PRL Motorsports High-Volume Intake System for 2023+ Honda Civic Type R (FL5) 11th Gen

The PRL Motorsports High-Volume Intake System is a purpose-built upgrade for the 2023+ Honda Civic Type R (FL5 2.0T Turbo Motor). This 11th-gen Type R thrives on cool, unrestricted airflow—and that’s exactly what this intake delivers. Through extensive R&D, PRL developed a system to feed your turbocharged engine with the coldest air possible from the front of the car. The result? More oxygen, more power, and better boost control.

❄ Cold Air Intakes and Their Benefits

Cold air intakes, like this one, replace the factory air intake system, which often includes restrictive twists and turns. PRL’s design creates a smoother, more direct airflow path that gets more oxygen to the engine. This improves combustion and boosts overall performance.

This intake draws cooler air from outside the engine bay. Because cold air is denser, it carries more oxygen. That extra oxygen leads to better efficiency and noticeable horsepower gains.

↻ Smooth Bends for Optimal Airflow

The PRL intake features carefully engineered bends to reduce turbulence. Turbulence disrupts airflow, causing inefficiencies. By ensuring smooth transitions, this system delivers consistent, oxygen-rich air to your engine—critical for the Civic Type R’s turbocharged setup.

✅ Turbo Engines and Performance Gains

Turbo engines generate heat as they compress air. Cooler, high-volume air helps reduce intake temps and improves turbocharger efficiency. This intake allows the turbo to spool quicker, hold boost longer, and produce power across more of the RPM range.

The result is snappier throttle response, better midrange torque, and increased top-end pull—especially valuable on tuned or track-driven cars.

✅ Extra Sounds and Blow-Off Noises

This intake doesn’t just boost performance—it adds drama. You’ll hear more aggressive turbo and engine sounds, especially under hard acceleration. It also brings out the signature blow-off noises enthusiasts crave.

Blow-off sounds occur when the turbo vents pressure between shifts or throttle lift. With this system, those sounds are more defined and satisfying—adding a sportier feel without compromising reliability.

✅ Easy Installation and Maintenance

Installation is simple and doesn’t require permanent modifications. Everything you need—hardware, filter, instructions—is included. It’s a bolt-on upgrade that takes little time but offers big results.

The reusable air filter is easy to clean and maintain, making upkeep a breeze. Just inspect and service it periodically to ensure peak performance.

⭐ Customer Reviews

Owners consistently praise this intake for its build quality, sound, and throttle response. It’s a top pick among Civic Type R enthusiasts seeking a reliable, noticeable upgrade.

From improved drivability to enhanced engine tone, it checks all the boxes—and then some.
