Product Specifications
2012-2015 Honda Civic 1.8L SOHC Cold Air Intake Kit
Built for 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Honda Civic sedans and coupes powered by the 1.8L SOHC R-series engine, this Flashark cold air intake kit replaces the factory airbox and the factory intake tube to route cooler, denser air into the throttle body. The included heat shield and powder-coated aluminum piping are sized specifically for the 9th-generation Civic engine bay, so the kit bolts to factory mounting points without cutting or fabricating — most installs finish in about 60 minutes with a basic socket set.
If you drive a DX, EX, LX, Touring, or SE trim with the 1.8L engine and want a more audible intake tone plus the option to service a reusable dry filter instead of replacing paper elements every service interval, this kit is engineered for that exact configuration. The MAF sensor and intake air temperature sensor are retained at their original locations and bores, so the factory calibration envelope is not modified by the install.

Key Features
- True Cold Air Design with Dual-Diameter Aluminum Piping: Routes cooler, denser air through a Φ76 mm (3 in) main pipe paired with a Φ70 mm secondary pipe, both powder-coated matte black, replacing the factory airbox and intake tube without cutting or fabrication.
- Washable Dry Cone Air Filter: 120 mm top / 155 mm base / 130 mm height with a Φ76 mm inlet; red dry cotton gauze that requires no oil — clean with soap and water and reuse rather than replacing paper elements every service interval.
- Precision Silicone Couplers: Includes one Φ70 → Φ76 reducer coupler and one Φ76 straight coupler for sealed joints at the throttle body and the filter neck.
- Complete Hardware Kit: Two air filter clamps, three narrow band clamps, one mini clamp, four M6 bolts, four washers, and two M6 anti-vibration rubber mounts are included — no extra parts run to the hardware store.
- Vehicle-Specific Aluminum Mounting Brackets: Two aluminum brackets (76 × 18 × 1.5 mm and 165 × 18 × 1.5 mm) bolt to factory mounting points so the install stays bolt-on with no fabrication.
- Factory PCV Routing with Breather Hose: The included D24-d16 × 230 mm breather hose connects to the factory PCV system to preserve stock crankcase ventilation. The MAF and intake air temperature sensors are retained at their original locations and bores.
Who This Kit Is For
This Flashark Cold Air Intake Kit is designed for the 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Honda Civic sedan and coupe with the 1.8L SOHC R-series engine, including DX, LX, EX, EX-L, SE, and Touring trims.
✓ For you if… you want a more audible intake tone under acceleration · you prefer a washable dry filter you can clean and reuse instead of disposable paper elements · you want a bolt-on install you can finish in your driveway in about an hour with a socket set · you have confirmed your state and county emissions rules below.
✗ Not for you if… you drive a 2012–2015 Honda Civic Si (the 2.4L K24Z7 engine is a different configuration — see the Si-specific kit) · you drive a Civic Hybrid, CNG, or natural-gas trim (different intake geometry) · you need an OEM-replacement airbox or intake hose (this is a complete kit replacement) · you live in California or a CARB-adopting state and require an EO-numbered kit (see Compliance Notice below).

Check Before Ordering
① Vehicle: Exact-fit for 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Honda Civic sedan and coupe with the 1.8L SOHC engine (R18 series, including R18Z1) in DX, LX, EX, EX-L, SE, and Touring trims. Civic Si (2.4L), Hybrid, CNG, and 2016+ models are not covered by this SKU.
② Intake Type: Open-element cold air intake with a heat shield that pulls from a cooler zone away from the exhaust manifold.
③ Filter: Dry synthetic element — no oil required. Clean with soap and water and reuse; replacement elements are available separately.
④ Sensors: The kit retains the factory MAF sensor and intake air temperature sensor at their original locations and bores. If you have replaced the factory MAF sensor with an aftermarket unit, verify the bore with our support team before installing.
⑤ Legality: This kit does not carry a CARB Executive Order (EO) number — see the Compliance Notice section below for state-by-state guidance.
⑥ Install Space and Driving Conditions: Bolt-on install, about 60 minutes, with a basic socket set. The filter sits in the engine bay; avoid deep water crossings (hydrolock risk).
