The 1992-1995 Honda Civic (EG chassis) and 1993-1997 Del Sol are among the most modified platforms in existence, but the factory intake on these cars has not aged well. The stock airbox uses a ribbed plastic intake tube with internal turbulence ridges, a restrictive paper panel filter, and a snorkel that pulls warm air from behind the headlight. On a D15B7 or D16Z6 that's already working with modest displacement, every restriction matters.

The Flashark cold air intake replaces the entire factory assembly with a mandrel-bent, black powder-coated aluminum intake pipe, a high-flow red dry-cone filter, and a powder-coated steel heat shield. The aluminum pipe maintains a full 2.75" internal bore through every bend — no crush points, no ribbing, no turbulence. The dry media filter is washable and reusable, capturing 95%+ of particulates without the maintenance overhead of oiled cotton gauze. The heat shield isolates the filter from radiant engine-bay heat using factory bolt locations.

 rebuilding toward an I/H/E setup, tuning the car, or wanting maximum power and consistency regardless of weather and traffic. The∗∗ShortRam intake (58.00) keeps the filter in the engine bay on a shorter pipe for a 30-minute bolt-on install, louder in-cabin intake sound, and zero water ingestion concern — the better choice for a daily driver where simplicity and sound are the priority.

Bottom line: Long Ram for max power under all conditions; Short Ram for simpler install and louder sound without touching the bumper.

Key Features

1. Mandrel-Bent Black Powder-Coated Aluminum Intake Pipe T-6061 aluminum with a durable black powder-coated finish — resists heat, corrosion, and oxidation far better than polished aluminum.

2. High-Flow Red Dry Cone Filter Washable, reusable dry filter — no oil required. This is a dry media filter, not cotton gauze. High-flow pleated element with reinforced mesh backing.

3. Heat Shield (Included) Powder-coated steel heat shield isolates the filter from engine bay radiant heat — especially important for the Short Ram version, where the filter sits in the bay. Rubber edge trim seals against the hood when closed. Uses factory bolt locations, no drilling.

4. Direct Bolt-On Design Designed specifically for the EG Civic and Del Sol D-series engine bay. The MAF sensor bung is pre-welded at the correct position. No cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications. Reuses factory mounting points.
