On a 3.5L V6 hauling a Ridgeline or a loaded Pilot, that restriction is real, and it's most felt when the engine is working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe high-volume duct opens that path up. More air into the box means the engine breathes more freely under load, which is where a naturally aspirated V6 in a heavy vehicle actually needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePair It With The Stage 1 Intake\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural next step, and the reason it's worth doing together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe duct feeds more air toward the airbox, and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/prl-motorsports-stage-1-intake-system-22-26-civic-si?_pos=5\u0026amp;_sid=55f44e10d\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eStage 1 Intake System\u003c\/a\u003e handles everything downstream of it. Running both opens up the whole path from the inlet through the intake rather than just the duct on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey're designed to work together, so this isn't two products fighting for the same job. The duct is the inlet, the Stage 1 is the system it feeds, and together they're the full airflow upgrade for the 3.5L while still needing no tune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNo Tune, Genuine Bolt-On\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo ECU calibration required. The duct improves airflow into the factory metering setup rather than changing how air is measured, so the ECU reads what it expects and nothing needs recalibrating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward with the included hardware. The kit comes with the thermoplastic duct, a 4-ply silicone hose, stainless worm clamps, push-clips, and a resonator plug to seal off the factory resonator port the stock duct used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e(1) Thermoplastic inlet air duct\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e(1) 4-ply silicone intake hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e(3) Stainless steel worm gear clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e(2) Push-clips\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e(1) Resonator plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2017+ Honda Ridgeline\u003cbr\u003e2016-2022 Honda Pilot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e3.5L V6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWho Should Grab This\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the Ridgeline or Pilot owner who wants more airflow without buying a full intake, and for anyone building toward one who'd rather start with the cheapest piece that stacks.
