Picked one of these up this week at a price too good to leave. Was planning on keeping the Civic 100% OEM, but this is kinda OEM so fits the bill.
Figment was an arse. I was too lazy/in too much of a hurry to remove the battery, and although I squeezed it in there without too much issue, I would recommend you spend the extra 5 mins removing it to make life easier. It's a lot bigger than the standard box in the bay. Also stretching the OEM lower hose over the intake scoop is tough as it's quite a bit larger than the hose. It does go on though and fits well once in place. The airbox itself doesn't seem to sit amazingly well compared to the OEM airbox, and I would've been annoyed if I'd paid £700 for it! I had to jiggle it about to get the bolts lined up properly. Otherwise fitment wasn't too bad. Took me just over 1.5 hours all in.
Noise wise, it's the same as standard until you hit vtec, then it definitely sounds much nicer. Nice dry intake roar if that makes sense. Power wise I can't notice any difference, but with just an airbox it will be negligible regardless.
Overall I'm pleased with it. If you want something that looks nice in the bay, offers a small noise increase yet maintains OEM appearance, then I would say go with this option. I know the Tegiwa is better for performance, I just don't like that it looks way different to OEM.
Will get some pics up later on.
