Cold Air Intake for Honda Accord LX EX (2008-2012) 2.4L Engine

High-Flow Short Ram Intake for 2008-2012 Honda Accord 2.4L (K24)

What it Does: Replaces the restrictive factory air box and corrugated rubber tubing with a high-velocity black aluminum mandrel-bent induction system and red washable cone filter to lower intake air temperatures (IAT) and increase oxygen density.

The Stock Accord Induction Weakness

The OEM intake system on the Honda 2.4L power plant is engineered primarily for NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) reduction rather than volumetric efficiency. The factory plastic housing and accordion-style intake hose create significant internal turbulence, disrupting laminar airflow into the throttle body. Furthermore, the stock enclosure is highly susceptible to heat soak during prolonged operation, causing the ECU to retard ignition timing as intake temperatures rise, which directly results in a loss of torque and sluggish throttle response.

The Engineering Solution

This short ram induction kit utilizes 6061 aluminum alloy piping, known for its superior thermal dissipation and lightweight properties. The mandrel-bent design ensures a constant diameter throughout the intake tract, eliminating the pressure drops associated with the stock restrictive curves. By utilizing a high-surface-area, washable cone filter, the system increases total CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) capacity, allowing the K24 engine to breathe more freely during high-RPM transitions. Pulling cooler, denser air through the smooth mandrel-bent pipe and big cone filter, the 2.4L K24 picks up 7-10% more horsepower and 6-8% more torque, with a more aggressive, deep induction note under load.

Common Questions

Will it fit my 2010 Accord EX 2.4L?
Yes. It fits 2008-2012 Accord LX, LX-P, LX-S, EX and EX-L with the 2.4L K24.

Does it fit the Accord V6?
No. It is made for the 2.4L 4-cylinder only, not the 3.5L V6.

Does it fit both the sedan and coupe?
Yes, as long as the car has the 2.4L K24 engine.

How much power does it add?
It is rated for 7-10% more horsepower and 6-8% more torque, thanks to cooler, denser air and a smoother path into the throttle body.

What comes in the kit?
A black aluminum intake pipe, a red washable cone filter and all the mounting hardware needed for a bolt-on install.
