R18 K&N SRI here...no vibrations...check and double check your bolts. Make sure the brace connected to the heatshield is secure.

I'm getting a CEL though from mine...no limp mode, just a CEL. Problem here is I can't find a place that can read the new Civic's, and I don't want to take it to Honda because they say it'll void my warranty if the see the CEL.

EDIT: I can't really figure our why your pedals would be vibrating though....

Ive double checked every single bolt... The only thing I can think of is the mounting brackets not having rubber washers.

Yea, my mounting bracket to the heatshield has a gigantic thick rubber washer under it. But I still can't figure out how that would cause your pedals to vibrate.

Go to home depot.. go to plumbing... go to sink hardware. You'll find some rubber washers.. Cut them to fit. Put one under the bracket and another over the braket then bolt it down. It helped alot for me. Also make sure the heatshield isnt hitting anything. I adjusted the headshield location and that also made a pretty noticable differance.

So you had the same problem with the pedals vibrating?? Did using the rubber washers completely stop the annoying vibration or just some what...... thanks

Lobos8403 did you use rubber washers for both of the brackets or just one of them.

any place the intake is bolted to the engine, use rubber washers.

i am suprised your kit didnt come with them for the install.....

have had my K&N SRI on the K20 for about 2 weeks now and have no problems to report of. install went fairly easy and the end result is great!

no vibration or cel here semd me a pic of your set up and ill tell you what the problem is .There is a recall on the accelerator pedal /loose bolts on the pedal mabyee .

try unhooking your battery for 10 min and then power it back on. I had this problem on my old celica where cause the engine was running lean because it wasn't detecting the proper amount of o2 after a sri install therefore the engine sputtered. resetting the ecu seemed to help. i'm not sure if it works the same way with the new civics but its easy to do and worth a try.

I have an si so i used them on both mounts.. the rear mount was a little tricky to get the washer into so i cut out about 1/6 of it to just slide it in sideways. I slit the washers just so they would fit the bolts a little better. It helps the vibration but it doesnt go away completely... i think? To be honest i got tottally used to it. Really bugged me out for like a day or two then i forgot about it.
