Wake Up Your K24Z7: High-Flow Cold Air Intake for 2012-2015 Acura ILX 2.4L

Who Is This For? Designed specifically for Acura ILX owners running the K24Z7 i-VTEC engine who want to unlock aggressive throttle response, a deeper engine note, and reliable power for daily spirited driving or street tuning.

The Plastic Chokehold: From the factory, your K24Z7 engine is forced to breathe through a restrictive, baffled plastic air box designed for silence rather than speed. This creates a "Dynamic Headache" where the engine feels sluggish during passing maneuvers and the signature i-VTEC crossover is muffled. As these cars age, factory rubber intake hoses often crack and leak, leading to poor fuel economy and "hesitation" under load.

The Engineering Solution: We replaced the heat-soaking factory plastic with mandrel-bent T304 lightweight aluminum piping to ensure a smooth, laminar airflow path directly to the manifold. By deleting the restrictive baffles and utilizing a high-velocity washable filter, this kit allows the 2.4L 4-cylinder to breathe freely, resulting in a gain of up to 10% in horsepower and torque while restoring the high-mileage efficiency your Acura deserves.

The Comparative Edge: Why This Beats the Competition

  • The Performance Gain: Delivers up to a 10% boost in HP and Torque, providing a noticeable difference in 0-60 mph times and mid-range pulling power.
  • Superior Materials: Constructed from T304 lightweight aluminum piping, unlike generic kits that use thin-walled alloys prone to rattling and heat deformation.
  • The Maintenance Advantage: Features a high-flow washable filter that only requires cleaning every 50,000 miles, eliminating the need for expensive, restrictive paper filters.
  • True Bolt-On Install: Engineered to utilize factory mounting points for a 60-minute installation with basic hand tools—no drilling or custom fabrication required.
