I have one for my 2012 Accord and it made a huge difference in sound. At stock it sounds like a sewing machine but with the intake it actually sounds deep and throaty. I noticed no performance increase though. I got this purely for sound.

[@Daniel-gs4gk]

Legion Z send the link for the intake system I’m trying to do the same with my 2012 Honda Accord 2.4l

[@fernandobueno8776]

Did everything fit for it good? Every website says it’s not compatible for 2012 but it looks just like other systems that are compatible just newer

[@patana256]

[@isnowyazn]

@@fernandobueno8776Depends on whether you have a 8th gen (08-12) or 9th gen (13-17) Honda Accord I4 (2.4L). The parts on both are similar, but are usually not directly interchangeable (at least from my experience).

[@JohnBoulding]

And you will be ingesting lots more crap becouse those Cotton based filters take in a little of dirt. You'll be wearing that engine out much faster.

[@rich369963]

Thanks for the video!!!!!!! It was perfect. Perfect camera angles, clarity, detailed, no audio issues and straight to the point. I wish people would watch your tutorial videos before making their own tutorial videos and posting them on KZbin 😂😂

[@lansiman]

i use the drop in filter,i can feel the throttle response improved and gear change become smoother,the momentary bump between gear change became less noticeable

[@mrandmrspt37]

Great tutorial! Installed in 45 minutes. Thank you for the video!

[@killingmasta]

How is it? I heard there was an issue w/ heat soak in the summer and I’m debating doing it

[@isnowyazn]

@@killingmastaonestly, if you’re looking for power gains in the long run and you live in a hotter climate area, you’re better off sticking to a full CAI (cold air intake) that is actually heat wrapped (usually with gold intake wrap). A cheaper, more common way to avoid heatsoak (most successfully), would be to run a high flow air filter (K&N, aFe, Takeda, AEM) to the stock air box. You can even option to swap out the stock airbox hosing/piping for some upgraded silicone hosing (HPS). This will delete the extra resonance chambers and baffling from the OEM intake hosing/piping, which will give you a bit of air induction sound, although not a ton like a legitimate aftermarket intake system (with an exposed air filter element). You can delete the stock intake resonator chamber if you’d like, but in my case, I decided to keep it, as it was connected to the front grille shroud by the top of the hood (when closed). The stock air intake shroud is already technically as legitimate as a “cold air intake” would be, not to mention it’s from the factory (R&D knows what they’re doing [usually]!).

[@mchlcordell]

I did this on my accord great kit and it sounds amazing

[@loco052610]

nice tutorial! I wish I'd have seen a video like this when I installed mine 3 years ago on my 2013 accord sport. I probably don't have to clean mine yet but how do you recommend to clean the air filter?

[@DStephen-t4u]

Awesomeness... What are the HP & Torque gains on this kit.. Thinking bout putting one on my 2015

[@richardhay3038]

Really good video, probably one of the more straightforward approaches. One question though, do you see any benefit to removing the rest of the stock snorkel system? Since it was designed to feed cold air from the front of the engine bay it seems it would provide some benefit leaving it. Another video mentioned removing it to improve airflow, but that seems counter intuitive to me.

[@DIYCarModz]

I agree with you, I would leave it be. The air is feed up to the air filter through that tube.

[@nickrajsingh3869]

Love your videos. Do you plan on getting the Lexus style aftermarket tailights anytime soon? Waiting for you to get those before I pull the trigger on one of those lol. Or do you have any brands you would recommend? I have an sedan btw

Great video as always. I'm looking for a short ram intake for my Civic and was glad to see you install yours to get an idea on the process. I would like to know if you received any error lights and do you plan on keeping it installed.

[@DIYCarModz]

rsilinnyc no errors. I've read a few people experience error lights but the problem was because they didn't reconnect the map sensor. I plan on keeping it until I no longer own this veichle.

[@b3r15ky]

Thanks for the video. How much mpg improvement?

[@PolyGrapheneee]

I noticed that the 1.5" cut piece where the crankcase vent goes in is kinda loose from the tube part so I used the clamp from the stock and its nice and tight now

There is a video that I saw, that I just can't find again, where a guy removed the entire air channel box that runs from the grill underneath to the intake. He said only then will you actually get hp increase and crazy down low torque.

[@DC_Firetrash]

Sorry i know this is a old video, but what do you do about the tube that the OEM intake box connects to on the bottom of the box? Great video tho!

[@helixx1015]

One thing that I do not understand about this video/cold air intake is the car is designed by factory to take in air through a tube that leads to the front of the hood/car. At 6:46 you can see that the air filter is not connected to the actual factory air intake tube... can someone explain to me if this is meant to be designed that way on purpose? It just seems fishy or odd to me that the cold air intake doesn't hook directly up to the intake tube.

Thanks for the info Jeff. Clear video on how to install it. Just checked the price. Wow, a little expensive for some tubing and a filter. No filter will last a lifetime. Performance will be reduced over time. Even after cleaning.

[@DIYCarModz]

David Hughes Yes, these can get costly. that is why I haven't purchased it until now. I've been spending $20 each year on a new filter. so I'm hoping with the annual cleaning, this will last at least a few years until I get that lexus.

[@DIYCarModz]

David Hughes also... with car parts.. I think of them as a saving account.. when I'm done with it, I can always resell it used and get most of the money back. I've sold used intakes for $100+ without any problem with multiple offers

Hi, Man. I live in CA too, is this okay to install on cars? will it be trouble if get caught by police? Also, after installing this, you don't need to change the air filter any more right ?

As long as it had a CARB exempt sticker, you shouldn't have any issues when you take it in for a smog check. You have to clean the filter. They sell cleaning kits. I clean them once a year.

Hey Jeff! I've been getting the "check charge system" message a lot lately. Is that because my battery cables are loose? I haven't even installed this K&N kit yet though.

Most likely it is your battery. If you have a i4 consider swapping out the battery to a v6 battery. Maxx Everstart battery is popular for the battery upgrade mod: www.driveaccord.net/forums/86-9th-generation/377026-battery-replacement-upgrade.html Swapping out the intake to the K&N intake will not cause a check charge system warning on the dash.
