PDF - 2016-2021 Honda Civic 1.5T Cobra Cold Air Intake System Install Instructions (Big Bore)

Important Notes:

  • BIG BORE MAF-SPECIFIC ECU CALIBRATION IS REQUIRED FOR BIG BORE MAF HOUSING
  • BIG BORE MAF BASEMAP CALIBRATIONS AVAILABLE IN BOTH HONDATA & KTUNER
  • TWO STEP PERFORMANCE "TSP" & PHEARABLE CALIBRATIONS COMPATIBLE BY SELECTING "RACE MAF" OPTION
  • NOT COMPATIBLE WITH FACTORY CVT COOLER (SPAIN, TURKEY, ETC)

Technical Notes:

There’s a reason our Cobra Cold Air Intake Systems is a constant topic of discussion and so highly regarded. Our CNC machined billet aluminum MAF Housing was designed to provide *factory-spec fuel trims (-4% of factory STFT & LTFT) for optimal drivability and performance. The Cobra CAI utilizes a 4" volume from the air filter into the MAF Housing and is available with two different MAF housing choices; a Standard Bore housing and a Big Bore housing. Both housings utilizes the factory MAF sensor, but feature two different diameters and profiles. As mentioned above, the Standard Bore housing is designed to provide factory-spec fuel trims WITHOUT any tuning whatsoever. The Big Bore housing allows a 50% larger volume of air in comparison to the Standard Bore housing, which is why a tune IS required. This larger volume of airflow reduces pumping loss and creates an unrestricted air path to feed the MAF housing with ambient temperature air.

Customers can switch between MAF housings without having to buy another intake system by purchasing our MAF Housing Conversion Kit

Customers can convert to a Short Ram Intake with our Short Ram Intake Conversion Kit

Notice how consistent and similar all of the LTFT graphs are. Each graph is within -4 LTFT.

Lily E. ★★★★★

The turbo spool is way more audible now and throttle response feels sharper on my 2019 Sport hatch. Fits fine with the Honda Sensing package, no issues there. Took me a little over an hour in the driveway.

Carter J. ★★★★★

Installed this on my 2018 Civic CVT and the throttle response is noticeably sharper. Everything lined up with the Honda Sensing package without any fitment issues. Intake sound is nice and subtle until you get on it.

Emma R. ★★★★★

Took a chance on this since I've got the CVT and the Honda Sensing package, and it bolted right on without any fitment headaches. The big bore design gives a deeper intake note under throttle, and install was surprisingly straightforward for a Saturday morning.
