Performance Air Intake For Acura TLX (2014-2018) with 2.4L L4 Engine

Optimize Your K24W7: High-Flow Performance Intake for 2014-2018 Acura TLX 2.4L

Who It’s For: Engineered for Acura TLX owners running the K24W7 powerplant who are tired of the stock sluggishness and want to hear that i-VTEC system actually breathe.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the K24W7 is designed for absolute silence, which unfortunately comes at the cost of performance. Acura utilizes a complex series of restrictive resonator boxes and corrugated accordion-style plastic tubing that creates massive amounts of internal turbulence. This turbulence disrupts the laminar flow of air, essentially choking the engine’s throttle response when you’re trying to merge onto the highway or power out of a corner.

The Engineering Fix: This system replaces that restrictive plastic plumbing with a precision-engineered mandrel-bent aluminum tube. By smoothing out the airflow path and eliminating the factory baffles, we significantly reduce intake air resistance. This allows for a more consistent air velocity into the throttle body, increasing the oxygen density in the combustion chamber which results in a sharper throttle snap and a much more aggressive induction roar under heavy load.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Enhanced Power Delivery: By reducing the vacuum restriction found in the stock airbox, the K24W7 can reach its peak 206 HP more efficiently, especially in the higher RPM range where the i-VTEC profile engages.
• Signature Induction Note: Replaces the muted factory hum with a deep, throaty growl during acceleration, giving this luxury sport sedan a much-needed mechanical personality.
• Sustainable Performance: Features a high-flow, reusable cotton gauze filter that provides superior filtration while allowing for higher CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) than standard paper filters.

The Performance Promise

Installation is straightforward and requires only basic hand tools like screwdrivers and a socket set. Pro Tip: To ensure the ECU properly maps the new air-to-fuel ratios, we recommend disconnecting the battery terminal for a few minutes after installation. This forces the engine computer to “re-learn” the increased airflow volume for immediate performance gains. Buy with confidence, backed by real automotive experts and fast shipping.
