Product Description

The AEM 21-854C Dryflow Cold Air Intake System is a quality performance upgrade engineered specifically for the 2018-2022 Honda Accord with the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. This vehicle-specific intake replaces the restrictive stock intake components with a smooth-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube and high-capacity Dryflow air filter to bring cooler, denser air into the engine for improved combustion. The included heat shield and edge trim help reduce intake air temperatures from engine bay heat, allowing for a more efficient air charge during acceleration.

With dyno-validated gains of around ~8 HP and enhanced throttle response, this system improves daily drivability while adding a subtle performance induction sound. The oil-free Dryflow filter is washable and reusable, lasting up to roughly 100,000 miles between cleanings under normal driving conditions, making maintenance simple and cost-effective. AEM's Limited Lifetime Warranty backs this intake, and the complete kit includes all necessary hardware for a straightforward installation on compatible Honda Accord models.
