intake draws cooler air from outside the engine bay, while a short ram intake sits closer to the engine and is easier to install. Cold air intakes typically provide better high-RPM performance, while short ram intakes offer quicker throttle response.
Q8: How much horsepower does this intake add?
A8: On a stock D15 or D16 engine, gains are typically small (3-8 HP). The biggest improvements are throttle response, induction sound, and improved airflow efficiency rather than large horsepower increases.
Q9: Will this intake improve fuel economy?
A9: Fuel economy changes are minimal. Some drivers may see slight improvement during steady cruising, but results depend heavily on driving style and engine condition.
Q10: Will this intake make my Civic louder?
A10: Yes, it produces a more aggressive intake sound under acceleration. The D-series engine will have a noticeable “suction” and VTEC-style induction tone at higher RPM.
Q11: Does this intake require ECU tuning?
A11: No tuning is required. The factory ECU can adjust to the increased airflow automatically on most D-series engines.
Q12: Can this cause check engine light?
A12: Not under normal installation. A CEL may occur only if vacuum lines are disconnected or if the intake leaks air due to improper sealing.
Q13: Is this intake safe in rain or wet conditions?
A13: Yes under normal driving conditions. However, avoid deep water or flooding, as low-mounted filters can increase risk of water ingestion.
Q14: Is the filter reusable?
A14: Yes, the intake includes a washable and reusable high-flow cone filter designed for long-term use with proper maintenance.
Q15: How difficult is installation?
A15: Installation is simple bolt-on and usually takes 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools. No cutting or modification is required for EG Civic and Del Sol platforms.
