Cold Air Intake for Acura TL Type-S (2007–2008) 3.5L V6
Unlock the high-performance potential of the 3.5L V6 engine with this precision-engineered cold air intake system, designed specifically for the iconic Acura TL Type-S. As one of the most celebrated sport sedans of its era, the Type-S is defined by its sharp handling and high-revving power. However, the factory air intake is often restricted by baffling and a closed air box designed to prioritize silence over flow. This upgrade replaces the stock assembly with a high-velocity induction path, allowing your engine to breathe freely and delivering a boost in horsepower and torque by up to 10%.
By drawing in cooler, denser air from outside the engine bay, this system optimizes the combustion process for more responsive power delivery.1 Whether you are navigating spirited canyon drives or merging onto the highway, you will notice a significant improvement in throttle response and smoother acceleration through the VTEC engagement range. This increased efficiency doesn't just add performance; it helps the engine operate more effectively, supporting better fuel economy during steady cruising.
The system is constructed from premium T304 lightweight aluminum piping, providing a durable and heat-resistant channel for incoming air. The smooth internal walls of the aluminum tubing minimize air turbulence compared to the factory plastic hoses, promoting consistent air delivery to the engine. Under acceleration, the intake rewards the driver with a deep, sporty induction note that perfectly complements the aggressive character of the Type-S without being intrusive during steady driving.
Maintenance is simplified with the high-flow synthetic air filter. Engineered for superior filtration and maximum air volume, this filter protects your engine from dust and debris while allowing for a much higher air mass flow than standard paper filters. Because the filter is fully washable and reusable, it requires cleaning only every 50,000 miles under normal conditions, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to disposable components.
This intake system is designed as a direct-fit performance solution that installs in less than 60 minutes using basic hand tools. It utilizes factory mounting points for a secure, professional fit and is engineered to work within factory parameters, ensuring it functions seamlessly with your vehicle's existing setup.
