The Injen RD1540BLK is a black RD Series cold air intake for the 1.6-liter inline-four in 1996-2000 Honda Civic CX, DX and LX models. Injen bends its 6061-T6 aluminum tubing on a mandrel to keep the path smooth, and the seams are TIG welded for durability. The dry SuperNano-Web filter can be cleaned and reused rather than thrown away, and the replacement element is part number X-1012-BB.
The manufacturer says this kit adds power while keeping air-fuel ratios stable, so a buyer does not need a tune to run it. It carries CARB Executive Order D-476-3, which is the certification California buyers look for, and Injen backs the system with a lifetime warranty. The manufacturer does not publish a horsepower figure for this kit, so compare it with the stock airbox on the features listed here. Buyers searching for a 96-00 Civic 1.6 cold air intake with no tune and CARB approval will find those points addressed on this page.
The manufacturer lists this as a direct-fit application for the trims above, so confirm your Civic matches the 1.6L I4 before ordering. The kit can be ordered with a polished or black powder-coated finish, and the manufacturer also offers an optional hydroshield in black (1033BLK) or red (1033RED). Installation on these Civics typically involves removing the stock airbox and intake tube, so plan for a driveway project with basic hand tools.
