8thgen intake?

[12aay_e]

Are they compatible with our cars? MAF sensor they said looks the same? Have a friend selling a short ram that's why.


I've searched but no luck. If there is a thread, please delete this and PM the thread. Tapatalk search says none so ya I apologize if so.

8th gen si intakes do not work on the 9th gen Si, sorry.

What's the reason why they don't

It's tough to compare a 2 liter to a 2.4 liter in a different space. The engine compartment spacing / pipe routing is entire different etc..

the pipe even tapers in size

It's a short ram. Space doesn't matter? I'm asking about maf sensor housings. Is the hole the same or it's a totally different sensor

i just installed an 8th gen AEM cai on my 9th gen with rbc and YES it DOES work. It works very good in fact. the lower mount is slightly different but its an easy enough fix. its worlds better than the "pretzel" that i had on there before. Maf was a direct fit and the AEM pulls cold air from inside the fenderwell. http://www.amazon.com/AEM-AEM-21-685C-Cold-Intake-System/dp/B002WBIQF6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359009117&sr=8-1&keywords=2007 civic si aem

Awesome! Thank you for trying it!

Just put a short ram intake on from an 8th. Feels kinda laggy though once it hits 6-7k rpm's though. Feels good with throttle response and regular driving.

How did you do it? Was it difficult?
