Best cold air intake for 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback

[Borges]

Any suggestions for a cold air intake for my 2017 hatchback? Also any other mods youd do right away? Just got the car last week

Are you going for sound or performance? FYI the stock intake has been proven to not be a limiting factor if you are on the stock turbo.

For performance. So the stock intake is good as it is? Won't be a huge difference to get something else? I am running stock turbo

yep, don't waste your money, unless you want the whoosh, even the DP shows minimal gains, it's best to get a custom tune.

How much does that usually cost

I think you can send off your ecu and have it done with an off the shelf tune for under $300. You are better off buying Hondata FlashPro or Ktuner and working with a tuner for a custom tune for your car, which would cost more like $650-850 all in. Right now a tune is the only way to get any real gains with the 1.5T.

Any other things interior or exterior you'd get? I already got clear bra and I'm getting tint tomorrow.

I'm still on the hunt for my 6MT hatch but my first mods will be tint, clear side markers, and a tune from Vit Viper. I plan on replacing the audio system in it's entirety with a setup I already own. I'll also probably put on some decent summer tires and get rid of the OEM all seasons.

Hell yeah! Sounds good!

I heard that the Progress 20.5mm Rear Sway Bar is a good upgrade too. Check this out:

I'm interested in the whoosh. Anyone know which has the loudest whoosh sound?

Any intake will give you that whoosh sound. Just do not get a bov. Known to make the cars run rich. I have an injen short ram I have for sale in the classifieds now for pretty cheap if your interested

Yep ... I got a Boomba vent2atmosphere BOV and was/is extremely disappointed.
If it sounded better, I would've dealt with the rich conditions, but
looking at my oil yesterday, I decided to put the stock one back on.
Rich conditions with direct injection equals = extremely diluted engine oil.
I'll check out your listing in the classifieds.

I got the whiteline 22mm rear sway bar along with 18/8.5 +30 ESR rims with 235/40s and it really hugs the road.thought I might have to worry about the back end coming around on me with the increase in rear swaybar but it really holds well and feels more stable at speeds between 40-75 mph. havent tried it on any corner speeds over that

I will probably catch some flak over this, but none are good in my opinion. I personally think cold intakes are junk. Maybe if you are doing several other mods, it is worth it. And that is slightly. But by themselves? No way. The claims about breathability come with a cost. If it is making it more breathable, it's also letting in more dirt. I think honda got it right with the current setup. I say all of this as a guy whose old man is a 30 year mechanic and I work on my own stuff myself. That is just my own personal experience and opinion with cold air intakes
