Short Ram Air Intake for Honda Civic (2016-2021) 1.5L Engine

Unleash the L15B7 Turbo: 2016-2021 Honda Civic 1.5L Short Ram Intake - Red

Who Is This For? Engineered for 10th Generation Honda Civic owners (EX, EX-L, Touring, and Sport Hatchback) running the 1.5L Turbo L15B7 engine who want to unlock aggressive turbo spool sounds, sharper throttle response, and a cleaner engine bay aesthetic for daily driving and spirited street use.

The Factory Intake Restriction: From the factory, your Civic is equipped with a restrictive plastic airbox and a dense paper filter designed more for silence than for flow. This creates a bottleneck for the L15B7 Earth Dreams engine, causing a slight delay in turbo spool-up and a disconnected feel when you mash the pedal. You’re left with a muted engine note and untapped potential hidden behind baffles and resonators.

The Engineering Solution: This Short Ram Air Intake replaces the entire factory assembly with a high-flow, mandrel-bent T-304 polished aluminum induction tube. By shortening the air path and using a massive, high-flow cone filter, we allow the turbocharger to pull in air with significantly less effort. The result is a 7–10% increase in horsepower and a 6–8% boost in torque, ensuring your Civic breathes deep and responds instantly to every input.

The Comparative Edge: Why This Beats the Competition

• The Power Gain: Delivers measurable performance increases across the mid-to-high RPM range, unlike generic "eBay" kits that often cause mass airflow sensor turbulence and check engine lights.
• Premium Material: Constructed from lightweight, polished T-304 Aluminum which dissipates heat faster than stock plastic and won’t crack or degrade over time like inferior rubber components.
• Serviceable Design: Features a washable and reusable cotton-element filter. Unlike the factory paper filter that you have to throw away every 15,000 miles, this high-flow unit can be cleaned and re-oiled for a lifetime of use.
