Does the Intake Kit for Honda Accord 3.5L V6 fit the four-cylinder Accord?

No. HPS lists part number 827-780 only for the 2013-2017 Honda Accord 3.5L V6, in EX, EX-L and Touring trim for 2013 and EX-L and Touring trim for 2014-2017. The 2.4L four-cylinder Accord of the same years uses HPS kit 827-555, which BA lists separately.

The kit includes the HPS aluminum intake tube, a heavy-duty steel heat shield, a washable and reusable HPS air filter, a high-temperature reinforced silicone coupler, stainless steel T-bolt clamps, mounting hardware and digital installation instructions. Every finish uses the same parts list, with the tube offered in polished, black, blue or red.

How much does the intake improve performance?

HPS recorded 6.5 whp and 6.1 lb-ft of torque on its dyno, along with improved throttle response, while keeping a safe air fuel ratio. Those are wheel figures from HPS testing, and a given car may see somewhat different results depending on its condition, fuel and the weather.

Is a tune or any cutting needed?

No. HPS states that the kit does not require tuning and that no modification is needed during installation. The installation manual walks through each step with clear photos, and the job comes down to removing the factory air box and fitting the tube, heat shield, filter and clamps.

Why does the Intake Kit for Honda Accord 3.5L V6 use a steel heat shield?

The filter in this short ram design sits in the engine bay, where heat from the V6 can warm the incoming air. The HPS Intake Kit for Honda Accord 3.5L V6 models uses a heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shield to block that hot air from the filter, which HPS says gives the best cooling effect.

Description

HPS Cold Air Intake Kit for Honda Accord 3.5L V6

HPS’s Cold Air Intake Kit for Honda Accord 3.5L V6 gives the 2013-2017 EX, EX-L and Touring a 3-1/2 inch mandrel-bent aluminum tube in place of the restrictive stock air box, a size up from the 2-3/4 inch tube on the HPS four-cylinder Accord kit. A heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shield stands between the washable HPS filter and engine heat. HPS measured 6.5 whp and 6.1 lb-ft on its dyno, which makes this a sensible first modification for a V6 owner chasing crisper throttle response.

Design and Performance

HPS fine-tuned the kit for the top end of the power band, and that is where the 3.5L will feel the change. A 6.5 whp gain on an engine this size is modest, so expect response more than outright speed. Because the filter sits in the engine bay, the steel heat shield does the cooling work here, and it should stay fitted.

Lightweight mandrel-bent aluminum alloy tube replaces the restrictive stock air box
Heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shield blocks hot air from the filter

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
