2006-2011 Honda Civic Si Skunk2 Composite Cold Air intake sk343-05-0100
Skunk2 drew upon its experience and longstanding technical partnership
with championship-winning Compass360 Racing when developing its all-new
Cold-Air Intake for the ’06-’11 Civic Si. The results are the best
performing, best fitting intake system available.
Skunk2’s
Cold-Air Intake is manufactured from molded polymer plastic for superior
intake air insulation when compared to aluminum as well as for a
smooth, continuous taper. When compared to aluminum, the thicker polymer
material results in a superior thermal barrier and lower intake air
temperatures. Each kit includes a 3.5-inch internal diameter lower tube
and a tapered, 3.5-inch to 3.0-inch internal diameter upper tube that
connects to the factory throttle body with a high-quality, silicone
connector (larger
diameter connector for use with Skunk2 throttle bodies or similar sold
separately). The two-piece design and supplied MAF sensor adapter allows
for compatibility with vehicles utilizing the factory ECU. A silicone
coupler featuring a smooth, tapered transition between the two tubes is
also included for vehicles equipped with aftermarket engine management
systems that don’t utilize MAF sensors.
In an effort to reduce
the possibility of submerging the air filter during wet conditions,
Skunk2’s design positions the air filter downward-facing for
approximately two inches of additional ground clearance when compared to
competitors’ designs that locate the air filter from the side. That,
combined with a design that doesn’t require cutting or modifying the
factory fender liners, greatly reduces the chances of water entering the
intake during wet conditions.
Each Cold-Air Intake kit
includes relocation hardware for the battery, ECU, fuse box, and cooling
system reservoir tank as well as high-quality stainless steel clamps
and mounting hardware. Unlike other intake systems, only Skunk2’s unique
design and brackets allow for the OEM battery to be retained. A
specially shaped, silicone upper radiator hose is also included with
each kit to ensure maximum clearance for the intake tubing and proper
fitment.
Skunk2 developed its unique Cold-Air Intake system in
2009 for back-to-back Grand-Am champions and racing partners Compass360
Racing. Now that the team is retiring its eighth-generation Civic race
cars, we can finally release this race-proven technology to enthusiasts.
