Product Specifications
2001-2005 Honda Civic 1.7L L4 MT Cold Air Intake Kit
A manual-transmission 2001-2005 Honda Civic 1.7L responds well to better airflow, and this Flashark cold air intake kit delivers it with black powder-coated aluminum piping and a reusable red cone filter. Swapping out the factory airbox and intake tube lets the 1.7L D17 four-cylinder pull in more cool air, which sharpens throttle response and gives the car a deeper, more aggressive induction note under acceleration.
Typical intake-only gains for this application are approximately 5-10 hp and 6-8% torque, and the biggest day-to-day change usually comes from the sharper throttle and the sound rather than peak power. The kit installs with common hand tools in under 60 minutes, and fuel economy may improve slightly under steady driving.

Key Features
- Aluminum intake tube: Lightweight aluminum piping built for strength and durability in a high-flow, racing-style layout.
- Sharper throttle response: Helps the engine draw in more, cooler air for better throttle response and stronger top-end output.
- High-efficiency filtration: The cone filter is rated for up to 95% filtration efficiency on incoming air.
- Under 60-minute install: Bolts on with common hand tools, so the swap can be finished in under an hour.
- Washable, reusable filter: Micro cotton gauze media rinses clean with water or mild soap and can be reused instead of replaced.
- Expected output range: Approximately 5-10 hp and 6-8% torque, with a deeper, more aggressive intake sound under acceleration.
Who This Kit Is For
This Flashark cold air intake replaces the factory airbox and intake tube on 2001-2005 Honda Civic 1.7L four-cylinder models with a manual transmission. It suits owners who want sharper throttle response, a deeper intake tone under acceleration, and a washable filter they clean instead of replace.
For you if:
- You drive a 2001-2005 Civic with the 1.7L engine and a manual transmission.
- You want a first bolt-on upgrade that runs on hand tools and finishes in under an hour.
- You prefer a reusable washable filter over disposable paper elements.
- You want a more aggressive induction sound without changing the exhaust.
Not for you if:
- Your Civic is an automatic — this kit is built for manual-transmission cars only.
- You drive a 2002-2005 Civic Si, which uses a 2.0L K-series engine and needs its own intake.
- You need a factory-style replacement filter or hose instead of a performance intake.
- You plan deep-water crossings without relocating the filter higher.
- You expect a large peak-power jump from an intake on a naturally aspirated 1.7L.

Check Before Ordering
- Vehicle and transmission: This kit fits 2001-2005 Honda Civic 1.7L L4 models with a manual transmission. Automatic Civics use different intake routing, brackets, hoses, and clearance, so they are not covered. If your car is not covered, message us before ordering, or browse the rest of our Honda cold air intake kits.
- Intake type: This is a Cold Air Intake kit that replaces the factory airbox and the intake tube ahead of the throttle body. The factory intake manifold stays bolted to the engine. If you are weighing an open short-ram setup against a cold air setup, our short ram vs cold air intake Civic comparison covers the real differences in heat soak and power.
- Filter and maintenance: The kit uses a red micro cotton gauze cone filter that can be washed with water or mild soap and reused. Rinse it when dirt builds up between the pleats, let it dry completely, and reinstall it before driving.
- Sensors and connections: The kit is designed so the factory intake-air sensor and breather hoses reconnect at their original locations. Confirm every clamp is tight and every vacuum or breather line is connected before start-up.
- Emissions: This kit carries no CARB Executive Order number, so it is not street-legal for sale or use in California and other CARB-adopting states. Check your state and local rules before ordering — see the Compliance Notice below.
- Install space and water: Install takes common hand tools and under 60 minutes, and access through the bumper or inner-fender area may be needed depending on the final filter position. The filter sits low enough that deep water crossings can draw water into the engine, so avoid deep puddles and flooded roads unless you relocate the filter higher.
