Our DC Sports 04-08 TSX intake replaces the factory accordion rubber tube with a two-piece, mandrel-bent aluminum runner that actually lets the K24A2 breathe. You get a steadier shot of cool outside air, smoother airflow, and real gains you can feel from the mid-range to redline—plus that deep induction growl you expect from a proper Acura TSX performance intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch4\u003eKey Performance Highlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eTrue cold air intake Acura TSX layout – moves the filter into the fender well, where temps often sit up to 30 °F cooler than the engine bay.

You bolt it on, fire it up, and your car just works. No check-engine lights, no hacked sensors, no idle drama. Around town you’ll notice crisper tip-in and smoother part-throttle transitions; at highway cruise, the DC Sports cold air intake stays quiet enough that you won’t hate it on long drives. Lean on it, though, and it wakes up with a proper intake snarl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch4\u003eBuilt by Enthusiasts, Proven by Testing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn a stock ECU, back-to-back dyno pulls show consistent gains of about 5–7 whp and 6–9 lb-ft with this high flow intake Acura TSX setup. It’s not just peak numbers either—you see the DC Sports cold air intake carry improvements through the mid-range where you actually drive. Heat-soak testing shows quicker intake air temp recovery compared to the OEM piping, so power stays more repeatable whether you’re in stop-and-go traffic or doing repeated pulls. We run this same TSX cold air intake kit on our own CL9s and daily them without drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*If you own a 2008 TSX, double-check local regulations.
