Review on Airaid Cold Air Intake System (AIR-531-202): Boost Horsepower, Enhance Filtration | 2006-2008 HONDA (Ridgeline) Compatible by Jordan Epps

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Why did I take so long to buy this?

I owe the current cost of fuel for this recent purchase. I have a Honda Ridgeline 06 and it's not known for its fuel economy. Installing the Airraid 531-202 intake system in 20 degree weather took about 15 minutes with a flat Phillips screwdriver (use a long Phillips screwdriver about 10" long to loosen the air cleaner cover screw near the driver's side). Wing). The Airaid 531-202 SynthaMax dry filter intake system mounts perfectly to the lower half of the OEM air filter housing and no engineering degree is required to understand the installation process. Two things struck me, the product delivers! Fuel economy is definitely better, and a noticeable increase in performance. I was lucky enough to have a Honda service manager agree to a test drive to see if there was a noticeable difference, he was blown away by the improved performance and newly acquired (but not objectionable) sound. For now I will leave this comment open until I complete my Michigan to Florida trip, I can leave those interested in the exact mpg increase when I get back.

Pros
  • Car
Cons
  • Very Expensive
