DC Sports Cold Air Intake for 04-08 TL/03-07 Accord V6

DC Sports Cold Air Intake for 04-08 TL / 03-07 Accord V6 (SKU: CAI5529)

If you’re hunting for a legit power bump and better sound for your J-series, this DC Sports aluminum intake is the one you’ve seen on every 04-08 TL and 03–07 Accord V6 forum build. Our DC Sports Cold Air Intake for 04–08 TL and 03–07 Accord V6 pulls air from outside the engine bay, so your 3.0/3.2/3.5 isn’t stuck inhaling under‑hood heat. Mandrel-bent T-6061 aluminum tubing replaces the factory accordion hose, straightening the airflow path and cutting turbulence. On the rollers, you’ll typically see 8–10 whp and around 9 lb-ft at the wheels when you swap from stock.

The filter sits low in the fender well where the air actually stays cool instead of heat-soaked. It’s a washable, oil-treated high-flow unit that means lower intake temps, sharper throttle response, a deeper intake growl when you’re in it, and stronger mid-range pull. Perfect if you’re chasing a cleaner hit merging on the freeway or just want your Acura TL or Honda Accord cold air intake to actually do something you can feel.

Key Advantages

• True cold-air placement: draws outside air that’s typically around 30 °F cooler than under‑hood temps, so your J-series gets denser, more oxygen-rich air every pull.
• Lightweight hardware: polished aluminum pipe and stainless fasteners drop some weight compared to the chunky OEM airbox and rubber ducting.
• 50-state C.A.R.B. legal (EO D-370-15), with the correct vacuum and sensor ports so everything plugs in clean—no hack jobs, no check-engine light drama.
• Reusable filter: pull it, clean it, re-oil it, and bolt it back on—no more stacking disposable paper filters over the life of your TL or Accord.
• Backed by DC Sports’ limited lifetime warranty and years of real-world abuse on street, track, and daily-driven J-series cars.
