Question:

What cold air intake system should I install on my 2005 Acura TL?

I have a 2005 Acura TL and I would really like to do a few things to it over the summer. Some of the things I have planned are new high performance rotors, the V-Spec spoilers and side skirts, and a cold air intake system. However, when it comes to the intake system I don‘t have too much knowledge in the area. What brand intake system should I buy for my TL to get the best performance? Money is not a problem, I just want to know what is the best for my TL and will give me results. Thanks

Answer:

Well the rotors, spoiler, side skirts are just for show, they wont add any more braking power or aerodynamics. The cold air intake is also a waste IMO, it'll add 3-4 horse power MAX, and you have to worry about steep puddles (it's not unheard of people ruining their engines because they ran through some water, and where the CAI is located, it sucked it up.) Your best investment for handling is to add stiffer struts, and good tires, lowering wont improve anything. Your best investment for improving power would be a turbo or super charger. Since money isnt an issue you could probally have one installed for $2000 and tuned by a shop.
Just about all cold air intake have about the same improvement (in performance). But like the poster above said you have to worry about water (puddles) being sucked in to your engine. You should opt for short air intake (for a street car). Again just about all short air intakes have about equal amount of increase in power gain. That's because it isn't that the short / cold air takes are so good, but that factory air intake are very restrictive (bad) due to noise restrictions. The only differences between various brands are that you can get a generic model or specific model that fits your crowded engine bay better.
