Performance Air Intake For Honda Ridgeline Pilot (2006-2008) With 3.5L V6 Engine Red

Optimize Airflow and Throttle Response for Your Honda J-Series V6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2006-2008 Honda Ridgeline and Pilot owners running the Honda J-Series (J35) V6 engine. Whether you are towing with your Ridgeline or hauling the family in your Pilot, this is for the driver who wants better passing power and a more responsive pedal.

The Problem: The Honda J-Series engine is a workhorse, but the factory air box is heavily baffled with resonators and corrugated plastic hoses designed to prioritize silence over efficiency. This creates significant air turbulence and heat soak, which prevents the J35 from breathing efficiently when the VTEC system engages.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to replace the restrictive factory plumbing with smooth-bore T304 aluminum piping. By providing a direct, high-velocity path to the throttle body, this kit reduces intake resistance and allows your engine to pull in cooler, denser oxygen, correcting the factory’s conservative airflow design.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Performance Gains: Smoother internal surfaces increase horsepower and torque by up to 10%, particularly noticeable in the mid-to-high RPM range where the J35 loves to live.
• Premium T304 Construction: Lightweight aluminum piping resists corrosion and dissipates heat faster than the stock rubber and plastic components.
• No-Hassle Maintenance: Includes a high-flow, washable cone filter that only requires cleaning every 50,000 miles, eliminating the need for expensive paper filter replacements.
