yea; I'd even say some cars require tune.... STIs are fairly terrible without; they'll lean out and misifire on boost with just a CAI.

​@Aerogrow turbo motors are picky and you really should tune it with an intake. NA engine require minimal, if any, changes because of an intake.. just like the changes you'll notice with an intake on a NA, minimal... if any 😅😂

Yup. If you consider intakes to be sound mods then you’re in the right mind set. Porsche put the Cayman GT4RS intake right behind your head and every journalist raves about the sound

do you have to tune?

@@juliansky7989 yes

Probably just added complexity not being worth it in the end. I can see how also a longer intake piping can mess with airflow and throttle response. Idk anything about Miatas but id imagine there are smaller sized cone filters available so you’d be able to close the hood properly?

@@poopsie117 there isn't an easy way to do it because of the shape of the radiator and front bracing/crash structure. It actually makes quite a difference in intake temps too, up to 40 Fahrenheit or more, so if it was easy a lot more kits would be sold for it. So everyone is out there running warm air intakes

​@@GetOffMyLog to be fair, 99.999999% of CAI actually take away from the well engineered intakes that actually suck cold air from the factory and give you nice warm air that reduces your engines power.

there's a company making actual cold air intakes for the NA miatas now (I think it's napp performance) but the problem is they're more expensive than the Racing Beat one is (like $400 vs like $330) and it doesn't even come with a filter, only the pipes. IDK how much power they're making compared to other intakes, but honestly I'll save the extra $70+filter cost to just get a kit that is complete and hang on to the extra money in the turbo kit fund :)

It also helps your engine go knock knock! Put the stock one back on. It can handle up to 400hp just fine and if you're making that kind of power in a Subaru then you've already got the support for the intake. Subarus hate aftermarket intakes.

If you tune for cobb intake it will be fine

@@SavouryLobster never add any part without tuning on a subaru. Just slapping an intake and bov on is a good way to blow up

@@SavouryLobster Yup, that's the issue, people get the intake separately without a tune. 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.

what impact does it have on the longevity of the car and motor?

@@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.

$245 for just that? Catch me getting a shift piece of 3 in u pipe and a filter for less than 100

I was going to move to an area near Bend, Oregon but l decided against it once l discovered you can't pump your own gas there.

@@wvusmc that’s the whole reason? I was against it in the beginning too but now I like it as long as the gas station isn’t busy

When l got home and tried to use my card it was denied. Dude stole my credit card info and made a bunch of online purchases so that sort of did it for me. It's not really the reason but that's my excuse. I still visit that area once a year, though. I just pay with cash. New Jersey has the same law. I live in a college town where there's a bunch of students from NJ and I've had to show someone a couple of times how to use the pumps. Weird law.

@@wvusmc jeez! That’s a much better reason!

Go to Mighty Car Mods, they actually did dyno testing. The results are minimal or worse! And not even close to 6 wheel horse power!

If you just add the K&N that goes in the box you will be way better off. Open element filter just suck in hot air which ruins any performance gain from the extra flow.

Garth S there has a been a lot of testing of new cars with drop in performance filters that show a very small gain in power. Project Farm showed that a KN drop in filter let in more particles than a good quality paper filter. I am not sure how accurate it is in real world but it does give us an idea.

Garth S even better leave your stock filter in. The oils from a k&n filter along with it’s capability to trap less dirt is a good way to shorten the life of your MAF

Not enough spraying WD-40 all over everything for Scotty to stick around.

@@The_Fat_Turtle Not enough clickbait or grunting either.

Scotty Kilmer is secretly god

@@invincibleunderthesun8545 Indeed, he is Epimetheus.

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

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.

this is very true. a quality flat filter will provide more surface area for airflow filtration, meaning as it catches particles there is still plenty of space for air to take another route through the element. the main issue is turbulence caused by sharp turns in the box, and the muffled intake sound. most people go aftermarket just for more noise without a full aftermarket exaust.

I wanna know his setup

That’s what a intake rain guard is for

I made one for a laugh and an experiment, and it worked surprisingly well, but amongst other reasons, sucking rain in is why I took it off. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/p6hehmeEjY6Wp2w.html

This may be a dumb question but what is the probability of water going in and what happens when water goes in?

@@pratikpatel1631 on the one in my video? A high probability I’d say....

Mine sits right under a hood vent and even during a heavy rain there's no way it would even see remotely enough water to do any damage. Especially if you have one of the many hydrophobic covers that are available.. Now if someone does some janky custom air box that literally holds water like a bucket, then I could see that being an issue.

This guys is a teen ager...still using that chepo..coffee filter.

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

@Jack Myhre spoken like a true casual. If you don't have "93 octane in your veins"....you'll never understand. It's the chase that never ends....you can always squeeze out a little more.

@Jack Myhre You are probably not a car enthusiast and that is ok, as most people aren't. I would agree with you, that we all could get from point A to point B in a CVT Mitsubishi Mirage. 78 hp will do the job screaming in protest, however if that was the only car available, most enthusiasts would be looking for ways to make it stand out, sound better and move out faster.
