2022 Honda Grom (Chimera VS Mnnthbx & Oil Filter Change)

It's time to compare Chimera Vs. Mnnthbx intakes. This is video three in the "2022 Grom SP Series". In this video I test the Chimera and Mnnthbx intakes for the 2022 Grom. I also show how to assemble the Mnnthbx intake and do the first oil filter/oil change. Watch to see what intake comes out on top!

Don't put music over when you have the Grom running. We don't wanna hear that we wanna hear nothing but the grom and the environment around you. Thank you!

[@803Garage]

Aracer who make the ECU did the same for their exhaust verbals pops and backfire video. So even pros do it sadly. But you are sooooo right. We wanna hear it. Now if it was electric ⚡️ I get it LoL

[@OnionMilk420]

just came in here to say that. like seriously, we just wanna hear the grom lol

[@snapdrag141]

I know it sounds silly, but I feel like the aerodynamics & speed increased after changing those giant turn signals out 😆

[@Jenuin]

Great video. I bought the man in the box for all the reasons you just listed. It arrived yesterday. The silicon hose meh the metal is nice but like you I prefer tucked.

[@whitehammeer]

Damn good video 25 minutes hell yeahhh

[@hellsfirefreedomtube6984]

That’s nice for the oil change. I’ve been looking up Honda Groms and slowly saving up money for one. Watched a video months ago on how to change the oil and I don’t like that the older Grom you had to take off the hole cover to change a filter

[@mnnthbx]

Both intakes will make a bike run better, so with that said... Great honest enthusiast video. It's always enjoyable without an angle....

[@minimotomatt9447]

Hey Mnnthbx will all 3 of the washer bolts from the fairings on both sides still have mounting points with this intake installed? Or do the 2 bottom washer bolts on each side mount to the sides of the OEM air box?

[@mnnthbx]

@@minimotomatt9447 The new body work doesn't need the bracing as much as the prior models. For those that require extra strength for whatever reason, you can trim the airbox, leaving the outer skeleton to use as the bracing.

[@taylorbrooks6610]

Looks good 👍

[@ShadeTreeKennyT]

Another advantage to the man in the box intake is the thick silicone tube. It will not absorb as much heat as the metal chimera, so you'll get a colder intake charge. Heat soak is always something to avoid.

[@steadygarage]

Actually aluminum is much better as the cold air will actually cool the aluminum tube, hence why the majority of intakes used in the motorsport application are aluminum. The temp. isn't trapped as on the 2022 Grom, the intake is out in the open. Touch a Chimera SRI after the engine is running and let everyone know how cool it feels on the aluminum tube. It'll cool down even more once you're riding.

Good video bud

[@dy1837]

i use the same oil. works fine

[@SeanJawn]

Great video , next upgrade on my Grom is an intake, I am waiting to see what dinger built comes out with before I decide 🙌

[@whitehammeer]

Which one should I go with

[@DWBmotorsports]

Dinger doesn’t do anything anymore

[@gustavopolanco6925]

I just installed the MNNTHBX intake. From the get rid of list. 1. I still have the stock exhaust, yoshi exhaust soon! 2. I think I will cutting the OEM air box just to cover the space at the bottom, that looks horrible without that box in there. 3. I am keeping my OEM plate holder ( I'm the only man on earth who likes it 😂). Lol 4. DHM cam is on the way.

[@thepab3072]

I'm thinking of getting the TST Industries ram air cover and large intake tube instead of an intake for the exact reason you stated.... Looks terrible. The rear fender works great if you ride in the rain. It does look odd for many but it works. Fender eliminators are sleek but everything ends up on your back 😂 Cops are a pain in the ass where I am, any mods that are stealthy is a good mod for me.

[@Jorge-125]

Do we need an o-ring when changing out the Honda oil filter?

[@803Garage]

👋🏼 Hey. I used a portion of your video. (No audio) Usually I ask permission but forgot. Let me know if it’s cool and if not I’ll take it down. ✌🏼 I also dropped a link in my description pointing anyone who wants to see your full video. =]

[@803Garage]

I feel you on the ice cream man deal …. That’s a pain 🤦

[@thenewearth5313]

Yoshi pipe sounds so good. dunno bout the price tho... lol

[@alejandromorenomonzon7648]

Donde puedo comprar ese kit para instalarlo en mi MSX Puede darme al Puede darme alguna dirección web Gracias

[@davidorozco1888]

What’s your thoughts on the fairing slop that the cold air intakes bring? I just installed a mnnthbx on my 22 grom and am almost considering swapping it for a chimera just so that I can get a kitako oil cooler to bring back the fairing support

[@tylertaughtme]

The slop is gonna happen until someone comes out with a brace of some sort to bolt in. Fyi, With the oil coolers you can only run certain intakes or they wont fit.

[@davidorozco1888]

@@tylertaughtmemust not bother you as much as me, as I’m considering switching to chimera just so that an oil cooler will fit, which will bring cooling and structural integrity back, I also see you lost 1 mph top speed with the mnnthbx, I did see a support rod they sell for the fairings too, which may work with the mnnthbx

[@davidorozco1888]

@@tylertaughtme did you have to reflash the ecu while going from chimera to mnnthbx or are they simalar enough?

[@willyjimmy8881]

Leaving the sensor exposed to unfiltered air was a lazy solution from man in the box and will cause the sensor to fail sooner. And a rubber hose? Come on man, the tube needs to be solid. Like the filter placement and wire harness extension though. I think I'd prefer the chimera bug try to order the pigtail from man in the box.

[@steadygarage]

Chimera has already addressed the issue with the IAT extension, they have a V2 version which all new intakes shipped after Jan 2022 will have included.

[@irongoatrocky2343]

@@steadygarage I went w/ MNNTHBX because he does not block people who live outside the USA from shopping on his site!

[@803Garage]

I have been thinking 🤔 💭 about ice cream 🍨 🍦 all day LoL 😂

[@ghettosled1976]

Whomever told you not to run synthetic is dead wrong. It’s the best for air cooled bikes. That rumor has been around since the invention of synthetic oil. It handles higher temps better than conventional. One easy way to tell is by asking them why not. They’ll say that’s just what they were told lol. Been running full synthetic in all my bikes for 20 years. I am curious though if the bar and chain oil had a negative effect, being so much thicker than the recommended oil.

[@jimmymiller592]

did you do anything to tune to the new intake and exhaust?

[@tylertaughtme]

Yea you need a computer flash at least.

[@lancenorthcutt7813]

Did you really use bar and chain oil on the filter?

[@tylertaughtme]

Yea in a pinch any thicker oil is ok to use. I have since cleaned the filter and used actual k&n filter oil.

[@smert6379]

Can i use the Mnnthbx in the rain?

[@tylertaughtme]

If you oil it I dont see why not

[@spenserjoseph8732]

why oil the intake filter?

[@tylertaughtme]

Filters like these require oil to help catch small particles. Usually you use the recommended filter oil but bar and chain oil is viscous and stickier than something like 10w-30 so it is an acceptable stand in for filter oil.

[@jordanbabcock9349]

Left because of the music.

[@man_of_war]

The background music annoyingly masks the sound of the motorcycle. If we want to listen to music, we go to Spotify. We want to hear the motorcycle roar more than anything else. Just a suggestion. ✌️

[@tylertaughtme]

You are the umpteenth person to say this and if you watch the entire thing or any of my other videos you will hear the bike lol

[@tylertaughtme]

Also its a grom there isnt but so much to hear 😂

[@man_of_war]

@@tylertaughtme I watched it till it finished. It's cool though. The performance in speed is the same. The aesthetics is better with Man in the box as it is hidden. 👍🏻

[@tylertaughtme]

@@man_of_war If you want to hear a good clip of what it sounds now that everything is broken in watch the obx bike week video I posted not long ago. Its in the grom playlist.

[@oldmandigo]

Just a tip. If you’re trying to show how something sounds. Don’t blast music over the audio. It kinda defeats the purpose

[@tylertaughtme]

Unfortunately if you want a good video and to keep random peoples attention you have to add the music. I did however add portions on my other grom videos that have no music just so people can hear it. Also most of the time you can hear it over the music which I did on purpose and you arent really missing much anyway. Check out some of my other grom videos though if you want to see some more!

[@roddas26]

Would rather listen to the ice cream truck than that awful edm music you used.

[@irongoatrocky2343]

you are right!............Mr Whippy has better music!

[@xempath]

Lol

[@MrJacobMcDermott]

don't use synthetic oil?!?! bro just because you don't like it don't knock on a statically proven better oil lmao

[@tylertaughtme]

I mean do what you want it wont hurt it. I just dont run synthetic is small stuff is all. If I was getting up into 600cc+ motorcycles Ide probably run synthetic. But small stuff like 125cc dirt bikes, 212cc predators, etc, I use the valvoline I showed.

[@MrJacobMcDermott]

@@tylertaughtme even small bore engines benefit from better lubrication and the anti wear properties of synthetic oil. Especially if you do any engine work to them like a upgraded cam with even tighter tolerances...
