Are Aftermarket Intakes Even Worth It?

I really love how they make it very clear in every episode that checking forums and being apart of the car community is an essential part in understanding your car.

I like how he answers the question in the first few seconds then goes through explaining why and what to get. Donut is really unmatched

I like installing intakes on every vehicle, it’s nice to hear the air rush into throttle. It’s usually an immediate upgrade, but even better with a tune.

I think the sound is the main reason that I like them. The sound alone makes you feel like you're going faster lol. So any difference that it made is enhanced by the noise I feel. Maybe I'm weird but I never leave any of those stock air snorkel things. I always got it and have straight piping right up to the throttle body

"anyone want this air filter?" throws it on the ground Everyone: not anymore!

The gun shot when he was using the drill made me jump. I thought he shorted the battery

He does a great job of breaking down the performance and relevance of specific parts for viewers who might not be as “car savvy” to understand the functionality, much appreciated

Zach is great! Technical with a splash of fun! Love the sound of a good intake!

Imagine if this series goes on for years and he ends up with a 600 horsepower miata 😂

but my Cobb intake comes with a cool sticker and makes whooshing noises!

I had the RB intake, with RB headers and muffler on my NB2 and it sounded amazing. Have that 1.8 a nice rumble, almost like a wrx. Loved it

Thank you so very much for EXPLAINING what you were doing and why! What a difference! I'm upgrading asap! You rock dude! Good humor too! Cheers!

"Money Pit" = best car modification show title ever!

If your filter is clogged/dirty the car just has allergies.

Worth noting that K&N filters are less restrictive and let more particles in. On a racecar that you take out on weekends, sure. But if you want to use your vehicle for as long as mechanically possible, a normal disposable paper air filter would be a safer choice in terms of reliability.

On my 95 4runner I put on a cold air intake and it helped a lot! Made it sound better, and gave a bit of extra power. Plus it was easy to clean and put back rather than buying a new filter each time

RIP to the cruise control wiring that never got replaced😂

That shot tho. Had to go back and make sure the drill didn’t actually blow up

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.

I've seen this video about 15 times because this is an awesome series to watch. But every time I watch it, I am always caught off guard with the gunshot. That has to be the best edit I have ever seen! It's so funny and I never expect it which makes it even better!
