I love the zoom-in on knocking the box over at 4:46 and the "shooting" the bolt off. As for intakes, it really depends on the vehicle and the kit, and there's plenty of room for aftermarket stuff to do more harm than good. My car is a 96 Camaro with a 3800 V6, and according to some online forums, the earlier year intakes like mine have somewhat restrictive air boxes, but the newer ones (I think 98+) are better. So I took all that out and put a double-coned air filter right onto the intake manifold, no tubing or adapters or anything. I'm not getting any of the air box resonance stuff, but I get some performance with weight reduction, if nothing else.

With Subaru's you really just need to do your exhaust, intake, everything you want done on the same day, then pay for a single tune, otherwise there's potentially issues with them leaning out (I know the older 2.5's are lean enough with the crappy stock tune as it is); I don't miss the cost of owning a wrx, but it was a fun vehicle, just a money pit to do everything correctly, so much so, you're better off just buying the car you really want. I ended up going 370z, yeap, N/A boring, but it handles like a dream with just an upgraded front swaybar, and is only slightly slower than the wrx > 110mph ( I had a blouch 20g on the wrx). Don't miss the expensive clutch upgrades, tmic heat soak issues, crappy brakes, never ending coilover/alignment adjustments on the wrx (it's just never going to handle like you want it to, short of if you spend the extra $$ on the sti and get the better transmission and locking center diff). Overall it was some give/take, but I now have much better control over costs with the NIssan, even though Nissan is likely to go out of business right now they way it's being ran into the ground!! I think if the FRS/BRZ goes Turbo, that'll be one fun power to weight ratio setup from the factory along with obviously much better handling than both the Z and the wrx, so that's on the radar for the next fun to drive daily, but it'll just be intake/exhaust/stage II tune and that's that.

Saw a very thorough analysis comparing air filters. It's true that more porous filters provide a small boost in performance, however, they also allow a corresponding increase in particles getting into the engine. So, the tradeoff is a 1/10 or 2/10ths in 0-60 time, but more engine wear. No free lunch.

I installed a short ram intake on my Corolla and I couldn't be happier. Sounds great now! The only thing that changed is the sound. Power and fuel economy seem to be exactly the same. Haven't noticed any issue with hot intake air because the stock intake draws in air from under the hood too (actually right above the radiator). Shouldn't have any issue. Not into cold air intakes due to the whole hydrolocking/destroying engine potential. Short Ram is the way to go IMHO. Less risky and you still get a loud intake.

The title is “are intakes even worth it” then you proceed to talk about what the best intake is for your car and how to install them. Based on the title I expected you to do a side by side comparison with actual data. Saying this, I now have the sudden urge to buy a K&N intake.

Stock air box ducting works pretty well, but the actual intake is restrictive. Ideally, ducting that pulls air away from hotter air and a higher flowing intake would be the best bet

I look at it this way, it's sounds great, it allows air to enter easier and it's a one of purchase.

Great video with all the details on cold air intake. Cool sound!! The only downside is that K&N filters ( although help in performance ), let in tons of particles in your engine. I've had K&N filters on different cars and every time the box behind or after the filter would be a lot dirtier than stock filter.

@@NineDiamont Not sure if enough owners keep their car long enough after the CAI, AND to have gathered that data centrally somewhere, for folks to document the difference. That said, just run a thought-experiment (like Einstein often does): Increased dust particles coating the backside of all your intake valves --> which will 'rub' into the valve stem seal when the intake valves close, abasing against the intake valve stem seals... Increased dust particles entering the combustion chamber, some of them coat onto the cylinder walls --> which the piston rings will scrub against in the compression stroke. During the combustion/expansion stroke, oil (on the cylinder wall) getting scrapped down into oil pan, will 'wash' some of that particle into the oil pan, which will reach the oil filter later. --> Depending on particle size, some will get trapped by oil filter, some will make it through the filter and keep circulating in the oil. The [small] ones that keep circulating in the oil, depending on the relationship between their particle size vs the parts-tolerance (that's suppose to allow a very thin layer of oil between moving parts), might or might-not contribute to additional wear. (I am not familiar with that designed-in tolerance, so unable to comment on that particular area.) I'm going to GUESS (and this is really just a guess): For folks that don't plan on keeping the car another 100K miles after the CAI, probably won't notice the longevity difference. But for folks that plan on driving their car well into 300K miles or more, the additional pass-through dirt/particles is probably not good idea. Personally, my thinking is: if a smaller-engine car can take a "stock" airbox designed for a larger-engine car, that's probably the best of both worlds - larger filtration cross section area, less flow-restriction, and still a reliable OEM filtrate. BUT, that won't come with the intake sound. And also, most small engine bays will have problem trying to fit the larger airbox... That's the direction I'm looking into at this point for my car. Already, a changed muffler made the sound better, but it becomes annoying on 6+ hour drives on the interstate - I imagine a CAI will be like that. So I'm looking for better intake air flow, but not a more pronounced sound.

I bought my intake solely for the induction sound.

Often, the increased power is caused by the car running leaner due to how the MAF sensor reads the air stream volume. Of course, as the car warms up, the computer will correct it back to stock.

My recommendation is to look up dyno results for your car comparing 3 things: Stock car, stock car with high flow filter, and car with a cold air intake. Especially on newer cars, the "stock car with high flow filter" and "car with cold air intake" will have the same results because newer air box designs are very efficient (and cold air intakes just ship with higher flow filters). Drop a K&N filter into your stock air box and get all the benefits of a cold air intake at a fraction of the cost.

Mighty car mods did a whole video on this. They had the cars on a dyno before and after the intake mods. They found that the majority of the time you are losing power, maybe staying the same. The only good thing about these intakes is the sound. That "plastic box" that was removed acts as a shield for the hot air inside the engine bay, while the plastic tube that was removed was bringing cold air from areas with cold air flow.

@chrisjfox8715

It all comes down to the design. A majority of them don't add much power because they're capitalizing on the mere concept, despite the fact that not every engine bay is going to have the space available for the perfect design. Ironically, the Mini Cooper has an aftermarket option that very well designed that adds 8HP

@carnivorebear6582

It all depends on how the intake restricts mass air flow. An OEM design restrictive to flow will do that, but so will a design that takes in the much less dense hot air. The temps under the hood can get pretty toasty travelling at city speeds, at highway speeds the temp is less of an issue. Specifically on a dyno most fan setups are ridiculously inadequate to simulate actual fresh airflow into the front bumper, so intakes prone to taking in hot air will appear worse than they actually are in real world driving conditions.

The intake was the only sound mod I did on my Miata and it was perfect. Good sound when you’re on throttle, no drone, no cop horn. I have no idea if it lost power and that’s fine

Cool and honest video! I learned alot about wave tuning with my Chrysler long ram intakes with 32" runners. I already knew from experience that the "only for low rpm" common knowledge was wrong in a big way! I have a 727 bellhousing that was split when they flashed past a 6500 rpm rev limiter to 7500+ while running in 2nd gear and was shifted to high! They would consistently lay rubber every 800 rpm or so at over 130 mph in a Chrysler Newport, once accidentally going to 7800rpm. You could drive back and see the multiple marks on the road. The higher the rpm the worse the flash. This was with only headers, a very custom cam, and the rams with hoodscoops on the stock 383 2bbl. The hood scoops made such a difference in intake temp that when I would get to work those long rams would be sweating like a pop can instead of almost too hot to touch. While reading a 1932 encyclopedia that was talking about wave tuning it said the longer the tube becomes the more standing waves are in it and the less critical the cross section area was to flow. I talked to a guy at edelbrock who had driven and dyno tested them who confirmed my findings and said they measured between 5 and 7 psi boost at the valve. I know that they floated my intake valve springs at 2800rpm that ran great up to 6500 with the same carbs on an inline intake. The key was that magic cam tuning and header tube construction. An intake like you show could really step things up at certain rpms. The downside to ram tuning is that it comes in hard at certain points and lays down about as hard at others. The longer the tubes the less distance between points.

It used to be the case decades ago where an intake would be a great modification, but these days most car filter boxes are designed better, and replacing with some cheapo intake will just introduce more contaminants into the engine. Some folks always think that they are smarter than actual engineers. Remember that race car engines get rebuilt after races.

If you aren't buying a sealed, fitted box CAI with a high flow filter...you are wasting your money. People blow money on K&N and it's no better than a Nappa/O'Reilly's Special (Spectre brand, etc). If you can't get cooled air into your engine, you aren't doing shit and the only way to guarantee that is to get a sealed box kit (like S&B). Anything else is cosmetic ricer shit that you're paying for brand over performance. Ironically....the sealed box kits almost always have a poly screen on top and look professional AF while also being cosmetically superior at the same time. Shit looks primo mint. It also makes everything sound "meaner", exhaust wise

The only intakes worth getting are those that relocate the air filter/box to a location with less heat. Some cars net respectable gains with a CAI, and some don't. It's worth spending some time looking at groups and websites dedicated to your car or engine, before investing in a CAI. On most modern cars, the primary restriction is in the exhaust, not the intake.

I like the str8 foward info you gave on both styles of aftermarket intakes. Alot of other channels make it seem like if U get a cai or short ram, your car is going to blow up. Good vid!!

You forgot to mention, reusable air filters will save you money. Those crappy cabin style filters cost like $35 a piece and you have to throw them away and buy another one. That's the main reason why you should buy aftermarket intake

great video my man!

i removed a aftermarket intake from my car because it was a cheap on that didn't have the proper vacuum hoses. it was causing a rough idle. Make sure your intake can accommodate the vacuum lines in your car.

Love your videos, they're some of my favorite anywhere. I thought I'd chip in however that air intakes don't improve fuel economy by reducing restriction. Consider that the throttle plate is literally a restrictor to control the air going in. If your filter is a little less restrictive, you end to with the throttle slightly more closed in the same driving conditions, making exactly the same restriction.

Remember to use heat isolation tape on the metal tube. As it heats when the engine is hot. Which helps to keep the air cold

I replaced the stock snorkel to my airbox which ran over the radiator hose with a straight piece that goes over the radiator directly to the front grill. My ait is now reading 5 degrees over ambient air temperature. Often times just a little mod to your snorkel can make a big improvement. Granted I did some accelerations during the polar vortex in WI with temps at -20 below before wind-chill and it didn't feel like I had a turbo. I don't think cai are worth much aside from sound which can be awesome. Can't say what's needed if you run a turbo and intercooler or need more air than stock!

Warm air intakes are for sound only. Stock air boxes have lower IATs, and muffle sound more, and are engineered by the car engineers to work with the MAF sensor best. Dyno tuning a car with the hood up leads to better results with them because they are sucking way more air than if hood was down. It is a big business and the manufacturers of them try their hardest to promote them as something special, with or without a tune.

Hey, before anyone installs their aftermarket k&n air filter, wait a day after spraying down the filter to let it dry. If you just start using it immediately it can cause contaminates to stick to the filter and require faster cleaning, and the oil could be sucked into the engine

bought a 2004 Jetta recently and it seems the air-filter wasn't changed in a good number of years. The revs would dip a lot, and the car would often stall. Temporarily took a cone air intake from my brother's car (needs a lot of time, money and repairs). Works and sounds great, but it does seem sluggish is the mid-rpm range. Will probably restore the OEM intake system after getting a new air-filter.

Installing an open filter in the engine bay will actually decrease power most of the time. It might let in more air, but under hood air temps are very hot. The factory air box might be restrictive, but it pulls in cooler air from outside the engine bay. If you install an open filter, either use a cold air box to shield from engine heat, or put the filter outside of the engine bay. I cut a hole in my engine bay and mounted the filter in front of the wheel well. It's shielded from road debris and hot engine air
