This Mishimoto intake fixes that: 42% less restriction, a measured 16.7 whp and 20.1 wtq, and it does it while keeping safe air-fuel ratios on the stock tune, no remap needed. You get real power, a genuinely aggressive intake tone, and it's CARB-legal, so California owners can run it too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eReal Power, No Tune\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gains are the headline, and they're honest dyno numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis intake makes a measured \u003cstrong\u003e16.7 whp and 20.1 wtq\u003c\/strong\u003e over stock, real power from the K20C1, which responds well to better airflow. That's meaningful on an intake, not a token bump, and the torque gain especially changes how the car pulls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJust as important, it makes that power \u003cstrong\u003ewhile holding safe air-fuel ratios on the factory tune\u003c\/strong\u003e. No remap required, and no check engine light, because the MAF housing was engineered specifically to keep the fuel trims where the stock ECU expects them. That's the hard part of an intake done right, and it's why this one just works out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Silicone Elbow Replaces A Real Restriction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where a big chunk of the flow gain comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory intake hose is an accordion-style piece, that ribbed, flexible shape creates turbulence and restricts airflow right before it reaches the turbo. Mishimoto replaced it with a \u003cstrong\u003e5-layer silicone elbow reinforced with steel wire\u003c\/strong\u003e and heat-resistant fibers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel reinforcement matters: it keeps the hose from collapsing or ballooning under the boost the K20C1 makes, so it holds its shape and its flow under load. The new elbow is also larger in diameter with a smooth interior, which is a big contributor to the full system's 42% flow increase over the stock airbox, filter, and elbow combined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSealed Airbox, Keeps The Cold Air\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe airbox design is smarter than just \"bigger.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epowder-coated black steel airbox\u003c\/strong\u003e is enclosed, so it keeps hot engine-bay air away from the filter, feeding the turbo cooler, denser air. That sealing is what separates a real intake from an open cone filter that heat-soaks and loses power the harder you drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCleverly, it \u003cstrong\u003eretains the factory rubber snorkel\u003c\/strong\u003e, which connects to the dedicated cold-air channel built into the FK8's hood. So the airbox is still drawing cold air from the front of the car through the hood's intake duct, exactly as Honda intended, just feeding a larger, freer-flowing filter. You get the cooler air and the bigger filter both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eEngineered MAF Housing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe part that makes it tune-free and trouble-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MAF sensor measures incoming air so the ECU can set the fuel mixture, and a housing that flows air differently than the sensor expects causes bad readings, drivability problems, and check engine lights, the classic sign of a cheap intake. Mishimoto's \u003cstrong\u003eCNC aluminum MAF housing\u003c\/strong\u003e is precision-adjusted to increase flow while keeping the airflow characteristics the MAF sensor needs, so the car reads correctly, stays in safe fuel trim, and runs CEL-free on the stock tune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCARB-Legal\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant for California and other emissions-checked states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis intake is \u003cstrong\u003eCARB compliant and comes with a CARB sticker\u003c\/strong\u003e (EO# D-759-8), so it's 50-state legal and will pass a visual emissions inspection. A lot of intakes aren't CARB-legal, which makes them a problem in California, this one isn't, so you can run it and stay compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eOEM+ Look\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-black color scheme, powder-coated airbox, black silicone elbow, and black mounting hardware, keeps a clean, factory-plus look under the hood rather than shouting for attention. It looks like it belongs on the car. And the freer-flowing path gives you an aggressive intake tone under acceleration, so you hear the turbo and induction the sealed factory box muffles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout The Filter\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses a Mishimoto high-flow oiled filter, which flows well and cleans up nicely. Standard oiled-filter upkeep applies: clean and re-oil it every 10,000 to 15,000 miles under normal driving, more often in dusty conditions. Worth noting the re-oil service isn't covered under warranty, though the intake itself is, for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's In The Box\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSteel airbox (powder-coated black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWire-reinforced silicone intake elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCNC aluminum MAF housing and gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMishimoto high-flow oiled filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWorm gear clamps and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8, K20C1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart number MMAI-CTR-17.
