WRT "minutes to install",I believe you have to remove the old intake system
first,including the resonator and piping that wasn't so accessible in my
Integra GSR.(for a Cold Air intake,not a short ram)
But it still is not hard to do,and very worthwhile.

Re: Civic Air intake question
 

It should give you a little more power but it won't keep the same milage as
someone else mentioned. You get more air which means you're burning more
gas. So expect a slight gas milage decrease. It's hard to gain any
performance without burning more gas with the current car set-ups.
Electrical engines are a different story and they sure have a long way to
go. Even then you won't get performance without more electricity. There are
a lot of websites out there describing how those systems are set-up and how
they work.

Doesn't take too long to install. Maybe 30min-1hr if you know what you're
doing. Remove old piping, plug-in new set-up and you're done. That's
probably the easiest performance mod that you can do except placing a bunch
of performance stickers all over your car which supposedly boosts your HP
from what I've heard.
