PRL High Volume Intake [HVI] Install & Review 2022-2024 Civic 2.0

[@abraham3981]

I like the attention to detail and the amount of work you put into your videos. Great content for folks who own Hondas and even for all other car enthusiasts.

[@McDzy]

its always a good day when NAUS download some premium content

[@stevenr1354]

I may have mentioned this before but the Road and Track article "The 2016 Honda Civic Coupe Is All You Need" talking about the NA 2 liter and manual transmission combination summarizes the appeal of your car. Future classic.

[@norbertorosado6016]

Another high quality video. I appreciate all of the additional commentary. I’m always learning something new about my car from your videos. Keep up the great work. Cheers!

[@CrossKnight]

Your videos are so well edited and professional. I love your details/input and deviation from other youtubers. This motivates me to some how add more engine/induction noise instead of a loud exhaust to my 22 Corolla Hatchback 6MT.

[@NAUS2K]

Thank you I appreciate those info words / feedback! Comments like this make me keep doing this kinda stuff

[@pedroc6823]

looks a Looks stock in the bay, I like it. Just enough to make you smile.

[@albertthe3rd904]

I don’t even have this car but I enjoy watching your videos because of your ability to explain in detail and accurately what you’re doing.

[@GenesisBRZ86]

Some vestiges of the old Honda are still alive! Thanks to your videos, I ended up with a 24 Sport hatch...with the CVT. At least it's the same color. I love the car. So far so good. The only big issue I had was self-inflicted. When I replaced the reverse and turn signal bulbs (the same ones used on my 10th gen), I ended up popping two fuses on the BCM, which freaked out the car. What's worse, whoever did a hard reset failed to tighten the positive cable. Either way, Im happy with mine.

[@eric9249]

I give you a thumbs up for your presentation! After watching, I don't think I'd bother with any intake on this car. The OEM piece seems well designed to me, and, I can't pick up a significant difference in tone! The only mods I'm contemplating is a 93 octane tune and possibly lowering it an inch. When I destroy the OEM wheels, (inevitable on NYC roads), I will upgrade to a lower weight wheel/tire combo. End of mods for this car!

[@thumperjr100]

I think it sounds pretty darn good compared to stock (prior to your first mod). Fun car, especially with manuel trans. I have a 2024 Si as my daily. My Ford Raptor is my Sunday drive vehicle. Great content, enjoy the channel.

[@ashishshrestha9805]

Hy NAUS! I just got brand new 2024 honda civic sport hatchback (automatic) today in sonic gray. I was looking for a sedan. But as every guy that looks for the reviews video before buying anything, I came to your vids and watching your car, the hatchback really grew on me. let’s hope I don’t have to face the hatch leak or bolt loose of the transmission in future 😅. But anyway I’ll be watching your video for any mod’s I’ll adding on car.

[@michaelmurdock3366]

I bought and installed the K&N typhoon intake for the 11th gen 2.0 and I absolutely love it, it’s open box unlike the PRL and a little cheaper at 300 dollars, sounds amazing

[@MaybeHashi]

Just installed the custom resonator plugs you sent me, thanks a bunch they were a perfect fit! Great idea to keep it clean in case I want to go back to factory. Now I’m installing the prl intake, wish me luck. Thanks!!

[@NAUS2K]

Awesome glad to hear! Best of luck!

[@CP2Ty]

Can’t wait for the Ktuner vid

[@eric9249]

I've been hoping for the same! Other Ktuner vids I watch - I can't get past the 1 minute mark!!!

[@jaymingles]

Right now I have the Stage 1 intake kit from PRL (which is the same as this, but it only comes with the inlet hose and upgraded drop in filter) and the stock resonator deleted. I was thinking of upgrading to the PRL HVI box and cone filter since you can buy all the parts separately on their website, but if it's only a slight bump in intake noise, I'm gonna pass for now. Thanks for sharing and making my decision easier!

[@NAUS2K]

Yeah, imo keep your setup, not worth the extra money . Be mindful of that oiled air filter though. I’d consider going back to an oem style filter if I were you

[@jaymingles]

I'm actually gonna drop the stock one back in for now. Didn't realize how sketchy the oiled filters were. It made no difference in the induction noise anyway. Only the inlet tubing changed the sound a bit.

[@JT-dm1cs]

I don't have this car, but I love the content! keep up the good work!

[@Michigander-5.3]

You should do a oil change DIY video!!! Great video my man👍

[@DivRogue]

Great channel. I have the exact same car so I love watching these videos

[@s13gouf60]

Good move on the dryflow filter. Maf sensors are very easy to fowl with an even slightly over oiled filter. I wish the kit came with a hinge on the box for easier filter change.

[@denttime]

I just changed the air filter itself and saved myself all the fluff. But I get it. People want it to look like it makes a difference. Great video as always. - by the way don’t get an oiled air filter - specially you turbo civics. 😉

[@juddosborne305]

Clean install

[@NAUS2K]

Thank you!

[@stevenr1354]

Great video. All meat, no filler 👏👏👏

[@NAUS2K]

That’s my style!

[@brenthall6554]

The next time you have the airbox out, do yourself a favor and change the trans fluid to Ravenol MTF-2. Much easier to shift when cold, and when warm, the shifter clicks into gear much smoother than whatever Honda puts in.

[@ajuarez]

Is this intake good for CVT as well? Or is is more for manual transmissions? Thanks

[@jayplay8197]

Definitely looking forward the the flex update through the winter.

[@NAUS2K]

I recently installed a PRL rear engine mount so there is much less flex, but I will still keep Everyone updated !

[@AP1GO9K]

Should swap a K24 in there haha

[@zuggerat89]

Then we could call it an siR!

[@mikea5205]

Actually all you probably need is the block itself. Knowing Honda, I'm positive some version of the K24 would fit perfectly in this.

[@amshootez]

Very organized, well thought out install. The air filter you spec’d is a must do, thank you! Are you doing anything with exhaust? I’m considering a cat-back system, with a glass resonator. Maybe I’ll get 160 BPH - lol!

[@NAUS2K]

If someone came out with a clean single exit and quite deep mature tone I’d consider it. Problem is no one has made a rear diffuser to support a clean single exit yet . People that hang the cans under the stock rear sport diffuser I think is hideous

[@chaz9675]

[@benbryceholden1]

Nice install, doesn’t look too hard 👍

[@scottmallory3507]

Thanks for another great video with easy to follow instructions. Switching out the included filter for the upgraded one for more protection and to prevent rusting is very wise! Did you ever do this mod on your 8th gen civic?

[@NAUS2K]

My 8thgen civic had a hybrid racing intake the majority of its life with an AEM dry flow pre filter. Both in my all motor setup and supercharged setup

[@Queso305]

I really want one of those civics!

[@willlivm]

What are your thoughts on air intake snorkels/can you make a video on it if u ever get one. Great vid

[@danielandrews7028]

I’d probably go with a drop in k&n. Even in a 3.5l Nissan 350z you would not get any gains over the stock airbox

[@noseandfins1]

dry filter is restrictive.I did the same thing switching to a dry flow from oiled filter and I noticed my long term fuel trims got rich from -4 to-12.

[@NAUS2K]

It’s more restrictive than an oiled filter yes, but this one has significantly more surface area than the oiled filter to negate that. Dryflow actually does its job and filters the air. It’s still less restrictive than the stock air filter. Were you tuned with the oiled air filter then switch to a dry flow and noticed the fuel trims change? If custom tuned that could have a lot to do with it

[@TheNando...]

Do these Hondas with the naturally aspirated engine have a rear engine motor mount? I noticed the engine was moving a ton when you were getting on it, obv I know it’s no sports car but it made my 18 Si so much smoother back in the day

[@NAUS2K]

Yes it has a rear motor mount and my next video will be the upgraded PRL mount, stay tuned !

[@simplyydee]

We appreciate the video

[@jamesb8619]

The civic had potential to be a 6 speed automatic. It sucks that cvt’s can barely be modded internally.

[@marthcjm9511]

I’m thinking this one or the k&n filter I just don’t know which one is best for sounding and a little bit more power

[@psewgobind]

If you manage to get some noticeable gains out of your mods, I might have to put the K20C2 back on my shopping list.

[@NAUS2K]

Well you’ll only have a few more months to get one brand new before the hybrids take over

[@psewgobind]

@@NAUS2K sucks. Used 10th is an option (lots of available 6mt with k20c2), but i feel that gen needs a more beefy front end for track use. Seems like they made 11th chassis a little stronger which is necessary for front axle in track use. Wish they had an Si with K20c2 engine, so that chassis/suspension structure wouldn’t be an issue if you were to make it into dedicated track car. 1.5T not ideal since it’ll have to quit the track after a few laps and K20C2 can go all day long.

[@NAUS2K]

Currently transforming this car into my version of a hatch Si! Stay tuned!

[@g-low9812]

I just bought some black RFP1s 8” rims w/ 235/45/17 tires for mine. I will probably try to make a vid on the switch once I swap em out. Aesthetically I know it won’t look the greatest but I think it should be a decent upgrade comfort and weight wise since the stock rim with tires weigh close to 52lbs. Interested to know your take on that.

[@NAUS2K]

Lightweight wheels are always a good upgrade!!

[@Kaelin17]

Any issues with higher intake temps/engine temps at idling or on hot days? I have a CVT sport and about to install the HVI. Anything helps with these 2.0 sports.

[@NAUS2K]

I have not logged IATs back to back , but the hvi and stock intake are both plastic boxes that suck air from the same exact oem duct so I’d imagine the IATs are nearly the same

[@Kaelin17]

@@NAUS2K My thoughts as well. We’ll see. Also, thank you for the recommendation of a compatible “dry” filter. I purchased the exact same one to install in lieu of the oiled cone it came with along with the pre-filter. Awesome vid!

[@NAUS2K]

That’s the way to do it right! Nice work!

[@comba5858]

Will you also do an ECU remap so you get the best of the new intake?

[@NAUS2K]

Yes I have a Ktuner v1.2 on hand, that will be a future video!

[@mattmcdowell1218]

I know there’s not much as far as hp gains to be expected but does it improve the throttle response any or change the feel on acceleration?

[@NAUS2K]

You can hear the engine more when you stab the throttle, so it may make the experience feel like it’s more responsive, but definitely a placebo. The only way to improve response would be a remap on the ECU (Ktuner) or similar

[@bubbleman2002]

Can't wait for Honda to be an exact carbon copy of Volkswagen in 2025 when they drop the 2.0 NA and manual options! 1.5 turbo or 2.0 turbo? 2 or 3 engine replacements under warranty? You decide!

Any horsepower gains ?

[@andylam4350]

[@andylam4350]

@@NAUS2K I appreciate you uploading videos. I wasn't trying to be negative but rather trying to understand why so many people spend lots of $ to add an aftermarket intake but don't expect gain that's all.

[@NAUS2K]

Yeah it’s probably the mod I needed the least. Stay tuned for the next few videos, the next couple mods I do to this car I’m super pumped about

[@wuwjssh4068]

Hey I know my 2023 Honda Civic LX can I do the same air intake, because a lot of people mostly use sport or hatchback….!!

[@MastaHawk420]

Would adding the resonator plugs plus the intake make it louder or is it only one or the other realistically?

[@NAUS2K]

With an aftermarket intake the flow path of the air does not go near the resonator anymore so it has no affect. Plugging the resonator when installing an aftermarket intake only helps keep debris or rodents out of it. It’s a perfect home for mice if left unplugged

[@juddosborne305]

Sounds like an Si now

[@NAUS2K]

The only sound the Si makes is from the speakers in the car, otherwise the 1.5t sounds awful

[@juddosborne305]

One question if I may, why my 2024 civic sport hatchback 2.0 with manual transmission I get only 24.7 mpg and you get 30 mpg on yours???

I have a question for you, I really shouldn’t even ask because you really shouldn’t be doing this install if you’re in fact “Not Chasing Gains”. If you’re “not chasing gains” then why is it that you’re installing a HVI in the first place? Why not just leave it completely stock? I mean stock is pro’s for the non gain chasing folk and cons for the people that chase gains all day. Why?

[@NAUS2K]

To get a little more induction noise and still have a filter setup that will do just as well as oem for engine longevity. This has made the car more pleasurable to drive since it is a 6 speed manual. If it was a CVT car I’d absolutely keep it as quiet as possible
