• ZDX production ended after the 2013 model year - all ZDX fitment applies to 2010-2013 only

Product Description

The K&N 33-2454 is a high-flow, washable drop-in panel air filter engineered as a direct replacement for the factory air filter in the second-generation Acura MDX (2010-2014) and the Acura ZDX (2010-2013), both equipped with the 3.7L V6 and Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system. Built with multiple layers of precision-oiled cotton gauze between aluminum wire mesh screens, it delivers significantly more airflow than the restrictive OEM paper filter while maintaining up to 99% filtration efficiency - resulting in improved throttle response and measurable horsepower gains without any modifications to the factory airbox.

Installation requires no tools, adapters, or modifications - simply remove the stock filter and drop the K&N directly into the existing airbox. With a service interval of once every 75,000 miles and K&N's 10-Year/Million Mile Warranty, the 33-2454 is a long-term, cost-effective upgrade for MDX and ZDX owners. Note: for 2007-2009 MDX use K&N 33-2383; for the 2014+ third-generation MDX with the 3.5L V6, use K&N 33-5013.
