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 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 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.
