π Your K-Series. Finally Breathing. The 2002-2005 Civic Si already makes the best Honda engine of the era. The K20A2 and K20A3 are legendary β but they're choking on a factory airbox that was designed for emissions compliance, not performance. Flashark's cold air intake frees your K-Series from that restriction: β +8-15 wheel horsepower (dyno-verified) β Sharper throttle response β VTEC hits harder β Increased induction note at high RPM β No CEL β precision MAF calibration β Direct bolt-on in 90 minutes The K-Series was built for this upgrade. Flashark just gives it the air it deserves. BEFORE YOU BUY β READ THIS β’ Stock ECU / No tune: β Fully compatible (MAF housing calibrated for K20A2/A3) β’ With bolt-ons (header, exhaust, pulley): β Gains stack with your existing mods β’ With Hondata/K-Pro tune: β Our intake works perfectly with reflashed ECUs β’ CARB compliance: β οΈ 2002-2005 Civic Si not CARB-exempt (off-road / track use only β not for street use in CA, NY, and other CARB states) Technical Specifications System Type: Cold Air Intake (CAI) Tubing Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum Tubing Finish: Polished / Black Powder Coat Tube Diameter: 76mm (3.0") β large bore throughout (no reducer) matches K-Series throttle body Air Filter: High-Flow Dry Air Filter (washable reusable) Filter Size: 4.5" diameter cone filter with integrated velocity stack Heat Shield: Included tucks behind the inner fender, pulls cold air from the wheel well MAF Housing: CNC-machined 76mm aluminum precise bore = no CEL on K-Series Couplers: Multi-ply silicone high-temp rated for turbo-style heat Clamps: Stainless steel T-bolt (all hardware) Intake Temp: Average 15-25Β°F cooler than ambient engine bay temps Installation: 100% Bolt-On, No welding, no drilling Hardware: All included (exact OEM replacement) Why Flashark? 5 Reasons 1οΈβ£ K-SERIES OPTIMIZED β NO CEL The K20A2/A3 is a high-revving VTEC engine that demands precise airflow measurement. Flashark's MAF housing is CNC-machined to exact 76mm tolerances β your factory ECU reads airflow perfectly without drama. β No check engine light β No reflash needed β VTEC engages cleanly every time 2οΈβ£ ALUMINUM TUBING vs. FACTORY PLASTIC BOX The factory intake box is molded from plastic, absorbing engine bay heat and restricting airflow through sharp bends and internal baffles. Flashark uses mandrel-bent 6061-T6 aluminum: β’ Smoother airflow path (no turbulence) β’ Rapid heat dissipation β’ Won't crack or degrade over time β’ Sounds incredible under VTEC pull 3οΈβ£ COLD AIR INTAKE β NOT HOT AIR INTAKE Position matters. Flashark's heat shield tucks behind the inner fender liner, pulling cold air from the wheel well β the coldest spot in the engine bay. This is the difference between a cold air intake and a hot air intake that just sounds cool. 4οΈβ£ BOLT-ON IN 90 MINUTES β NO MODIFICATIONS Designed specifically for the EM2 chassis. No cutting, no drilling, no custom fabrication. Tools needed: Basic hand tools (ratchet, 10mm/12mm sockets, screwdrivers). Estimated time: 90 minutes Quality Guarantee Warranty β CNC-Machined MAF Housing (no CEL, K-Series optimized) β 6061-T6 Mandrel-Bent Aluminum (superior to the factory plastic box) β Heat Shield Included (cold air from wheel well, not engine bay) β High-Flow Cotton Oiled Filter (washable β lasts the life of your Si) β Direct Bolt-On β No Modifications (OEM replacement, EM2-specific) β All Hardware amp; T-Bolt Clamps Included β Free US Shipping WARRANTY RETURNS π§ 2-Year Manufacturer's Warranty (defects in material and workmanship) β©οΈ 30-Day Return Window (uninstalled items β see returns page) π¬ US-Based Technical Support Mon-Fri 9 AM-6 PM EST support@flasharkracing.com Not sure if it fits your build?
