MST Performance Honda Civic Type-R (FL5) Induction Kit

MST Performance Honda Civic Type-R (FL5) Induction Kit

If you own a Honda Civic Type-R (FL5) and want to get more from your engine, the MST Performance Induction Kit is a straightforward and effective upgrade. Designed specifically for the FL5 generation Type-R, this kit replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a free-flowing intake system that helps your turbocharger breathe more easily – and you’ll notice the difference both in performance and sound.

What Does an Induction Kit Do?

Your engine needs a mixture of air and fuel to produce power. The standard airbox is designed with noise reduction and emissions in mind, which means it can restrict airflow. An induction kit – sometimes called a cold air intake – removes that restriction, allowing a greater volume of cooler, denser air to reach the turbocharger. More air means the engine can burn fuel more efficiently, which translates to improved throttle response, stronger acceleration, and in many cases, a modest power gain.

MST Performance’s dyno testing on the FL5 Civic Type-R has shown peak gains of up to 35hp, though real-world results will vary depending on your vehicle’s specification and whether it has been tuned. Even on a standard, unmodified car, the improvement in throttle response is typically noticeable from the first drive.

What’s Included

• Black powder-coated heat shield – helps keep hot engine bay air away from the intake
• Dry pleated washable filter – easy to clean and maintain, no oiling required
• Silicone intake hose – available in Black, Blue, Red, or Grey
• Full fitting hardware and instructions

Sound and Feel

Beyond the performance numbers, one of the most immediately satisfying changes is the induction noise. The MST kit produces a more audible intake growl under acceleration – particularly noticeable when the turbocharger spools up. It adds to the driving experience without being intrusive at normal speeds.

Filter Maintenance

The dry pleated filter design is simple to look after. Unlike oiled foam filters, there’s no risk of oil contaminating your mass airflow sensor (the sensor that measures how much air enters the engine). When it needs cleaning, it can be washed and reused – no replacement filters required under normal use.

Fitment

This induction kit is designed for the 2022 and newer Honda Civic Type-R (FL5). To confirm fitment for your specific vehicle, please use the vehicle lookup tool on this site or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for full details.

Available in four colours – Black, Blue, Red, and Grey – so you can choose the look that suits your engine bay.
