Description
The AEM 21-832C replaces the factory intake assembly on supported Civic Type R 2.0L applications with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube and reusable Dryflow filter. Its layout is tailored to the Type R application rather than a generic Civic intake.
Design and operation
The gunmetal gray powder-coated tube provides a smooth air path. A shaped heat shield with protective edge trim helps separate the filter from surrounding engine-bay heat, although it does not eliminate heat soak.
Key specifications
- Manufacturer part number: 21-832C
- Gunmetal gray aluminum tube; shaped heat shield with edge trim.
- Washable, reusable, oil-free synthetic Dryflow filter.
- Replacement filter: 21-2093DK.
Installation and compatibility
Confirm the exact Type R model year. Compatibility with one Civic Type R generation does not establish fitment on another generation or on other Civic engines. Follow the installation instructions and confirm calibration compatibility with the vehicle’s existing modifications.
Maintenance
Inspect the filter according to dust exposure and use. Clean it with a cleaner suitable for the Dryflow media, allow it to dry fully and do not apply filter oil. Check clamps and connections during routine servicing.
Important application notes
Not legal for sale or use in California on pollution-controlled motor vehicles. Verify applicable local requirements before purchase.
Vehicle fitment
The following catalog applications include trim-specific year ranges. Confirm the exact vehicle before ordering; listed fitment does not by itself establish emissions approval.
