Performance Cold Air Intake Kit - Acura CL (1997-1999) 3.0L V6

Rediscover Your CL's Performance DNA

Picture yourself accelerating onto the highway or carving through your favorite back road. Instead of the factory-restricted response, your CL's V6 comes alive with newfound urgency—7-10% more horsepower and 6-8% more torque flowing through that legendary Honda engine. These aren't marginal improvements; they're gains you'll feel every time you press the accelerator.

The transformation happens because your engine finally gets to breathe properly. By replacing the restrictive factory air box with our precision-engineered cold air intake, you're feeding your 3.0L V6 the dense, oxygen-rich air it needs for optimal combustion. More air means more complete fuel burn, which translates to better power delivery and improved efficiency throughout the RPM range.

The Sound of Honda Performance Engineering

Honda's V6 engines are renowned for their smooth operation and refined power delivery, but they've always been a bit too quiet. Our cold air intake changes that by unleashing the sporty, aggressive sound your engine was designed to make. During spirited acceleration, you'll hear that satisfying induction roar that reminds you there's genuine performance under the hood. At cruising speeds, it settles into a refined growl that never becomes tiresome.

This enhanced sound isn't artificial—it's the natural voice of unrestricted airflow rushing into your engine. It's the same satisfying note you'd hear from Honda's motorsports programs, now available for your daily driver. It perfectly complements the CL's character as a personal luxury coupe with a sporting edge.

Premium Construction Worthy of Your Acura

Acura built the CL with attention to quality and detail, and we've matched that commitment with this intake kit. The intake piping is precision-crafted from lightweight T-304 aluminum with a brilliant polished finish that looks stunning under the hood. T-304 aluminum offers superior corrosion resistance, excellent heat dissipation, and weighs significantly less than factory components—reducing engine bay weight while maximizing durability.

The upgraded high-flow cone air filter is washable and reusable, designed to protect your engine for years to come. Unlike disposable filters that require frequent replacement, simply clean and re-oil this filter every 50,000 miles under normal driving conditions. That's genuine long-term value—lower maintenance costs and better environmental responsibility.

Sharper Response Where You Drive Most

Peak horsepower numbers matter, but what transforms your daily driving experience is improved throttle response throughout low and mid-RPM ranges. This is where you spend most of your time—accelerating from stoplights, merging into traffic, passing slower vehicles on two-lane roads. Our cold air intake delivers noticeably sharper response in these real-world situations.

The improved airflow creates more efficient combustion across the entire power band, which often leads to better fuel economy during steady highway cruising. While results vary based on driving style and conditions, many CL owners report improved efficiency on longer trips—meaning you can enjoy enhanced performance without constantly visiting the gas station.

Complete Kit, Straightforward Installation

Everything you need is included in the box—all mounting hardware, brackets, clamps, and accessories exactly as shown. No surprise trips to the parts store, no additional components to track down. With basic hand tools you likely already own (screwdrivers and socket wrenches), you can complete the installation in your garage or driveway in under an hour.

The installation process is straightforward and well-documented. Remove your factory air box, install the new intake system, secure all connections, and you're ready to experience the difference. Many CL owners have shared their installations on YouTube if you want to preview the process. The included instructions walk you through each step with clarity.

Installation tip: After installation, disconnect your battery terminal for 30 seconds. This resets your engine control unit, allowing it to adapt to the increased airflow and optimize fuel mapping immediately. It's a simple step that ensures you get maximum performance benefits right from your first drive.
