Coupler
Big-Bore Throttle Body To Cold Air Intake
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.
Skunk2s 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 connectors 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 dont utilize MAF sensors.
In an effort to reduce the possibility of submerging the air
filter during wet conditions, Skunk2s 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
doesnt 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 Skunk2s 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.
