Literally THE BEST instructions video for any intake, period. I'm going with your brand because of this video and because of your reputation on Accord forums.

[@ScagsWH13]

Excellent job showing how it's installed. Clear and concise. Got mine in the mail yesterday and hope to install this weekend. Thanks Mishimoto!

[@junlee7763]

I instantaneously subscribed your channel once you showed all the tools needed at the beginning of the video. And I do not even plan or want to do with my OEM intake anyways. KZbin algorithm somehow got me here😂

[@bigrig9749]

awesome! i just got a 22 touring Accord plan on getting a Mishi and putting it in soon.

[@sunnydlite78]

Looks Super Dope

[@rikiventura1094]

Just finished installing mine, really helpful video I got that same watch by the way lol 1:37

[@FoodWithChrisy]

Is a whistling sound normal after letting go of the gas sometimes? Just installed today

[@TheKingkingg]

Awesome 👍

[@corpuzone]

In my opinion, the best looking fully integrated cold air intake upgrade for the 2.0t baby type R engine!! It looks so nice, blends in with the dark grey and carbon fiber cover for the intake. My question is - would we need a tune to use this and have an aftermarket exhaust system? Is that necessary? I already bought a cheap replacement since my filter is filthy lol.. never changed since 2018.. but that won’t happen again.

[@Gasani86]

Sound clips please?

[@dfilipinodefined7182]

Just installed mine couple weeks ago and I loved it! Question, how often do I need to clean or re- oil the filter? Can you tell me the size of that filter? There’s 6,7&8inch on your website need make sure that I get the right one as my back up when I clean it up

[@mishimoto]

If you were looking to purchase a replacement filter you would be looking at model number MMAF-3005S

[@danielsaun1]

Thanks for the vid wish there was sound?

[@mishimoto]

Check out our testing video, there is a short clip of the car running on the dyno.

[@6697carlos]

I wish they make one for the 1.5

[@zy973]

They make all kind brands for 1.5t

[@alexross5620]

How much; and does it sound a hair a more blow off valve sound than the one on eBay with the adapter and a open cone or even K&n with the surround box

[@mishimoto]

You will find a link to the product page in the video description for the most up to date price. This will increase the induction noise of the engine. How much more compared to what else you have come across we cant say.

[@guillermosolano5725]

I have the same intake but do i really need to keep the carbon fiber lid on?

[@mishimoto]

The lid keeps the cold air coming from the feed inside and prevents as much hot air from entering the intake as possible.

[@lebebop9931]

Any audio of how it sounds? I really like the design and the function of your intake, but I also want to hear my turbo more.

[@mishimoto]

There is a quick clip of it on our dyno here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWKqp6uQbcaYa7c

[@ajchannel666]

Does this require a tune of can u run it on a stock tune. And this will not void warranty correct?

[@mishimoto]

A tune is not required. We would suggest contact your local dealership to ask if they will void your warranty if an intake system is installed.

[@CaptainNero]

Can you make something for the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport?

[@mishimoto]

We're happy to take any suggestions you may have

[@_kyledunn_22]

What size are the screws holding on the clamps for the stock intake? Nothing I have fits them🤦🏽‍♂️

[@mishimoto]

This should be a 6mm but you can also use a phillips screwdriver for this.

[@ibench320]

Do i need a blow off valve?

[@mishimoto]

If you are asking if a blow off valve is required to install this, it is not.

[@damacknificent151]

Can I convert it to regular filter instead of the washable filter? I feel it's easier to just change it out

[@mishimoto]

Assuming that you are installing a filter that is the same size, you shouldn't have any issues.

[@RiverAdams0801]

What size are the screws for the intake lid?

[@mishimoto]

M4 x 0.7

[@adamczartoryjski6364]

Anyone know what filter they are using? I want to change mine because of the miles I put on it.

[@mishimoto]

Tech specs section on the product page. MMAF-3005S

[@adamczartoryjski6364]

Does a check engine light indicate after instillation?

[@mishimoto]

A check engine light should not occur after a proper installation of the catch can

[@lumill6967]

Can the filter be removed by removing the carbon fiber lid?

[@mishimoto]

Yes, the filter is installed and removed through the opening covered by the carbon fiber lid.

[@xghostyxjokerx]

Does this fit for my 2018 accord 1.5 sport?

[@mishimoto]

This will unfortunately not fit the 1.5T model

[@TheKingkingg]

Does it fit my 2020 Sport 2.0 Canada model?

[@mishimoto]

You should not have any install issues on Canadian delivered models.

[@TheKingkingg]

@@mishimoto awesome thanks

[@jjsupadupa2278]

I can’t find this intake on your website

[@fluxcapacitor3000]

Is the rubber cap included?

[@mishimoto]

Yes, the rubber cap is included in the kit.

[@fluxcapacitor3000]

Mishimoto Automotive does it have to be covered? I know it goes to a resonator chamber or something

[@Sierrafoto]

Anything for the 1.5

[@mishimoto]

We currently have a catch can kit for the 1.5 models: www.mishimoto.com/honda-accord-15t-baffled-oil-catch-can-2018.html

[@TheBozoKid]

This will fit for a 1.5 engine nothing really changes

[@TorontosF1NEST]

I love everything about this intake, but on the fence about buying one. I’ve read that oiled filters are meant for street race applications because they give the most flow but aren’t as good as paper filters for cleaning air. The Accord is my daily driver and want to keep the engine running as long as possible. Please convince me otherwise.

[@mishimoto]

Please feel free to take a look at the article we wrote regarding the two options. www.mishimoto.com/engineering/2016/11/filtering-right-stuff-dry-vs-oiled-air-filters/

[@TorontosF1NEST]

@@mishimoto thank you for the response and giving me some insight into the matter. I’ll be buying your intake for my 2.0 Accord - cheers!

[@binhlequang58]

Is it fit 1.5?

[@mishimoto]

Unfortunately this will not fit the 1.5 models.

[@HbkRick]

Is it carb legal?

[@mishimoto]

This is not currently CARB legal. Sorry!

[@ItsYaBoiJerm]

Why when I let off the gas does it sound like a balloon’s air is being released? I installed a blow off bypass valve as well but I don’t think it’s that

[@mishimoto]

The blow off valves job is to release air from the system to bring the pressure in the system. This is done by it opening and letting this air escape. This is likely the source of the added noise.

[@AKN-no9kk]

It's supposed to. It's released air pressure.

[@chucky_d1292]

Why wouldn’t you keep that bottom air port. That’s perfect cold air

[@JSpangler]

It's not an air port. It is a connection to a sealed resonator chamber meant to cancel out intake noise with the stock setup.
