These videos are gonna blow up over the next year, calling it early. The new Bronco is so sick and its confirmed now cause Cam has one. I bought an ST because of your ST build series and I still have your CS air freshner hanging on my rear view. Much love man can't wait to watch every video in this series and eventually get a BRONCO!!!

[@Gjeebs]

That airbox fits so nicely and I loved the B roll of it in the garage. Great work

[@Ryan_ringler]

Loving these recent uploads on the Bronco!

[@thabrownieviking]

Nice perfect timing we just picked up our 2DR Black Diamond manual Bronco yesterday. Waited 1 year and 9 months for it lol. Can't wait to start modifying it 🤣

[@johnmalone4101]

Thank you for posting this. So many posts out there say CAI don't do anything.

[@vintagestealth8802]

I got my build date for my 2.3 Badlands, a 20hp gain from just an intake is nuts. Just wait till more tuners are put out for these. I know COBB is working on stuff for the 2.3 Broncos.

[@porkchopsandwiches192]

Get the Ford pro cal tune. Keep your intake stock. Make more power.

[@jorgejefferson8251]

Sounds good, I like it.

[@AppleOrchardThief]

I'd definitely be turning my head if i heard a Bronco making those noises.

[@manymotors]

Quality content 👍🏼👍🏼

[@toddfowler9863]

When I installed mine, I first wrapped a beefy ziptie around the offending elbow joint, then epoxied the snot out of it.

[@mutt7780]

Is the top of that filter box really exposed? I'd like to see how that looks after a full day trail riding in wet/muddy conditions

[@edkelley6916]

I'm rolling with the ford tune and Flowmaster exhaust and seeing this I might have to get it just cause right now it's bad ass and I want evil bad ass

[@johnmcmullen456]

With so many variables affecting dyno pulls done at different times, I have doubts about the power gains shown for that K & N. It would be more convincing if as an experiment, the stock system was reinstalled and ran on the untouched dyno immediately after the pulls with the K & N, for an apples to apples comparison, to verify if the power lost is same as the amount being claimed for the K & N. The idea is repeatability.

[@popo_patty]

How did you put the Bronco in dyno mod so the limiter didn’t affect you?

[@Dex_NeutralMinded]

Just amazing! How do you guys know how ro do this stuff. You guys are basically Auto Doctors. 👍

[@geoffnelson64]

Lol we bought and built our st's similar and at the same time.. looks like we're doing it now with the new bronco haha awesome

[@HugoHardinge]

So sick when you do stuff with your parents bro 🙏👌

[@BenLovrien]

Dude those are some good gains! Now we'll be able to make it up that huge hill in the canyons😂

[@thecl1ckst3r]

Now, do the same test but add the Ford Performance Calibration. It will be interesting to see if you get 30HP and 60ft/lbs on top of your K&N improvements.

[@RipPhillips]

The whole "Sweet....and then like dirt...feel great soon" about the coffee got me. Yea that's about how I explain coffee to my 3 year old

[@CameronAlford]

Hahah

[@patberry3388]

I have a new '22 Wildtrak and it is wicked. I just passed over 100 miles on it. I am thinking adding the cold air intake and performance tuning it is going to be a beast!

[@joshmrosek2947]

Do it. I bought an Injen CAI, turbo smart BOV, muffler delete, and colder spark plugs, running 93 octane mine responded nicely!

[@thiemcreations2830]

what's going on the your sti lately?

[@robdavidson2569]

why not install the pre-filter?

[@bradmacklin7265]

Like the way the video is done - I am on a list for a 2023 Wildtrak and I plan on doing bolt ons. I like the numbers you saw but I am a bit hesitant with that weak plastic elbow piece you had to weld. Hopefully that gets improved in future iterations.

[@CameronAlford]

Haven’t had a problem with it and I’m sure I got a first batch that they improved on for sure

[@bradmacklin7265]

@@CameronAlford thanks for the response - I’m sure I won’t be seeing my Bronco anytime soon so I would hope it’s adjusted by then. At the same time I see they commented on this video so hopefully they received the feedback as well.

[@FloridaDeere]

The fact it ripped the wheels loose that long is bad @$$!! I want to get one now...the K&N I mean, also that with a nice Flowmaster is a great way to free up power for a forced induction engine I figure.

[@brandonmccoy4872]

Wow, add the ford performance tune and you can add at least 50 hp on 93 octane. Not a bad at all

[@warrenmiconi8141]

Was this before the panda power module?

[@elbertmejia4232]

sick

[@d.r.3397]

You hear anything from K&N about the 2.7 intake kits for the 2023 models? I cannot seem to find anything about if the current kit you link fits the 2023... I get my Bronco in about 8 weeks (after waiting for what seems like 10 years!) and this is a good way to get cheap HP and torques 🤯🥳 - Great video. Makes me miss Phx 🥺

[@desertmike680]

I installed the Roush intake in my 2.3 w/manual last spring - I honestly didn't notice any sort of gains (very minor turbo sounds too), but maybe its due to the fact that its just a filter and lid replacement? Wondering if I would see any sort of gains if I were to go with the K and N or the Corsa.

[@ReddingRed]

Yes

[@steverileypictures5724]

87 or 93 octane for the dyno?

[@brandolifts7928]

Cool

[@sometimesnothinghappens]

Running 87 octane right?

[@Swermie]

I’ll be honest man, I had a not great experience at Goodspeed. I asked if they could do an alignment for my Miata even though it’s not listed on their “supported makes”. Instead of being direct and telling me no, I got excuses for why the guy didn’t know. He took my name and number, and then just never called me. Now, I admit I should not have gone there if they don’t explicitly state my make for support. However, their communication could be better. Now for the future: I wonder if they support the BRZs and not just the WRX/STI. It would be so convenient to get an alignment there because they’re a few miles from me. I’ll have to give them a visit again for a chance at redemption lol.

[@DavidHendrickson-xu2zv]

How far down did that grommet go? Same thing happened to me today. Gotta get it out tomorrow.

[@muneymap]

You should do a series with a Jeep Cherokee and try to add performance mods to it, I have yet to see anyone do one

[@CameronAlford]

Maybe one day! Thanks for the suggestion

[@KNfilters]

Great video! We hope you keep enjoying your intake! We also have charge pipes if you're interested wink wink

[@CameronAlford]

Let’s run it!!!

[@nitroxide17]

Whoa it’s them!

[@arashn9575]

How does the installation of the cold air intake impact ford warranty?

[@jeffe236]

@@arashn9575it doesn’t impact it, they could only void something intake related and would have to prove the KN caused it

[@harleymatthews4140]

Please do more Silverado videos

[@CameronAlford]

Ayyyy my favorite! Hopefully more soon

[@n8jones86]

It looked like in the beginning of the video the piece you plastic welded was already broke.

[@roberthahn3710]

You might find someone with a 3D printer to make a replacement flange for the one you repaired.

[@sethbrauer5467]

What cars do you own currently? I lost track

[@CameronAlford]

Thats on me, ive been all over the place causing confusion. Working to make that better with some new formatting with titles/thumbnails/etc to make it easier to keep up with what you are interested in. 2015 STi (Wont be seeing that until I have parts ready to go, she needs love) 1996 Impreza (Work in progress) 2004 Silverado (Daily) 2011 Mazdaspeed3 (Carmaspeed Giveaway Car) Bronco

Jc put it in 4wd

[@Megatron_79]

Well I know what my wife’s bronco is getting next.

[@CameronAlford]

haha, you'll be happy

[@geoffnelson64]

I'm pretty sure you use to date my cousin Brian

[@maccoolmac5191]

Installing the K&N intake, you no longer have a cold air intake.

[@botchman5947]

No the filter looses power. And how dare u make fun of a bov. That intake is a terrible sound. I don't want to hear wind.

[@raymondfink9580]

I grew up in FJ40’s and 60’s bronco’s. Broncos should Rumble.

[@franklincountiesfinest9338]

Did u oil and charge the filter?
