Cold Air Intake for Honda Pilot (2006-2008) 3.5L V6 Engines

Maximize Airflow and Throttle Response for the Honda Pilot J-Series V6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2006-2008 Honda Pilot owners running the J-Series V6 engine.

The Problem: The J-Series V6 is a legendary powerplant, but the factory air box is built for silence rather than efficiency. It utilizes restrictive paper filters and corrugated intake tubing that creates massive air turbulence before it ever reaches the throttle body. This results in the J-Series V6 feeling sluggish off the line, especially when the vehicle is loaded with passengers or gear, as the engine struggles to pull in enough cool air through the baffled factory system.

The Solution: We engineered this cold air intake to correct the factory design flaws of the J-Series, delivering reliable performance by replacing the heat-trapping plastic with lightweight aluminum. By smoothing out the intake path and using a high-flow, washable filter, we allow the engine to breathe freely, significantly reducing pumping losses and sharpening throttle response for a more connected driving experience.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Performance Gains: Boosts horsepower and torque by up to 10% by maximizing airflow through the stock manifold system for better acceleration and towing capability.
• Premium Durability: Constructed with lightweight aluminum piping that resists corrosion and handles engine bay heat better than factory plastics.
• Low Maintenance Install: Replaces the entire factory air box and intake tube in less than 60 minutes using basic hand tools; includes a washable filter.
