HPS Performance Products Engine Cold Air Intake

HPS Performance 827 Series Cold Air Intake Kits

When it comes to bolt-on engine breathing upgrades, HPS Performance Products has earned a reputation among enthusiasts for delivering measurable, dyno-proven results. Their engine cold air intake lineup — built around the flagship 827 Series Performance Air Intake Kit — replaces restrictive factory airboxes with precision-engineered induction systems designed to put more cool, dense air into your engine on every pull.

What Sets the 827 Series Apart

HPS Performance is a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-temperature reinforced silicone hoses, aluminum tubing, and performance cold air intake kits. That manufacturing background directly shapes how their intakes are built. Rather than outsourcing components, HPS integrates their own silicone coupler technology and hardware into every kit.

• Mandrel-bent aluminum tubing and a reusable high-flow cotton air filter are standard across the lineup for improved airflow.
• Heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shields keep intake air temperatures at a minimum, and on select kits the shield cover can be removed to increase in-cabin induction sound.
• Race-proven reinforced silicone hoses and industrial-grade 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps ensure reliability even during the most extreme driving conditions.
• Each kit includes a reusable air filter that can be cleaned and reused, providing long-term cost savings compared to disposable filters.
• Kits do not require tuning and do not trigger a check engine light, and no modification is required during installation.

Dyno-Proven Gains Across Popular Platforms

HPS backs up every intake claim with real-world dyno testing. Gains of up to 6.1 horsepower and 6.2 lb-ft. of torque have been documented on naturally aspirated applications , while forced-induction platforms can see far greater results. On turbocharged vehicles such as the Acura MDX Type S, dyno-proven gains reach up to 19 horsepower and 27 lb-ft. of torque. For performance-oriented platforms like the Honda Civic Type R FL5, HPS intake kits deliver dyno-proven gains of 13.9 horsepower and 16.2 lb-ft. of torque at 4,500 RPM, while also reducing turbo lag.

Aircraft-Grade Construction and Heat Management

The intake kits feature a premium aircraft-grade aluminum intake tube that offers superior airflow compared to restrictive stock components. A custom-made enclosed heat shield effectively isolates the intake air from the high temperatures in the engine bay, preventing heat soak and ensuring cooler air is directed into the engine — cooler air intake temperatures lead to increased power and improved overall engine efficiency.

Installation is straightforward, requiring only basic hand tools and no additional modifications or tuning — the plug-and-play design allows for seamless integration into your vehicle. With 59 fitment-specific SKUs spanning a wide range of makes and models, HPS offers one of the more comprehensive vehicle coverage maps in the cold air intake segment.
