Performance AIR INTAKES // 10th Gen (2018+) Honda Accord

[@baliton2006]

Thank you for doing this for the accord owners we appreciate you giving us an idea of what’s best for what we’re looking for

[@TheLemonFactor]

It’s my pleasure. I hope you enjoy the videos. Don’t forget to subscribe 😉

[@302daddyd]

It's weird how at first I subscribed to your channel because I had my 19 Miata GT. A year later I traded that in for a 21 Accord Touring and I'm still watching you channel. Keep up the good work!

[@TheLemonFactor]

You have good taste in cars 😉. Seriously, thank you for the support 👍

[@teggy4018]

I have the Injen on a 2018 2.0 sounds incredible!!

[@TheLemonFactor]

👍

[@aarond8110]

Definitely can appreciate what you are doing. Can't wait to see the difference in each. Thank you for your time effort and uploading this. Blessings

[@TheLemonFactor]

Thank you Aaron for the support and understanding - it is a bit time consuming putting the time into these videos, but worth it if people are benefiting from them 😁

[@fireemblemaddict128]

I've done some research on the Accord forums, a lot of people are saying all the aftermarket air intakes either provide 0 HP gain, or even lower performance slightly. PRL, K&N, doesn't matter. It just changes the sound according to a few modders. ):

[@TheLemonFactor]

Have you checked out our multi-video series in which we install and dyno test multiple air intakes? If not, go check it out 👍

[@tyhyhh]

afe makes good stuff atelast on my fiesta st i love the way it looks and fits almost like a OEM upgrade

[@TheLemonFactor]

You might want to take a look at the aFe install video, and the aFe Takeda dyno video - you may be surprised 😉

[@suspotato2499]

yes! finally, a channel that will compare all mods! I look forward to your review videos!

[@TheLemonFactor]

Me too 😉

[@calviny9384]

Wow super excited for the testing video. By far the best KZbinr for the 10th gen accord 👏

[@TheLemonFactor]

Thank you, Calvin. That means a lot to me 😃

[@savedby_grace6110]

You're missing the HPS intake...check it out. Thank you.

[@509livin8]

Can't wait for the video comparison, good info! Will you be dyno testing these on stock accord or tuned?

[@TheLemonFactor]

First we’ll be testing on a stock car 👍😁

[@gasmoney6733]

Just found your channel, what a gem

[@TheLemonFactor]

Well I’m glad you found the channel, thank you 😁

[@Aka_Shadow_one]

Can’t wait for you to do video for the ones you bought 🙏🏼😭🙏🏼

[@TheLemonFactor]

I’m pretty excited myself 😁. Are you interested in a specific type or brand? Do you currently have one or considering one?

[@lgjg7441]

Eagerly awaiting the testing video, I have a '21 TLX and would love to put on a CAI when they're developed for this platform. The gains should be similar to what you find with the accord 2.0, basically the same engine

[@TheLemonFactor]

The gains may be similar, but it depends on how Acura tuned the engine, and how the OEM intake is mechanically positioned/setup, just to name two factors 🤷‍♂️

[@LulzChicken]

A cold air intake (I have the K&N) makes the turbo and blowoff sound amazing.

[@TheLemonFactor]

I wonder how much more you’ll be able to hear it 🤔

[@nicholasfolse]

Sounds are great but you are robbing performance I promise you

[@LulzChicken]

@@nicholasfolse I have a state 3 tune and other mods so it’s still way more than stock.

[@jorgeirizarry5971]

You really shined on this video.

[@TheLemonFactor]

😁👍

[@edwardtan4631]

Excited about the future video with the intake test. I just recently got my 2.0t accord. I'm genuinely surprised that I think this Accord 2.0t stock is faster than my 2016 stock WRX.

[@TheLemonFactor]

Congratulations on your new car! As a previous owner of a WRX, I agree. The Accord with its quick spooling turbo and torque available low in the RPMs gives the sensation that it’s even faster than it is. 😎

[@thomasjaroszewski3914]

I think we are all interested to see what’s next

[@RuinNationGaming]

I got the prl high flow version 2 and man I will tell you this it feels faster by a lot even my friend who says maybe you get a few hp said wow i never exp a gain like that with a intake

[@stephenadame7233]

I have the PRL HVI intake and I love it. You can hear a little more spool and noise but it’s more stealthy. Don’t know if I really feel the HP gain but I do enjoy it. Would love to see the numbers though!

[@TheLemonFactor]

It will be exciting to see the difference between them all. 😁

[@inando9226]

Been waiting to get the mishimoto intake for 2 months and it’s coming this Thursday. Let’s see how it goes

[@TheLemonFactor]

Mine has been on back order for a while now 😕🤷‍♂️

[@Garnetmica]

Looking forward to the results! I just bought the PRL stage 1, but will likely only run the tube through the winter months.

[@TheLemonFactor]

How do you like your PRL Stage 1?

[@Garnetmica]

The bypass is more noticeable, power delivery feels a bit smoother, tough to tell if it’s much faster. The filter makes it a little louder, but figured I would run the OEM filter through the winter months.

[@drojas3333]

Perfect timing bro, I've been looking for an air intake, looking forward to your video comparing them 👍🏼

[@TheLemonFactor]

😁

[@minassian56]

Great stuff, I am also looking forward to the results, I have a K&N drop in which is probably close to the PRL drop in filter, and I do feel better throttle response with it vs the stock, and I always wondered what the gains are as far as numbers.

[@TheLemonFactor]

👍

[@chrohm]

Wow. Great effort and well done

[@TheLemonFactor]

I appreciate that, thank you! 😁👍

[@megaming7238]

Can’t wait to see your results. I have the Mishimoto and I always wondered if I messed up not getting the PRL HVI.

[@TheLemonFactor]

My prediction is that there’s not going to be much of a difference between the two 🤔

[@Ochavez33]

Thank so much! You are the best! God bless you!

[@TheLemonFactor]

I appreciate that! Thank you 😁. If you haven’t done so already, there are several videos in which I dyno test several air intakes 👍

[@alphaj9]

If the “cold air intakes” aren’t closed wouldn’t they just be sucking in hot air from under the hood. It just seems counterproductive. I never really understood that.

[@TheLemonFactor]

Good point. None of the air intakes currently offered are real “cold air intakes” 🤷‍♂️

[@djsthemetereman]

I have the 21 Acura TLX Type-s & I'm definitely looking for even more power than the 355hp it produces

[@TheLemonFactor]

I believe KTuner has a tune for it 🤔

[@djsthemetereman]

@@TheLemonFactor They do but only 25 units were released for testing & I was told that soon they will distribute more along with more maps, but so far it's taking a while & for a guy like me who likes to tune my cars it feels like a lifetime

[@stephenrusnell8698]

You are the best. Really good content. Can't wait to see if any are worth it. Currently have RV6 downpipe, PRL front pipe, PRL intercooler and also the charge pipe kit. Was looking at intakes but most bang for buck is downpipe and Ktuner.

They certainly both have a strong following.

I love these videos so much even though I own a miata and will never own an accord lol. Hope to see more fun content for both (but of course for the miata as well!) Great work brother ❤ Definitely review that takeda closed box, interested to see how it does on a Honda.

[@TheLemonFactor]

Thank you, J H 👍. The Takeda was the first to arrive with a speedy 2 day delivery time. Maybe I should give it the honor of being tested first for the category 4 intakes 🤔. What would you like to see in the future regarding the Miata?

[@just.a.simplejoe]

@@TheLemonFactor wow that was quick delivery time, hot dang! And as far as miata testing, I hear a lot of folk in our clubs who follow you wishing to see a dyno test with the gwr maxtorque header, paired with your full kit of the midpipe/exhaust. And I also hear my friends asking me about my mishi oil catch can all the time, maybe something you could cover long term review on install & amount of build up captured to see value after so many miles. I'm bout to drain mine this Friday after 4k miles so I'll save my findings personally.

I have 2019 honda accord 2.0 manual and to save your money and time do not insrall a mishimoto air intake unless you are tuned!! It was making my car sliggish and wasnt helping proformance to my car, for the 10 speed it improves for some reason ..its wierd

[@calviny9384]

The k&n short ram one made me lose low end torque. ECU designed to only intake a certain % of air and the heat soak doesn't help. Def need a tune

Does adding an air intake increase noise significantly, something similar to aftermarket exhaust ??

[@TheLemonFactor]

Some performance air intakes add sound, while others do not. I have individually tested several and have separate videos for each, which includes sound clips. Checkout the channel playlist for access.

[@Reynosojrr]

Great video man looking forward to seeing the results so I can get the best bang for my buck. Question what all season tires would you recommend on these? I’m considering the Michelen piolet sport AS4 and would like to go up to 245 on the stock 19 rim

[@TheLemonFactor]

You can’t go wrong with Michelin’s - I’ve always had good experiences ranging from all-seasons to summer performance 👍.

[@desioasis2378]

Arent the stock tires also 245?

[@desioasis2378]

And if they arent then can you even put like a 245 tire on a rim that has a 235 on it? Im sorry im asking cuz when it comes to tires idk shit and this is actually really confusing for me. Im coming close to changing my tires and would also like to go 245 if i can but is that even possible with the stick rims?

[@TheLemonFactor]

In most cases you have some room to increase your tire width (to a point). I’ve heard and seen 245 fit fine on the stock rim 👍

[@ganzonomy]

I have pilot sport as4 on my Accord v6 sedan. Very, very good tire. If you go from stock to these, you'll notice a more direct ride, better car feedback, and it'll have a bit more grip. I love mine.

[@NicoRitondale]

The next time when you do the dyno I recommend you putting some racing oil to not damage the engine in those hard scenarios.

[@TheLemonFactor]

What do you consider racing oil?

[@JebMillenderKicking]

I'd like to know if you get any efficiency bump from upgrading the AIS? If nothing else a better turbo up to highway speeds might amount to some savings by keeping the engine/CVT from prolonged stress during the acceleration. Although on the same hand the CVT may bottleneck. Thoughts?
