Description
The Mishimoto MMAI-CIV-16RD is a direct-fit performance air intake system engineered specifically for the 2016-2021 Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo (engine code L15B7). Built around a steel wire reinforced silicone intake arm, a black-powdercoated steel airbox, and a CNC-machined aluminum MAF housing with a venturi-style inlet, this cold air intake was designed in Delaware, USA to bolt on with the stock tune and produce a noticeably more aggressive intake tone under acceleration and boost.
As an air intake system, the MMAI-CIV-16RD is built to replace airflow restrictions found in the factory setup with a smoother path from the front of the vehicle to the throttle body. The steel wire reinforced silicone hose helps keep intake air temperatures under control compared to an aluminum-only design, while the enclosed, powder-coated airbox shields the Mishimoto high-flow oiled cotton air filter from underhood heat and takes advantage of the stock air diverter beneath the hood to reduce the chance of hydrolock thanks to its placement closer to the hood. Drivers searching for a cold air intake, air intake filter, or cool air intake upgrade for their turbocharged Civic will find this kit delivers dyno-proven maximum gains of up to 9 whp and 10 wtq on the stock tune, all from a complete bolt-on air intake filter package rather than a piecemeal cold air induction setup.
