Detailed Description

Built as a replacement engine air filter for Honda Accord, Honda Crosstour, Honda Accord Crosstour, Acura TL, and Acura TSX applications, the WIX 49041 is sized as a panel filter with a length of 10.256 inches, width of 8.032 inches, and height of 1.717 inches.

This part cross-references FRAM CA10468 and K&N 33-2403 for the same application. The WIX 49041 is a practical OE-style choice when servicing the intake system on a 2010-2013 Acura TSX, 2008-2012 Honda Accord, or 2013-2015 Honda Crosstour.

What It Helps Address

• Restricted airflow from a dirty or clogged engine air filter

• Dust and debris entering the intake system
• Moisture-related media breakdown in harsh weather conditions
• Premature service issues caused by overdue filter replacement
