2008 Honda Accord K&N Air Filter and Intake Upgrade Boosts Performance

A 2008 Honda Accord K&N air filter and intake upgrade can give your sleek little machine a serious power boost. The solid, reliable, roomy Accord has been a standard bearer for family sedans for years, but recent upgrades and changes may leave you longing for more power where it really counts.

The Honda Accord has changed significantly since the first one rolled off the assembly lines in 1976, but its reputation has remained strong. The Accord is a solid, roomy, reliable machine that retains its resale value for years. The 2008 Honda Accord got a stylish new look that’s added to its desirability. The only hitch in the Accord’s bright reviews is power – the 2008 Honda Accord comes in two different 4-cyl engine flavors – 2.4L and 3.5L. Four cylinders are enough to get you where you’re going, but if you like a little extra oomph under the hood, you may have to do a little aftermarket modding. One of the simplest upgrades – taking just about an hour and a half of your time – is replacing the OEM air filter and intake box with a custom-crafted 2008 Honda Accord K&N air filter and cold air intake replacement.

K&N, known throughout the automotive world for their custom-crafted aftermarket parts, have been designing air filter replacements for over 40 years. Rather than creating a knock-off of the factory part, K&N engineers get down to the design level and figure out how to modify the OEM engine parts to deliver more performance and better fuel performance. The 2008 Honda Accord K&N air filter will fit the standard Accord filter box, providing a permanent replacement for the factory-installed paper air filter. You’ll get up to 50,000 miles before the air filter needs attention. At that point, you can remove it, rinse it clean and reinstall it. The 100 percent oiled cotton filter is designed for maximum air flow, which will increase your engine’s performance.

If you want to take your mods a step further, K&N also makes an entire air intake system for the 2008 Honda Accord. Their own tests show a reported 11.13 horsepower increase at 5600 RPM after the installation of the 2008 Honda Accord K&N air filter and intake system. The air intake system replaces the factory air box with a heat shield assembly that ensures a consistent flow of fresh air, which provides increased power and excellent filtering.

Honda Ridgeline K&N Air Filter and Intake Boosts Performance

If you’re looking for a serious power upgrade for your 2006, 2007 or 2008 Honda Ridgeline, K&N air filter upgrade is custom made for you. No, seriously. K&N, the world’s most recognizable name in aftermarket upgrades, offers custom-crafted air filters for hundreds of makes and models of motor vehicles. The Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter upgrade kit is designed to take advantage of the Ridgeline’s unusual construction and specs.

The 2006-2008 Honda Ridgeline offers some truly distinctive features, things you just won’t find in other pickup trucks. Those include unibody construction, a transverse-mounted 3.5 liter V-6 engine and four-wheel independent suspension. High quality construction deserves the best aftermarket treatment, and with a Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter, that’s exactly what you get.

K&N engineering has designed the K&N air filter and intake specifically to work with the Honda Ridgeline’s computer specs, so it maximizes power while allowing almost completely unimpeded air flow. The result of a full Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter and air intake installation is an impressive horsepower gain of 9.70 at just over 5,000 revs. While you may not notice much difference at lower revs, once you hit the 4,000+ mark, you’ll swear you’ve swapped out the Ridgeline’s fuel-efficient V-6 for a fully powered monster V-8.

K&N engineers took advantage of the unique features of the Ridgeline’s construction to introduce a few mods that give your engine serious power. The large con Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter removes the factory restrictions on air intake, and tapped into the fresh air duct on the 2006-2008 Ridgeline body to feed extra air into the custom high-intake air filter. Since the air from this intake is shielded from the high engine temperature, it hits the engine cold and provides an additional boost to horsepower.

Topping off the performance bonus, K&N uses great-looking parts – the polished intake tube adds a distinctive look on your Ridgeline’s engine. And, like all K&N air filters, the Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter is a permanent replacement – just pull out the air filter, rinse it and reinstall it.

K&N says it takes about 40 minutes to install the air intake kit and lifetime filter on your Honda Ridgeline, but reports from the field suggest that you should give yourself about 90 minutes before you have to be somewhere. If that’s a little more complex than you want, you can opt for the Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter alone – just pull out the old filter, drop in the new replacement filter and you’re good to go.
