KAX Engine & Cabin Air Filter Kit for Honda Pilot 2023-2025 / Acura MDX 2022-2026 — CA12934 & CF11182, charcoal cabin filter

KAX CA12934 CF11182 is a two-piece replacement kit containing an engine air filter and a coconut shell–activated charcoal cabin air filter designed for Honda Pilot 2023–2025 and Acura MDX 2022–2026 3.5L vehicles.

This kit bundles the two most commonly replaced intake filters so you can refresh engine breathing and cabin air at the same time. The engine filter uses multi-layer filtration media to help protect engine components from dust and debris, while the cabin filter features coconut shell–activated charcoal to reduce odors and capture fine particles. KAX engineered the pair to be simple to install and to match factory fit and airflow characteristics for the listed vehicle models.

Which vehicles does this KAX kit fit?

The CA12934 (engine) and CF11182 (cabin) filters were selected specifically for Late-Model Honda Pilot and Acura MDX with the 3.5L engine. Fitment is based on OEM sizes and airbox locations for those model years. Always cross-check your vehicle year and engine code before purchasing.

• Honda Pilot model years: 2023, 2024, 2025
• Acura MDX model years: 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 (3.5L)
• Includes both engine air filter (CA12934) and cabin air filter (CF11182) for one-stop replacement

How do these filters improve everyday driving?

Replacing the engine and cabin filters at recommended intervals helps maintain airflow and filtration where it matters most. The engine filter supports steady air delivery to combustion systems, while the charcoal cabin filter traps pollen, dust and common odors for a more comfortable interior. Together they contribute to smoother operation and a cleaner-feeling cabin environment.

• Engine filter protects intake components from debris and particulates
• Cabin filter with activated charcoal reduces odors and VOCs
• Improved air flow consistency supports HVAC and engine performance

How difficult is installation, and what tools do I need?

Installation is designed to be straightforward for owners or technicians familiar with basic vehicle maintenance. Most replacements require only simple hand tools and can be completed in about five minutes per filter once access panels are opened. Clear steps and OEM-sized fit mean no trimming or modification is typically necessary.

• Estimated install time: ~5 minutes per filter for most users
• Common tools: screwdriver or small socket set for access panels
• No modifications needed—direct-fit replacement parts

When should I replace both filters together?

KAX recommends changing the engine and cabin filters as a pair every 12 months or every 12,000 miles to maintain balanced protection and cabin comfort. Replacing both at once reduces the chance that one aging filter will undermine the benefits of a new one, and it simplifies future maintenance scheduling.

• Recommended interval: 12 months or 12,000 miles
• Replacing together saves time and long-term maintenance cost
• Check more frequently in dusty or high-pollution environments

Who this kit is for: Drivers of Honda Pilot (2023–2025) and Acura MDX (2022–2026 3.5L) who want a convenient, matched replacement for both engine and cabin air filters. This is a good option for DIY maintainers and professional technicians seeking OEM-style fitment, odor-reducing cabin filtration and an uncomplicated single-purchase solution to keep engine intake and interior air quality in sync.
