Weapon-R 2004–2007 Acura TL 3.2L V6 Secret Weapon Intake
The Weapon-R Secret Weapon Intake System is engineered for the 2004–2007 Acura TL 3.2L V6 to maximize airflow, boost horsepower, and enhance throttle response using advanced physics-based design. Crafted from premium 6061 aluminum with CNC mandrel-bent tubing and a polished finish, it leverages the Coanda effect and Bernoulli's principle to create dual-velocity air profiles, delivering up to three times more air than stock intakes. Paired with the high-performance SW1 air filter featuring a tuned velocity stack and reusable high-density foam, this system ensures superior filtration and dyno-proven gains while maintaining CARB compliance.
Key Features
- CNC Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Tubing: Precision-formed for optimal airflow and durable construction.
- Dual-Velocity Airflow Design: Utilizes Coanda and Bernoulli principles for 3x increased air volume and speed.
- SW1 High-Flow Filter: Reusable open-pore foam with velocity stack for maximum filtration efficiency.
- Polished Show Finish: Enhances engine bay aesthetics with corrosion-resistant protection.
- Dyno-Tested Performance: Increases horsepower and acceleration with improved engine sound.
- CARB Exempt (EO# D-489-3): Legal for use in all 50 states, including California.
