aFe Performance Intake DirectFit 2022+ Honda Civic 1.5T Red

Performance air intake — aFe Performance Intake DirectFit 2022+ Honda Civic 1.5T Red designed to increase engine breathing with a measured 50.7% reduction in intake restriction for improved responsiveness and sustained turbo efficiency.

This intake is engineered as a direct-fit solution for the 2022+ Honda Civic 1.5T Si, delivering plug-and-play installation without modifications. Built to work specifically with the turbocharged 1.5T platform, the system focuses on airflow optimization and reliability under repeated use.

• Direct-fit design — ensures correct alignment and sealing with factory mounting points for straightforward installation and consistent fitment.
• 50.7% reduction in restriction — a quantified decrease in intake restriction that allows the turbo system to draw air more freely, supporting improved transient response and sustained performance under load.
• High-flow intent — engineered to complement turbo upgrade strategies and performance exhaust systems by reducing intake-side airflow bottlenecks.
• Application-specific tuning — designed for the 2022+ Honda Civic 1.5T Si to preserve factory engine bay packaging while providing a targeted airflow improvement.
• Visual finish — finished in red to match show-quality engine bay aesthetics while maintaining functional performance.
• Brand-backed engineering — offered by Mishimoto, a supplier known for motorsports-grade thermal and airflow products, emphasizing tested durability and application expertise.

Why this matters: reducing intake restriction by a measured 50.7% lowers the work the turbocharger and engine must do to ingest air, improving throttle response and supporting more consistent boost behavior during spirited driving or when combined with other turbo upgrade components.

Installation notes: as a direct-fit intake, the system installs using existing mounting points and is intended to integrate with stock engine management without physical modifications to the vehicle intake tract. Use with compatible performance exhaust and tune strategies as required by your build goals.
