Another awesome comparison video with install instructions to boot. Can't wait for the PRL HVI stats. These vids are crucial for me as I've been contemplating what intake to get for my 2018 Accord 2.0. You da man 👍🏼

@@TheLemonFactor lots of people speculate it's because the cars are stock and we'll see a real benefit if more bolt ons are added. Intakes are usually the first thing people do so I expected something similar to Mishimoto at least.

@@TheLemonFactor may sometime down the line test out a FBO accord and see which set gives the most HP tuned then untuned if that could be possible. However with doing the air intake you can also just go to the down pipe first. I personally do not know much about this platform as I have a civic but eventually would like to go into it

[@HondaAccordPerformance]

The takeda also lost power on my v6 Accord the issue is it changes the maf sensor position and it can’t compensate for it without a tune. Once you tune it the power gains will be realized - minimal still but definitely there.

[@TheLemonFactor]

And yet the manufacturer(s) still claim power gains, without needing a tune 😕

[@HondaAccordPerformance]

@@TheLemonFactor exactly it upsets me. Also I wish you tested stock intake with a $50 K&N drop in filter. That would be interesting as well. Keep up the good work! Edit: I also see that engine moving when you’re revving have you considered stiffer mounts ? The hasport 62a don’t bill vibrate too bad almost feel stock I read but greatly help traction and stop engine movement.

[@TheLemonFactor]

In the first video of the series, I tested the OEM / Stock air filter, the PRL drop in panel filter (very similar to the K&N), and the PRL Stage 1 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYeZmGCNptyJoJI

[@mikeb3023]

Interesting. Glad I didn't chose that intake. I installed PRL hv intake bout 2 months ago ony '21 2.0T. Although I know it's not going to put up the numbers PRL says, I think will be better than any of the other ones

Great video man I also installed prl hvi and can’t wait to see results. Are you running any stage maps reflash or stock maps and all these pulls ?

[@TheLemonFactor]

These tests are all done on an otherwise stock car 👍. How do you like your PRL HVI? Do you feel any performance gains?

[@xtassyboy]

@@TheLemonFactor I really don’t notice a difference except for a little noise from bov. I think this intakes don’t perform any better until u get into tuning the car for the MAF calibration. I am curious if you will get any gains on HVI on stock tune? I also would like to see a stage 2 tune on stock vs stage 2 with HVI to see if there is a difference when tuned.

[@BrownsvilleNotification]

So this new cold intake is actually less efficient than the stock system, I've seen aFe results which are different, I wish they would reach out to you to clarify any reson why their system produces less power than the factory system. I know Honda's are well engineered but I would never think a factory system would work better than an aftermarket desigend to work better. These results are so interesting, I wonder if fuel economy is affected as well. My options are very limited for my particular vehicle so opted for the aFe as it was the only one that was somewhat still a closed system and not looking for more noise from a more tradtional filter on a tube design so I hope my system at least doesn't degrade the performance but maybe helps it breath better and possibly better fuel economy, which is my intended goal. My vehicle is a 2019 Subaru Forester so limited options.

[@Dan-xj9vd]

Great video Chad! I would add also to your comments that performance in a lab is not always what you experience in real driving conditions. I don't have an Accord but I had installed at some point a Takeda Momentum Cold Air Intake System w/Pro 5R 56-70006R on my 2019 Mazda MX-5 club with concerns on the design🤔. On Dyno and in a lab I was able to get more performance from the Takeda than the OEM box HOWEVER I had no engine performance gain on the track or on the road. On an MX-5, a Afe Takeda air box is way to close to the coolant hoses which turns out to increase by a lot the temperature of the intake system and the air going into the engine🥵. You can burn your hand on the air box if you don’t wait the entire car to cool down which is not the case with Mazda OEM. Since I could not track my car with the hood open, I just took out the Takeda and returned to the OEM. 😧

[@TheLemonFactor]

I’m not surprised. I’m not fond of the Takeda intake’s design - it’s closed on the top where the air comes in from the bumper air scoop to the Takeda air filter box, but wide open underneath 😕

[@Dan-xj9vd]

@@TheLemonFactor There are 2 Takeda models. Mine is a fully closed container but the one you mentioned is worst. I can't beleive they make sales of that one... unless you live in Alaska where warm temperature is not an issue 😃

Are you planning to test the Injen Short Ram Intake anytime soon? Manufacturers claim 9hp and Torque over stock

[@TheLemonFactor]

I currently do not plan on testing the Injen intake 🤷‍♂️

[@just.a.simplejoe]

Another great one Chad. My only 2 concerns are this: is your attitude a potential cause of not seeing gains "or even minimumal" and second could the dyno your using atm be off calibration. One would hope all these test and some of them would produce gains, but from exp I've realized in some cars I had real world benefits but in lab not and vice versa. #confusing

[@TheLemonFactor]

Thank you, J H! The dyno is fully calibrated, and part of the calibration is a standardization of results taking into account altitude, temperature, humidity, etc. so results can be compared to other dynos (at least across Dyno Jet dynos).

[@just.a.simplejoe]

@@TheLemonFactor I hear you brother, who knows then. Cause I'm sure you can agree there really should be some gains by some of these products but tis is life of modding. Trial n error.... ugh.

A question not pertaining to this video Chad. I installed my mishimoto oil catch can yesterday using your video install guide and now when I drive, it feels like sometimes it hesitates slightly when giving it gas just driving normally. I'm sure it's on correctly too. Have u heard of this before?

[@TheLemonFactor]

I didn’t run into any issues. My recommendation is to make sure everything is secured well so as to ensure you don’t have a leak, and double check your hoses to confirm your connections are correct. Lastly, make sure your check valve is pointed in the right direction.

Come on, you know better than this. CAI are a supporting mods & require other supporting mods to see the gains. It doesn't mean a CAI doesn't work. Yes you could lose power on a stock car with a 3" intake, because the 3" intake is design to support higher HP builds.
