AEM Cold Air Intake Gives 2016 Civic 2.0L a Fast & Furious Boost
- Jun 23, 2016
The Honda Civic is designed to be many things to many people. For some, it's a comfortable commuter, a reliable family car, and a faithful road trip partner. For others, it's a status symbol or a blank canvas from which to create the ultimate self-expression. The latest 10th generation 2016 Honda Civic 2.0L continues on this versatile theme, with a wide array of body styles and stylish trim options. You can get a Fast & Furious-ready 2016 Civic Coupe to impress all your friends at the school/Pep Boys parking lot. Or you can get a 2016 Civic EX Sedan with high-end features like keyless ignition and autonomous braking. Under the hood is a standard 2.0L DOHC 4-cylinder that makes a stout 158-hp and 138 lb-ft of torque. New lightweight construction means all that power won't go to waste, but you can get an estimated 7-hp increase by adding an AEM 21-792C performance cold air intake system.

New lightweight construction means all that power won't go to waste, but you can get an estimated 7-hp increase by adding an AEM 21-792C performance cold air intake system. The AEM 21-792C performance cold air intake system increases the volume of cold air by replacing the stock air box with an oversized AEM DryFlow synthetic air filter, surrounded by a heat shield that seals against the underside of the hood to prevent warm engine air from entering the system. The high-flow AEM air filter removes significantly more dirt from the air than a paper filter, and it won't have to be cleaned for up to 100,000 miles (depending on road conditions). That clean air then gets channeled to the throttle body through a wide-diameter AEM intake tube, which is made from mandrel bent aluminum to eliminate airflow restrictions and turbulence. It also has integrated fittings for the mass airflow sensor and crankcase vent tube, so no modifications will be required, and installation will only take about 90 minutes.
To verify the performance benefits of the AEM 21-792C performance cold air intake system, AEM installed one on a stock 2016 Honda Civic 2.0L. Dyno testing revealed an estimated increase of 7-hp and 7 lb-ft of torque. However, your individual results may vary, due to the mileage, modifications and condition of your specific Civic. Either way, your Honda Civic 2.0L will respond faster to throttle inputs, due to the additional air volume. AEM also makes an entire line of Honda Civic performance parts, which you can view by entering your year/make/model into the vehicle search tool, or you can find an AEM dealer near you by using the dealer locator tool.
