Performance Air Intake for Acura RDX (2013-2017) 3.5L V6 Engine - Black

Upgrade your 2013-2017 Acura RDX with a performance air intake that delivers more power, better throttle response, and a satisfying engine note—all in under an hour of installation.

More Power, Better Response, That Signature V6 Rumble

The RDX has always been Acura's answer to the luxury crossover that doesn't sacrifice driving enjoyment. With its responsive 3.5L V6 and sharp handling, it's a vehicle that rewards spirited driving. But if you've felt like the factory air intake holds back that smooth V6, you're not wrong. Stock air boxes prioritize quiet operation over maximum airflow, leaving performance on the table.

This performance air intake changes that. By replacing the restrictive factory setup with free-flowing T304 aluminum piping and a high-flow washable filter, you're giving your engine what it's been craving: unrestricted air. The result? Up to 10% more horsepower and torque, sharper throttle response, and a deeper, more aggressive engine note that reminds you there's a proper V6 under the hood.

Key Features at a Glance

• Horsepower & Torque Gains: Up to 10% increase across the powerband for stronger acceleration and passing power
• T304 Aluminum Construction: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant piping engineered for maximum airflow and durability
• Superior Filtration: High-flow filter captures contaminants while delivering significantly more air than stock
• Enhanced Engine Sound: Enjoy a deeper, sportier tone that brings out the character of your V6
• Low Maintenance: Washable, reusable filter only needs cleaning every 50,000 miles under normal conditions

How It's Used: Installation & Fitment

This is a straightforward bolt-on upgrade. With basic hand tools—screwdrivers and socket wrenches—you can complete the installation in under 60 minutes. Simply remove the factory air box and install the new intake system in its place. After installation, disconnect your battery terminal briefly to allow the ECU to adapt to the increased airflow. No cutting, no permanent modifications, and no special skills required.

Built to Last in Real-World Conditions

T304 aluminum piping isn't just lighter than steel—it's highly resistant to corrosion and heat cycling, making it ideal for engine bays that see temperature swings and moisture. The mandrel-bent design ensures smooth airflow without turbulence, while the high-flow filter is engineered to trap harmful particles without choking your engine.

Your Benefits at a Glance

• Immediate Performance Gains: Feel the difference in throttle response and power delivery
• Long-Term Value: Reusable filter saves money compared to disposable stock replacements
• Enhanced Driving Experience: Better sound, sharper acceleration, and improved efficiency
