Cold Air Intake for Acura TL Base & Type-S (2004-2008) 3.2L 3.5L Engine

Increase Throttle Response and Induction Sound for Your Acura J-Series V6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2004-2008 Acura TL and 2005-2008 RL owners running the legendary J-Series V6 engine, including both the 3.2L Base and the high-output 3.5L Type-S variants.

The Problem: The factory airbox in the J-Series V6 is a major bottleneck. Constructed from heavy plastic and positioned directly in the engine bay, it is prone to significant heat soak. This design muffles the engine’s natural VTEC induction note and restricts airflow, which limits the potential of the J32 and J35 platforms.

The Solution: We engineered this 2-piece cold air intake system to relocate the filter away from the engine block, pulling in denser, cooler air from the fender well area. By utilizing T304 lightweight aluminum piping, we’ve corrected the factory design flaws, allowing your engine to breathe freely while delivering the aggressive, throaty sound these V6 engines are known for.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Optimized Airflow: Mandrel-bent T304 aluminum piping reduces turbulence, providing a direct path to the throttle body for gains in both horsepower and torque.
• Superior Filtration: Features a high-flow, washable synthetic filter that provides exceptional protection while allowing maximum air volume compared to the restrictive paper OEM units.
• Precision Fitment: This 2-piece kit is designed for a straightforward bolt-on installation, clearing the battery and transmission housing in both automatic and manual configurations.
