I know.. I never installed it.. Not sure if you read my other reply; MAF housing was too big for me just to slap it on..... If it was idenitcal to oem then i would try it out (but still verify how it effected trims)The problem with the DIY home intakes is that there is far more to intake design than just slapping a air filter on the end of some tubing. When we're designing intakes here at the shop, we're changing pipe ID size and also the height of the MAF pad itself, just to tune the fuel trims while optimizing power output. I haven't even touched on our patented air fusion design to help the tuning process as well. Honestly, you can throw a DIY intake or a cheap Ebay intake in your car and lose significant power or even pop your engine from a lean condition. Sometimes that extra $100 spent is well worth the development time that went into a professionally made intake system.
I guess one way to get exact MAF is buy a oem intake box and cut out the housing....
The civic is the family hauler...decided not to modify.. A tune is good enough.
