Absolutely lovely video we definitely need more people like dis nice simple and friendly can wait to do this on my dads car

[@MrBenshapiro]

I'm sorry but you add a hot air intake to your car. Your engines air-box has a pipe that connects it to air outside of the engine compartment. This set up you just made will grab air from inside the engine compartment. Warmer air is less dense than cold air and the engine compartment is way hotter than the outside temp. You need to fit a new box around your new air filter. This will protect it from heat and dirt, the box needs to be connected to air outside of the engine compartment. You may want to look into a air- ram setup or maybe a hood scoop. Don't try to build your own hood scoop unless you really know what your doing, I would just buy a new hood online.

[@cassiya100]

Spot on Ben.. also on mine I have another sensor which senses air in the filter box, this vid don't mention that at all.

[@nuyabiss]

Ben elliot what's funny is that's if you put the temp probe from the stock air box outside the air box it's the same temp ROFL

[@ianholmen888]

There is this crazy new invention for turbo cars called an “inter cooler”. You just won’t believe what it does. It will blow your mind.

[@stgeorge5862]

What do I do? Am I fucked?

[@stgeorge5862]

I have a filter, MAF and adapter like the guy did in the video. How do I make it suck cold air?

[@IamSquidword]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it! All the way from NJ 🙌

[@TheSkatersoldier]

what if u put the cone filter into the lower halve of the standard airbox? iguess it has enough heat protection then

[@kemperlecody]

It doesnt fit inside the box

[@tanveeruddin5837]

Thats what I did put the KN air filter on my audi a3 tfsi 2008 1.4 I put the performance air filter on my standard air box but took cover off does exactly same job.

[@reidrosberg900]

I want ditch the. Come.. thinking. Perfect video . take it apart. And get back.thx

[@fraserwatt8420]

if im wanting to do this to my car do I only need to buy the performance filter or have I to buy a full induction kit??

[@xrated679]

i got a plastic bottle from my intake to my filter . i jus wrapped sum tape around the bottle so she's snug lol works like a dream

[@Ty-lx7gx]

How she sound

[@Phoenix.Douglas]

So it's that simple? Do you think it would work for any car? I've a Peugeot 301 sedan, and I want my engine to have a better air circulation to cool it down.

[@tiagofigueiredo8439]

That sounds sick !

[@JonathanPicardi]

Yes it may sound slightly better however that will not improve performance at all

[@kevzoblefiaz2072]

Nice and simple tutorial Dude. I just don't like the background sound beat.

[@inshasha6217]

If i put a hood scoop on it it will have more colder air right? Is it possible to direct the cold air flow from an air scoop to the air filter?

[@joshuaheffernan4374]

colder air on a turbocharged car is a completely pointless concept, when your air enters the turbo is when it gets hot, there is not point trying to make it cooler before the turbo. you could make the air colder after the turbo with a better intercooler

[@pontushaggstrom6261]

disconnecting the battery for an air filtre? Is that cuz it's so close to the airbox or od u always do it? and m8 ur sure u getting more hp even tho it's not cold air?

[@adhiln3616]

Why is that u remove the negative terminal when u work with air filter ?

[@sofocle80]

he removed the plugs from the air sensor too.

[@mohamed-ihcenbouadjadj1351]

good video but when the diameter's pipe is short, we have to replace the pipe ?

[@joshweeks2990]

yeh that’s the problem i had, the filter i bought is 3” but so is the sensor, and i can’t find any couplings that will fit perfectly to attach the two :/

[@MarksmanJB]

I have a mk5 golf 1.4 and I don't have a pipe I take off my cover that had the original air filter and I'm left with a small pipe that's nowhere near the size of these filters any ideas?

[@MazeedAkanni]

I assume those long 4 years of thinking got you the answer?

I was try fit in my Toyota Yaris 2012 but she doesn't start after change sport filter .when I put back my original she start straight away .not sure what's the issue

[@tinohelkamaki6049]

I am planning on adding a high performance air filter on my turbocharged volvo. Does it matter whether I get a universal round one or a cone shaped one? Does the shape or size of the filter affect how it takes in air or is it only for looks?

[@CreativeStorms]

yeah the size does, more big is your engine, more big should be the filter

[@amjathkhan2004]

I don't understand why are you removing the negative terminal? How exactly one would get electrocuted by changing the air filters? Thanks!

[@CJ-bs7tr]

He disconnected the airflow meter so just to be safe...

[@reidrosberg900]

Keep your computer up..off. Then. It resets. Straight.. disconnect.. always.

what about proper tuning and engine check sign?

[@peterhoffmann6343]

Argh! My filter dont fit The damn air sensor part, they are same size? Is there a part “rubber” maby that i Can use ?🙈

[@masonpugh3637]

What about your vacuum lines

Why is this better than stock?

[@mdlutfurrahman6788]

filter element e-f-107 is a filter part or directly filter

[@googlekid8239]

Why do you need to disconnect the battery? There was no electrical work when changing the filter so how would one get shocked?

[@Danny-xs9go]

I believe he said just for safety reasons lol

[@Hewkll]

It's a good habit to get into whenever doing anything on your car

[@tuckerwilkinson6177]

That and pcm has to re learn air fuel ratio

[@Generic20]

I’ve heard around that it can prevent your vehicle from throwing a code after the install.

[@alfredbendana4467]

Where do you put the breather tube?

[@Primitive_Code]

Alfred- just delete your whole pcv system. Get a pcv delete and take out your pcv valve. Your pcv valve increases blowby and you burn more oil if you don't regularly maintain. Block the port of your air intake with a vacuum block in place of breather tube.

let me know the model of that filter

Please?

[@majorsofficial4646]

Looks like a k&n

[@mikeyash5225]

So having one of these will use more petrol?

[@denimherbert2047]

no, all cars have an air/fuel ratio meter that will keep it consistent. What it does do is increase the airflow which will unleash more power

[@liamclarke6673]

It's a big misconception that this mod will increase power. They just look better. Airflow is the same vs stock filter because your car regulates airflow anyway

[@StrikerFin]

Liam Clarke lol your car doesn’t regulate airflow, your foot does.

[@matthewjenkins1161]

@@denimherbert2047 An increase in noise is guaranteed, but power may actually fall due to increased intake air temperatures. If you are playing for power rather than noise or looks, I'd go for a K&N drop in filter and smooth out the internals of the existing air box.

[@EnglandsVoice]

Just reading the comments lol , okay cut a hole in the bonnet and add an air vent , might look over kill on that car but some kid would love it,

[@jacobbowman2491]

Do you have to to tell your insurance company that you are installing a new one?

[@JarvoD]

Technically yes but don't tell them they'll rip you off for it. Just keep your old stock stuff at home or in boot if u wanna play it really safe, and in the event of a crash put it back on

[@MayzDayz007]

Ty

[@sofocle80]

you changed the cold air that was sucked beneeth the car (at speed) and changed it with hot air produced by the engine. If you do this, DO NOT let the filter dangling above the engine, get some proper tubing and route it somwhere cold air comes in. 2/10 of a job.

[@JOE-hu9qk]

There’s no point changing it

[@kapex6334]

cooler sound :D

[@OA1998.]

will this increase my insurance

[@brightonboy191]

Jason A Depending on who your with some insurance don't increase at all.

[@zayevfenrisulfr]

ive never known any insurance companies to raise your rate for adding aftermarket parts.. ive known some to decrease your rate for adding "certain" safety measures to your vehicle.. But no I don't believe it will raise your rate. HOWEVER, should something happen to your engine because of the aftermarket part, unless the part is under warranty you will be paying for that engine.

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

Won't work that well, because fresh air coming in is blocked by the battery. There will be a dead spot there. It's also quite close to the engine itself which is radiating loads of heat. Unfortunately many cars just aren't suitable for this kind of filter, not without a lot of work to move things around.

[@tuckerwilkinson6177]

Uhmmmm you high?? Tf???? Fresh air blocked by battery..........and you ever hear of a heat shield?? Real CAI come with these but seriously.....battery blocking air....
