Performance Cold Air Intake System for 1998–1999 Acura SLX 3.5L V6 – Optimized Airflow & Enhanced Engine Efficiency
Ensure your Acura SLX's maximized airflow and engine performance boost with this precision-engineered cold air intake system. Engineered specifically for the 3.5L V6 engine, this kit replaces the restrictive factory air box that often limits the potential of your SUV during steep climbs or highway cruising. By optimizing the way your engine breathes, this system provides the cooler, denser air charge needed for improved combustion efficiency and a more capable driving experience.
The factory intake components are designed for silence over speed, creating bottlenecks that restrict the engine's ability to breathe under load. Cooler air carries more oxygen, which translates into a more intense explosion in the combustion chamber to create more horsepower and torque. This system utilizes high-flow induction tubing that effectively reduces air turbulence, allowing your 3.5L V6 to act as a more efficient air pump and providing a performance increase of up to 10% throughout the entire RPM range.
Key Features & Performance Benefits
-
Power Gain: Increases horsepower and torque for improved off-the-line acceleration and better towing capability.
-
Thermal Control: Designed to draw in cooler air from outside the engine bay to maintain a denser air charge.
-
Instant Response: Streamlines the air intake to provide a more direct connection between the pedal and the pavement.
-
Engine Tone: Enhances the deep induction growl under heavy acceleration, giving your SLX a more authoritative V6 sound.
-
Consistent Flow: Maintains steady air velocity for reliable performance in both daily commutes and off-road environments.
-
High Filtration: Blocks harmful dust and debris while allowing maximum airflow for the demands of the high-displacement V6.

What's Included
Your kit features the high-velocity induction piping, a reusable high-flow performance air filter, and all required couplers, clamps, and hardware for a complete and secure installation.
Installation Tip
Disconnect the NEGATIVE GROUND CABLE from the battery before starting the installation and keep it off for at least one minute after you finish. This reset allows the engine's computer to learn the new airflow parameters and adjust accordingly. Ensure the engine is completely cool before beginning work.
