Acura CL Parts & Type-S Upgrades

Shop Acura CL parts and accessories for a Type-S intake upgrade, a brake refresh or everyday coupe maintenance. Compare Injen intake applications, Brembo pads and rotors, PowerStop brake kits, lighting and other service parts for your CL’s year and configuration. Bring the 1997–1999 CL and 2001–2003 3.2CL applications into focus before choosing your parts.

Acura CL Performance and Replacement Parts

A CL project can start with a focused change under the hood or a coordinated service of the brakes and everyday wear items. Choose the part family that suits the job: an intake assembly changes the induction hardware, a pad-and-rotor package addresses brake service, and individual replacement components let you build a more specific parts list.

• Cold air intakes: compare Injen Type-S applications, tubing, filter layout and the correct transmission-specific kit.

• Brake kits: compare PowerStop Z23 packages with the individual pads and rotors needed for your project.
• Lighting and visibility: explore listed LED bulb and wiper replacements by bulb position or arm attachment.
• Service components: review the listed timing-belt, battery and suspension-service applications for the work you are planning.

Injen Intake Options for the CL Type-S

The Injen RD1481P cold air intake is a listed Type-S option, with a polished tube and a separate application from the 2003 manual-transmission kit. Its application excludes 2003 manual CL Type-S models; Injen identifies RD1660 for that manual configuration. Keep this transmission split when comparing the intake kits, then review the chosen kit’s emissions documentation and installation requirements.

Build Your CL Brake Service Package

Compare individual pads and rotors with a packaged brake kit based on the axle you are servicing and the parts already due for replacement. For a road-driven CL, start with compounds listed for street use. A competition compound has a different intended operating range, so choose it for the use described by its manufacturer.

Choose Your Part

• Select the model year, engine and standard or Type-S trim.
• Identify automatic or manual transmission, especially for a 2003 Type-S intake.
• Match the exact part number and any stated application exclusion.
• For brakes, confirm axle, installed caliper and rotor dimensions; check package contents for the complete job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What parts can I shop for an Acura CL?

Compare intake applications, brake pads, rotors, brake kits and selected lighting and service components. Each product lists its own CL year, trim and equipment coverage.

Which Injen intake should I compare for a 2003 manual CL Type-S?

Injen identifies RD1660 for the 2003 CL Type-S with manual transmission. RD1481P excludes that configuration, so use the transmission-specific application.

Should I buy separate brake parts or a brake kit?

Separate pads and rotors let you replace the components needed for the job. A kit groups the items stated in its package, which can simplify an axle service. Compare the supplied parts and the fitted brake assembly.

Are CL and TL parts interchangeable?

Only where the exact manufacturer application covers both. Use the listed model, engine and transmission coverage when comparing a shared product.

Can I use a competition brake pad for everyday driving?

Choose a pad whose intended use matches your driving. Competition compounds can have operating requirements that differ from street pads; follow the manufacturer’s compound guidance.
