Air Filter for 2017 Honda Civic EX-T

[Gager122]

I was wondering what would be a good option for a 2017 Honda Civic EX-T Coupe. I’m not looking for power gains just a better sound per say and air flow. Any risks when doing this to a car, just bought the car last week and this is my first Honda that’s worth some money. Last car in mine was a Jaguar and I never did anything to it because of the fact parts were pricy.

Plenty of options. I’m probably forgetting a few but here is a list

Oiled	Dry	Foam
K&N 33-5044	AEM Dryflow 28-50044	HKS Super 70017-AH118
aFe Pro 5R 30-10267	aFe Pro Dry S 31-10267	ITG WB-300
Green Filter #7323	Blitz SUS Power LM 59638
BMC FB945/01	Sprint P1078S

Any of what The Vyzitor Mentioned would be appropriate for your car and it wouldn't put your car in any particular risk(s).

From my own personal experience, the K&N 33-5044 did wonders to the car as it allowed it flow a bit better and you can hear the induction a quite a bit as well. (dont expect too much from simply changing a filter however.... keep that in mind).

Now if you want more flow, more induction sound, and more overall performance, you'll have to upgrade that part to an aftermarket Cold Air Intake or Short Ram Intake... or which ever variant of the two that they have on the market. But when you do that, this is where you'll put your car in more of a risky situation (if any... minuscule to say the least).

I switched to the K&N filter on my 17 EXT. In fact I just did maintenance on the filter last weekend for the first time. It provides a bit more induction sound, and dyno tests on Youtube Engineering Explained show it adds about 3% to power. I tell myself that I feel it in a more robust throttle response.

Thank you very much!

Spearhead cabin air filter can be a good option. It is 2x heavier than the standard cabin filters. It uses thick, industrial-strength electrostatic media to trap the tiniest of particles.

In the past I used 3 cones K&N on my last 3 cars, the last one slightly start to deteriorate after 10-11 years !!! I sent 2 picture to K&N and few days after I got a brand new one warranty free!!! With oil filter you will need to re-oil it so it take a bit of time just be sure not to make it dripping oil. I also had for 2 years an AEM dry Flow and it was pretty good I dont know what happen after that , I sold that car Im going to buy an AEM Dry flow for my CivicCoupe until I decide if I'll install or not and coldair intake ... I never try the others brands ... and btw K&N own AEM ...

Wrong filter type. He is asking for an engine filter, not a cabin filter.

I put in an AEM Dryflow after worrying about the K&N oil filters clogging my MAF. I had a K&N on my previous Civic. My AEM filter upped the induction noise a whole lot in addition to the PRL Silicone hose.

I’ve bought a few of the filters I listed and my preferred filter so far is the HKS Super. The induction noise is noticeable and it seems like it filters well. The top/engine side of the filter is clean, and I notice no fine dust in the top half of the air box or within the MAF housing. Since the HKS Super Hybrid isn’t officially available for our cars, I’m actually planning to use a Super Hybrid replacement element cut to fit in the Super frame just to test it out.

The aFe Pro Dry S was well made filter but didn’t seem to make much of a difference compared to OEM. I went back to OEM after a few weeks. Maybe a hair better throttle response but not enough to be worth it.

I also have a new PRL/Green Filter and new AEM Dryflow, both that I haven’t used yet. I haven’t used a K&N in years. Last two cars I had a K&N intake on, I ended up using a different brand cone filter on the K&N intake, and threw the K&N cone away.

Ah man, should've read that before purchasing the AEM. That's good to know in the future though. I think after this if I decide to mess with the intake I'd go CAI with the 27WON CAI.

I did notice a bit more pep with the Silicon hose though, but all of this could've been in my head since while I was putting all this in, my TSP tune was being applied as well.
