The stock pleated paper filter and baffled intake tube create significant turbulence and air resistance, preventing the engine from breathing efficiently at higher RPMs where this K-series family thrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Solution:\u003c\/strong\u003e This Cold Air Intake system replaces the entire factory restriction with a high-flow mandrel-bent aluminum tube and a reusable synthetic filter. By including a dedicated heat shield, we engineered this kit to block radiant engine heat, ensuring the intake charge stays dense and cool for consistent power delivery across the entire powerband.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This is the Ultimate Upgrade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Powerband:\u003c\/strong\u003e By reducing intake restriction, you’ll notice a significant improvement in mid-range torque and a much more aggressive VTEC transition as the engine climbs toward its 6,800 RPM peak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Management:\u003c\/strong\u003e The included red heat shield is vital for the TLX engine bay, isolating the filter from the radiator and block to prevent heat soak during stop-and-go driving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Induction Tone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a deep, throaty growl under heavy acceleration while remaining civilized at cruising speeds, perfectly matching the TLX’s premium-sport character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimple Bolt-On Fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to utilize factory mounting points, making this a straightforward 60-minute install with basic hand tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2015-2017 Acura TLX\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eEngine Family\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eK24W7 Earth Dreams i-VTEC\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFactory Ratings\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e206 HP \u0026amp; 182 lb-ft Torque\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eComponents\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eMandrel-Bent Aluminum Pipe, Heat Shield, High-Flow Filter, Couplers, Clamps\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; OEM Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits the Following Vehicles:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2017 Acura TLX Base Sedan 4-Door (2.4L 2356CC l4 GAS DOHC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2017 Acura TLX Tech Sedan 4-Door (2.4L 2356CC l4 GAS DOHC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2016 Acura TLX Base Sedan 4-Door (2.4L 2356CC l4 GAS DOHC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2015 Acura TLX Base Sedan 4-Door (2.4L 2356CC l4 GAS DOHC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterchange Part Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: monospace; font-size: 0.9em; color: #666; background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 10px; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\nCAI-TLX-1417-RD, K24W7-INTAKE-RED, 2.4L-L4-AIR-INTAKE\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Performance Promise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuy with confidence.\u003c\/strong\u003e As specialists in the K-series platform, we know that air density is everything.
