Acura RDX XcelTM Air Intake
cp-e™ has a long history of making some of the
finest cold air intakes available, and we are pleased to release our Xcel™
air intake for the Acura RDX!
The engine in the Acura RDX is the first Honda motor to feature forced
induction, and is also one of the first Honda motors to feature a mass
air meter. Although these substantial changes have thrown some
aftermarket manufacturers for a loop, we capitalized on these changes
and applied our highly successful tuning techniques to this new
platform. And boy did it pay off! How does a gain of 19 horsepower to
the wheels sound?
Like the rest of our Xcel™ air intake product line, we machine the RDX
Xcel™ intake mass air meter housing from aluminum blanks to tolerances
of +/- 0.002" (about the width of a human hair). Despite the accuracy of
this machining step, the vast majority of our competitors do not machine
their housings because it costs more then simply swedging a pipe to form
the mass air sensor housing. We however make no compromises, and as a
result our intakes are quite unique and highly effective.
The improvement gained from our air intake isn't limited just to
performance. Removing the intricate baffling in the intake tract allows
the end-user to hear all of the wonderful sounds that come from a
properly turbocharged engine. You can hear the bypass valve operation,
and you can finally hear the turbo spooling too! And of course,
replacing all of that cheap black plastic with a high quality
powder-coated really adds a "trick" look to the engine bay.
MSRP 298.00
The XcelTM air intake comes complete with all necessary hardware required for a
complete and professional installation.
