Generally good - filter

Generally good consumption. But installation hassle, but definitely a better price compared to other $150 more things. Sounds a little better, looks good and feels a little faster. Overall a good product.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Some flaws

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good looks and easy to install

Significantly improved engine sound, almost like an exhaust upgrade. In any case, my '06 Accord Coupe v6 sounds rougher! While it doesn't add much to fuel economy or performance, it does look better in the engine bay.

Pros
  • High test scores for grip and durability
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models

Works great so far, best in the air intake

Works great so far. I have to add that the pipe is not chrome plated so this was a big disappointment. However, for the price you get the same performance as more expensive models. Not easy to install as you have to remove the entire box filter that protrudes past the front of the bumper. But after a while it's worth all the pain.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Air intake not as shown

Not as shown. I was really looking forward to getting this for a small upgrade on my Acura and being an old school guy I only wanted the best so of course I went with a DC cooling air intake. It arrived yesterday and of course wanted to open it immediately. The first thing that caught my eye was the lack of a DC badge on the inlet and a torn bag with parts falling out. I was expecting better quality after spending $160 on it.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Good but not great

Very good CAI for Acura TL 05 (Mechanical)

Great for Acura TL 2005 6 speed manual. To install you need to remove the front bumper cover, it doesn't matter much. Have a few extra plastic clips handy. Adds that extra growl I've been looking for without being too loud with the exhaust upgrade. The filter is pre-lubricated with oil and the rubber boot that attaches to the pipe was oily. I wrapped the end of the tube with black tape to keep it from slipping off. Oiled rubber and polished hoses can cause slipping. I just used the larger…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

Excellent product for filter

I recently bought a filter 06 tl. I came back and came fourth in the question of whether to buy an intake manifold or exit stock for fear of a harsh sound. After watching a video on YouTube and reading reviews on the Acura website, I decided to buy an intake. After checking various companies, the selling point was that this 50 carb product is legal. AEM, which costs $80 more, fails to qualify for 50 federally approved products. The air intake has now arrived on time and is a great addition to…

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Obsolete model

The hose is cracked and no response from the manufacturer

The intake is easy enough to install, the problem is the quality of the hose and the lack of response from the manufacturer. Mine had been installed for about 6 months when the only bracket holding this thing to the car came off cleanly. I installed it exactly according to the manufacturer's instructions and even relocated the battery ground to the air intake vibration mount. I contacted DC Sports through their warranty page a few months ago and got no response (other than their automated email

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Nothing

Does the same job as other CAIs but for less money

I bought this for my 06 TL. Follow SanDiegoDrive's YouTube video on how to install CAI which was perfect and very helpful. Installation took an hour because it was my first time, but it can easily be done in less time. This kit has no problems installing for 04-06 UA6 TL but I'm pretty sure it has problems installing for 07-08 UA7. because of the fog lights. If you have Accord/Inspire fog lights for your TL they may not fit properly due to the location of the filter. I believe this is the…

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged
