I got annoyed with it just driving from STechnic to ASG for the tune, haha. Ended up being half happy that it was fucked off.

Nah for that very reason i decided to give up on a CAI but possible 15Hp for 400 bux, some noises and easy install meh why not.

The Cob system in general was regarded as the hardest to tune. don't count the accesport people that reckon their car runs awesome and probably the loudest since its so short.

CAI's are worth putting in. The guy that tunes for ecutek just struggles with them for some reason. My tuner runs an AEM and recommended it and I haven't had any issues at all. I could feel the difference quite easily between the crappy Blitz one and the AEM when I made the change.

My PW one lost me a bit of torque (4-5 Nm) and gained me a bit of powah (~19HP), but I love the noise. Not too loud, if the stereo is up, you can't hear it, but it's there if you need to do a YOLO drive-by B)

Yeah from what I can tell there's two schools of thought with CAI's
1: it does fuck all but make noise, don't do it
2: easy 15 to 20Hp for a few hundred $$ mad if you don't
My experience was got it put on and tuned by Mao, the dash kept lighting up like a Xmas tree so was told I needed a boost controller
Went to Maxumum's for a second opinion, they took of the Cobb CAI and went back to factory box then did Ecutec tune and now runs sweet & strong
Happy days😎

The biggest issue you can have with running one of these is the MAF.

Issues are
Is the internal inside diamitor of the pipe the same as the OEM pipe ?
If not the MAF can not correctly measure the air flow.

The position of the MAF sensor on the pipe
It's best for it to be located as far away as possible from the Air cleaner to get a stable flow rate.
Yes the AEM one works, but I don't believe it works as well as a unit like process west has designed.

Hey seagull didnt you happen to see the link on the op with link to the grimmspeed one ? If so thoughts? from what can see they went out of the way to address that issue..

Probably just marketing though I'm not a expert on tuning or anything.


You say far from the maf is good hey? I've been told the opposite :/ even with some cai's the maf position varies between the wrx and sti like on the typhoon system wrx being close and sti being far. Edit see pics same intake.

I'm quite the tuning noob here, but how does getting a boost controller resolve issues associated with a CAI?
