Civic DX to Civic EX lung transplant

I've never seen an intake manifold like the civic DX one before. Just looks dumb and doesn't function well either. The civic is in the process of getting some new lungs to help it breathe healthier. The simple transplant alone has been documented to increase horsepower by about 7%. An additional step was taken to improve airflow even more. The throttle body (this is controlled by your gas pedal. It controls how much the flap opens) was bored (widened) out, and the Intake manifold tubings were smoothened and polished for less restriction and higher flow rate. We're hoping to get a 10% increase in power.

The only single harness. Since it's only 2 wires, i used a left over vacuum hose as a loom before taping it up
