Got mine order yesterday and installed today. Felt the difference in turbo spooling and BPV. Thanks for the great product!

I have just purchased mine, should arrive next week so I will with PLEASURE install it on my Type-R :) I just love how the intake does not "scream in your face" when you open the hood. The design is so gentle and subtle, really perfect.

Mine arrived yesterday, thank you MishimotoUK! The installation was really easy - took me around 2 hours, had only one problem with a small clamp. On the 2018 model in Europe, they did not use screws but metal rivets so I had to use a bit of force to open it up. Everything else fits perfectly and is very easy to install. The sound is AMAZING and I could instantly feel the difference on the throttle. The car feels smooth and the response has increased. I will certainly recommend Mishimoto around my friends and not only :)

@@Richyw0278 Hi Mate! Also European version? Do you like the Intake? Cheers!

This makes the intake removal look like child's play. It was an eternal struggle to get mine off 😂wouldn't budge so easily from that pin on the bottom of the intake.

Awesome! Can't wait to finally order ours!

Installed mine today. Went smoothly except the worm gear clamp on the stock intake that holds on the metal tube was missing a head. There was no way to loosen it. I was able to pull off the rubber bit with a lot of muscle, thankfully didn't break anything. There are a bunch of other similar worm gear clamps without heads all over the engine bay. I can see some in your Type R's engine bay as well, but you've got an aftermarket worm gear clamp where mine had the impossible to remove one. I feel like one of your mechanics probably encountered the same thing and assumed it was a manufacturing error because the head does appear to be sheared off. Well it is pretty common if it is an error, haha.

I just had this same issue and thought I was going crazy, did the same and luckily muscled it off without tearing anything

My gf got me this intake for Xmas 2020 for my blk 2020 fk8...works well posted a vid on it...good product

I’m currently installing mine now. I’m having trouble with jet valve hoses. Very tight on the barb

broke my jet valve pulling the tube off it, any links/ideas/whereabouts to buy a new one?

On the left clamp has like a pin instead of a screw

Any plans for different colors of intake tubes?! This is exciting stuff!

Hey James. While this is not something we have in the works currently, I'd be more than happy to pass your suggestion to our product development team :).

Nice 👍

Installed this on my type r a few months back along with the intercooler.. sounds amazing. Any news on maybe a turbo charge pipe ?

Question: everyone running this said to avoid it because it causes loads of heat soak due to the metal design vs the composite designs from other companies. I have this intake, and have had a lot of tuners tell me to go back to stock. Any info on heat soak issues? Had a very reputable tuner in the scene tell me about the issue

@mishimoto

We have not seen any issues with heat soak.

I would like to buy this product, also I’m waiting for the inter-cooler for type R, I wonder if I install this product I avoid the warranty, I’m very concert about it, because I have 100.000 miles or 7 years. I know many people install the product and if they need to go to the dealer for some reason they put stock part back but I don't want to install or uninstall the parts every time to go to the dealer. Thank you.

Hello Alejandro. Typically, warranties are handled on a dealership to dealership basis. I would suggest contacting the dealership you purchased from and ask how they feel about aftermarket parts. You'll usually get an idea as to their feelings about aftermarket parts quite quickly. Some dealers do not mind at all, while some care a lot and will void your warranty if they see a non-oem part.

Mishimoto Automotive fits this intake for US Model only or does it fit also for the UK European Model?

Hey Alexander. All of our testing and development is conducted in the U.S., so we have not physically had our hands on an international vehicle at this time. However, after quite a bit of research, we have 0 reasons to believe this product will have fitment issues on international Civic Type R's. We plan on having them available internationally in the coming months :).

Hello RUKlMakino . These items actually just went out of stock again. If you'd like to guarantee you receive one on our next batch, I'd suggest getting an order in asap. These have been so much more popular than we anticipated that it's hard to keep them on the shelf.
