You will have to modify almost any "universal" kit. We really can't tell you what you'll have to modify since we don't know what motor you have, size of your intercooler etc etc.

Honestly, piping is piping. Especially since the charge piping doesn't get extremely hot, which does cause cracks in the eBay exhaust manifolds and such. You can pick up an eBay CAI for a Civic for like $45, just throw away the filter it comes with, use a K&N or Dryflow, and you're set.

I see nothing wrong with eBay charge piping.

ebay charge piping works fine, its great for turbo applications and like cvcrcr99 said, for just a simple cai or sri.

its not rocket science to get these kits to work. its pretty plain and simple. intercooler piping is the easiest part of it all. what is wrong with this site now i remember people on here used to use their brains
