The Injen IS1670BLK is a short ram intake built for the 1998-2002 Honda Accord L4 2.3L. The manufacturer describes it as a direct-fit system, and its intake tube is Premium Mandrel-Bent 6061-T6 Aluminum Tubing, which the maker says is built for durability. The kit also includes a reusable Injen SuperNano-Web dry filter that can be cleaned and serviced rather than replaced. Injen says this is a Provides power gains while maintaining A/F ratios with no additional tuning, so you keep your factory calibration. Choose this over a bargain intake if you want a fitted, aluminum tube rather than a generic pipe. Owners on user forums are realistic about gains on these engines, though, and most expect the biggest benefit when the intake is paired with other bolt-ons. Search terms this kit targets include 98-02 Accord 2.3 short ram intake, F23A1 cold air intake, and no tune required Accord intake.
Fitment is the key decision point. This is the four-cylinder kit; Injen's V6 short ram for the 3.0L is a separate part number. Buyers who own a 2.3L and want a drop-in, black-finished upgrade will find that the wrinkle black powder-coat matches the stock engine bay. Installation is a bolt-on job that uses the factory airbox location. Plan on basic hand tools and a little patience with the factory clamps.
No. The manufacturer lists this kit for the 1998-2002 Honda Accord L4-2.3L. Injen sells a separate short ram intake for the 1998-2002 Accord V6-3.0L, and the manufacturer's catalog lists different kits for other four-cylinder years.
The manufacturer states that this kit is built to fit without a tune and is designed to maintain air/fuel ratios with no additional tuning.
Yes. The manufacturer describes the Injen SuperNano-Web dry filter as fully serviceable, and it lists X-1014-BB as the replacement filter part number.
Owners on user forums describe the swap for this 98-02 Accord as a straightforward bolt-on. The usual steps are to remove the 10mm bolts holding the airbox, take the top off the filter box, loosen the clamp at the throttle body, disconnect the hoses, and lift the stock intake out. Basic hand tools are generally enough. Leave the new clamps and couplers loose until everything is seated, then tighten them. Injen does not require a tune for this kit, but check your hose routing and sensor connections before you start the engine.
