Product Specifications
1996–2000 Honda Civic DX/LX/CX D16Y7 1.6L Cold Air Intake
Replace the stock airbox and ribbed intake tubing with a two-piece aluminum intake kit designed for the 1996–2000 Honda Civic DX, LX, and CX 1.6L. This Flashark Cold Air Intake pairs a washable dry cone filter with silicone couplers and stainless steel clamps for a more direct intake path and a deeper intake tone under acceleration. Response and sound depend on the vehicle, installation, and driving conditions.

Key Features
- Two-piece aluminum tubing: Mandrel-bent sections replace the stock ribbed intake path and resonance chambers; the black powder-coated finish adds a clean engine-bay appearance and corrosion resistance.
- Washable dry cone filter: The reusable red filter is designed to capture fine contaminants while supporting airflow. Inspect it regularly; a typical service interval is approximately 15,000–20,000 miles under normal conditions, with more frequent checks in dusty driving. Clean and reinstall it without filter oil.
- Factory mounting layout: The kit uses original mounting locations, with no cutting or drilling specified for the stock D16Y7 installation.
- Intake response: The revised tubing is intended to reduce part-throttle hesitation and sharpen response, particularly through the everyday 2,000–4,500 RPM range; results depend on vehicle condition and setup.
- Induction character: The cone filter and aluminum tubing are intended to bring out a deeper intake tone under acceleration while remaining quieter at steady cruise; perceived volume varies.
- IAT sensor provision: A connection for the factory intake air temperature sensor supports transfer of the original sensor during installation.
- Compact assembly: The intake tubing and filter assembly weighs approximately 4 lb, compared with approximately 7 lb for the factory airbox assembly; actual vehicle configuration can vary.

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is for owners of the Civic DX, LX, or CX configurations in the Fitment table who want to replace the stock intake assembly with a reusable-filter kit. Owners with an engine swap, a different throttle body, or altered intake connections should confirm their setup before ordering.
Check Before Ordering
- Confirm your Civic's year, trim, body style, and D16Y7 engine code. The engine code is stamped on the block below the exhaust manifold, near the oil filter.
- For a 1998 DX or a 1998–1999 LX, compare the stock air intake layout and hose connections with the kit before removing factory parts. Engine swaps and nonstandard intake hardware may change the installation.
- Transfer and connect the factory IAT sensor and breather hoses. Check every coupler and clamp for a secure seal before driving; a warning light can have several causes and requires diagnosis.
- Use the washable dry filter without oil. Inspect it more often in dusty conditions; avoid solvent cleaning or reinstalling it while wet.
- Avoid deep water crossings; water ingestion can cause hydrolock and engine damage.
- Check emissions rules where the vehicle will be used before purchasing.
