Does the Charge Pipe Kit for Acura TLX Type S fit the 2.0L Turbo TLX?

No. HPS lists part number 17-164 for the 2021-2025 Acura TLX Type S 3.0L V6 Turbo only, including the 2023 PMC Edition. The 2.0L Turbo TLX is not on the HPS application list for this kit, so check for the Type S and its 3.0L engine before ordering.

What is the hot side made from?

The hot side is a custom 4-ply reinforced silicone hose with a 2-3/8-inch inside diameter, which HPS describes as resistant to high pressure and high temperature. Only the cold side is aluminum, a 3-inch outside diameter 6061 tube that HPS mandrel-bends for smoother airflow than the factory part.

How much power does the Charge Pipe Kit for Acura TLX Type S add?

HPS publishes no dyno figures for the Charge Pipe Kit for Acura TLX Type S. HPS credits it with enhanced throttle response and a smoother cold side for airflow, but sells it mainly on lifespan and reliability, since HPS says the factory rubber charge pipes fail over time.

Which factory parts does the kit replace?

The kit replaces Acura OEM part numbers 17293-6S9-A01 and 17282-6S9-A01, the factory hot and cold side charge pipes on the TLX Type S. It is a direct replacement, and HPS supplies 100% stainless steel embossed hose clamps so each joint seals under boost.

Are installation instructions included?

Yes. HPS supplies digital installation instructions with the kit. The job means removing both factory charge pipes, then fitting the HPS aluminum cold side pipe and silicone hot side hose with the supplied couplers and clamps. HPS does not quote an install time or a difficulty rating for this kit.

HPS Hot and Cold Side Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit for Acura TLX Type S 3.0L Turbo

HPS’s Hot and Cold Side Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit for Acura TLX Type S 3.0L Turbo pairs a 3-inch mandrel-bent 6061 aluminum cold side pipe with a custom 4-ply silicone hot side hose, replacing Acura parts 17293-6S9-A01 and 17282-6S9-A01 on the 2021-2025 second-generation TLX Type S. HPS describes the factory charge pipes as rubber parts that fail over time. The kit is aimed at the owner who would rather replace aging rubber in the boost path before it gives out than after.

Design and Performance

HPS keeps the hot side flexible here, supplying a 2-3/8-inch silicone hose, and saves aluminum for the cold side, where a smoother-than-stock bore helps airflow toward the engine. HPS sells the kit chiefly on lifespan and reliability, with enhanced throttle response as a side benefit, and publishes no dyno figures. Buy it to retire the factory rubber, not to chase a horsepower number.

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.
