hey eveyone.<P>i saw on ebay a front mounted intake for a civic. i was wondering if this would fit on my 95 rs. i would use just the filter, and get my own custom piping. right now i have a ractive filter with heat shield, and tubing running down by bumper. would the front mounted one make better performance? here is a link to ebay. <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 1836029086" TARGET=_blank>civic font mounted intake</A><BR>thanks<BR>dominic

unless you like the front mount intake, i'd just get a CAI.

w/ custom piping it will work.

will it be more powerful than what i have now?

love how people watch fast adn the furious, and then think a CAI actually really helps our cars. In case your wondering it doesnt really do anyhting but make a noise, if thats cool wtih you, buy it..

what makes say that??? Its a well proven fact(dyno #'s) that a c.a.i. will ADD power to almost every car. There is how ever a lot of hype and a lot of people are disapointed because they expected the diference to be night and day.

i love it when people come here and slam others yet they themselves don't know what they are talking about. in case you were wondering, a cai does work. a cai pulls in cooler air from outside the engine bay, unlike stock and "warm" air intakes which pull air from inside the engine bay. cooler air has a higer density than warm air(more oxygen molecules per unit of volume than warm air of the same volume). when the air meter reads that more air is coming in, it adds more fuel. more fuel + more air= more hp. granted, not all cai kits work the same. it also depends on where you are, and the outside airtemp. but on average, a cai performs better than a warm air intake.

You are correct.

thanks for the help guys, but do u think this will make more performance than what i have now. ractive heatshild filter with piping running down by bumper.<P>dominic

a cai and a ram air setup are essentially the same. but i personally don't like the look of the ractive ram air. the cai looks a lot cleaner to me.
