Cold Air Intake for Acura TSX (2010-2012) 3.5L V6 Engine Red

Optimize Volumetric Efficiency for Your Acura TSX J-Series V6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2010-2012 Acura TSX owners running the Honda J-Series V6 engine who want to bridge the gap between a daily commuter and a performance-oriented sport sedan.

The Problem: The factory airbox on the J-Series is engineered for silence above all else. By using heavy baffling and corrugated plastic intake hoses, Acura restricted the natural airflow that a large displacement V6 requires. This results in a muffled exhaust note and a "lazy" throttle response in the mid-to-high RPM range where this engine typically shines.

The Solution: We engineered this intake system to replace the restrictive factory plumbing with a smooth-bore, mandrel-bent aluminum tube. By streamlining the air path to the J-Series throttle body, we reduce turbulence and intake temperatures, allowing your ECU to advance timing and deliver more consistent power throughout the powerband.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Induction Sound: Replaces the sterile factory silence with a deep, aggressive V6 growl under wide-open throttle while remaining civil during cruising.
• Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Construction: The red powder-coated piping is designed to resist heat soak better than thinner aftermarket alternatives, ensuring denser air charges.
• High-Flow Washable Filter: Stop wasting money on paper disposables. This kit includes a synthetic cotton-gauze filter that can be cleaned and re-oiled for the life of the vehicle.

Installation Pro-Tip:

For the best results, we recommend disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 10 minutes post-installation. This forces the ECU to clear its short-term fuel trims and "re-learn" the new, increased airflow parameters of the J-Series engine. Most enthusiasts can complete this bolt-on installation in under 60 minutes with basic hand tools.
