Cold Air Intake For Honda Accord (2008-2012) with 2.4L L4 Engine with Shield

Direct-Path Cold Air Induction System: Optimized for the Honda K24Z3 Engine

Who It’s For: Engineered for 2008-2012 Honda Accord owners running the K24Z3 powerplant who are tired of the stock sluggishness and want to reclaim the lost potential of their i-VTEC system.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the K24Z3 is designed for silence above all else, utilizing a series of restrictive resonator boxes and corrugated plastic tubing that creates massive air turbulence. This 8th-generation Accord chassis is significantly heavier than its predecessors, and when the engine is choked by these factory baffles, it results in a “dead zone” in throttle response when trying to merge or pass on the highway. You press the pedal, and there is a noticeable lag as the engine struggles to pull air through the restrictive factory filtration box.

The Engineering Fix: This system replaces that cumbersome, heat-trapping plastic assembly with a high-flow, mandrel-bent T304 aluminum tube. By smoothing out the airflow path and utilizing a dedicated heat shield, we significantly reduce Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) and increase the oxygen density entering the combustion chamber. This allows the K24Z3 to reach its volumetric efficiency peaks much faster, resulting in a sharper throttle snap and a resonant induction growl that the stock airbox completely muffles.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Enhanced Powerband: Specifically tuned to boost horsepower and torque by up to 10% by optimizing the airflow delivery to the intake manifold.
• Acoustic Feedback: Provides a deep, mechanical induction roar under heavy load, giving the driver better tactile and auditory feedback during spirited driving.
• Premium Metallurgy: Constructed from T304 lightweight aluminum, which dissipates heat faster than stock plastics and resists corrosion for the life of the vehicle.
