ETS says no tune required on a stock car. However, I would suggest monitoring it closely. Everyone seems to have different feedback about it. I would always suggest a tune to be safe.
I just installed this and thought I was missing a 12mm bolt that videos state to screw in the black intake tube/pipe. It was frantic during install trying to find a spare one. Finally figured out that new version comes with a rubber insulator instead (black rubber piece with 2 studs coming out of it). You screw that in by hand and then put on the pipe, and then the nut on it from hardware bag. Hope this helps someone.
I also ran into the fitment issues with the catchcan and airbox. I dremeled out the corner weld and back piece of metal to clear the can, but I left the top piece of metal alone so it was still a perfect rectangle retain the "stock" look. After the cutting, the stock air dam fit perfectly in place as well. I'm running California 91 on a stock tune and 4k miles in, I've had no issues or codes thrown with the post-revision model.
Just did mine with your help, BUT... The clips hate me. I need to buy about five replacements. Also, the bolt they sent was too short and I had to use a step bit so it would reach. It works and sounds great! Thanks for your help.
Thorough install video 👍🏼 Also good know about the radium catch can slightly being in the way as mine came yesterday and I’ll be Installing the dual catch cans over the weekend. I’ll Refer to your video of course. 🙂 Your billetsworkz short shifter video helped me out a ton. I put that in couple days ago. With the same set up as yours, short plate, shift bushing etc…love it! Not coterversaul at all, IMO. Keep the great content coming! and an update on how the ETS air in take is doing on the stock tune as I’m looking at doing that as well. 💪
Thank you for the video brother. My sleeve i out in yesterday cause it was the only way that it felt like it worked. Didnt know you had to really muscle it but i did thanks yo your video. It is now installed correctly 😂❤ luckily i hadnt run the car yet
I had the same issue with the radium catch can. I just cut the back right corner of the box about halfway down so it doesn't interfere with the catch can then closed it at an angle. Box fits fine and there is no pressure on the radium bracket. Happy to share what I did if you want.
Thanks for the vid. I noticed that ETS pipe didn't align straight into the coupler where it connects to inlet, but rather had a slight slant. The coupler seems to connect it with the inlets using the clamps. But the slant is bugging even with the coupler tightened. Was wondering if you noticed the same?
Dude, you’re killing me, Smalls! At 11:42 minute, you start with your “hack” . Just like the short shift install for the shifter box plate. All that money spent to end up forcing, adding, jamming, hammering, etc etc your modifications. 😮😮😮😮
That's because it won't fit with my catch cans. I'm not scared to modify or "hack" things when they dont work. Not sure if you saw my reply to your comment on the Shifter box cover but that was literally how Billetworkz told me to do it. I really don't care because no one is really looking at it. It still works the same way.
@@StreetInspired1 kinda shocked you didn't just send it on the basic parts off the bat especially after watching this car progress in the last year tbh shes gonna be there soon. Excited to see your progression with it
@@StreetInspired1 speaking of the catch cans: have you collected any gunk in them yet? So far I've gotten nothing in my single Mishimoto CC except a thin film of slight oiliness coating the inside of the can after about a thousand miles.
So I installed mine a few months back with the new metal housing they later provided I used to make 14.3 psi now I can only make 13.2…I am on a stock tune also
AEM and Perrin just both released intakes that are said to be safe to use with stock tune. I would trust them more over ETS since ETS made claims it was safe and really it was causing issues. Then to add a sleeve to try and correct their error... meh. At least Perrin and AEM took the time to design and test their intakes before releasing them.
@@brockjohnson1782 "Early on" doesn't mean anything as far as selling a product that is safe on a factory tune. Normally news outlets that try to report on things like to be the first but the facts don't always line up because their main objective is to be first without taking their time and confirming all of the facts. You want companies to take their time because in the end, you want your car to be safe.
@@brockjohnson1782 What? You are not making sense. If a company releases something and says it's safe to run with a factory tune and testing done that proves otherwise, that is not good. The revisions of the intake acknowledges these findings. End of story.
@@jeremyjackson8643 “not good”… in your opinion. What doesn’t make sense to me is how you think everyone has the same mentality as you. Ever heard of two-stepping? Not everyone cares as much as you abt their car being “safe”
Hi there, just got mine done following your video, thank you for a detailed install… do you you have an annoying type of whistle sound when slowly reving up the rpm band?
Yeah, it's the stock bypass/blowoff valve. I love the induction noise with the intake but definitely get annoyed by the high pitch whistle from the valve slowly opening
@@StreetInspired1makes sense, also did you after end up modifying your intake box, i also got the radium catch cans per your recommendation. I cut a slot but it’s still pretty bad and required much force to align the bolts
@fixflicks6877 I actually haven't gotten around to it yet. I might mess with it this weekend. The only issue I have is that the intske Duct doesn't line up to both holes for the pop clips. But I might still try to mess with it.
Any updates on this updated intake on a stock tune? I’m wondering if it is still safe after a couple of months of usage. I’m still deciding on this intake or the Perrin.
CRAP! I have to get under my car to instsall this thing!? hahaha. Update" I installed an ETS instake in myt 2023 today. Install was easy but I struggled getting the platic piping off of the turbo inlet!
Ive been told i can run the intake stock withe my aftermarket exhaust i just have to drive around a bit for it to adjust and the tune is to make it work more efficiently
Dumb question but what if you’re going for a pro tune with an after market exhaust(straight pipe with muffler) AFD F-1 and the ets intake do you need to remove the sleeves for a better airflow?
ETS says no tune required on a stock car. However, I would suggest monitoring it closely. Everyone seems to have different feedback about it. I would always suggest a tune to be safe.
@StreetInspired1 ahh i see ok yea just asking because my under splash gaurd is hitting the piping for me to put the pop clips back on might have to adjust it then
It was very hard. I actually used a wireless Samsung charger. 😂 (It somehow matched up perfectly with the size) and I used it to push down on it and it worked. Lubricating the O ring should help also!
So I ended up having to take the sleeve out cause I have a OTS tune for the car but my intake isn’t make the “whooshing noise” and I’m not making any boost more than 5psi
The only thing the cobb stage maps are good for are the cobb parts. So the only safe way to run a cobb ots map is if you use the cobb branded parts that are supposed to be used with the cobb ots map. For example cobb stage 1 can be used on a stock car. However cobb stage 1+ tune uses their Big SF intake. The only "safe" thing to run on that tune is the cobb intake. And so on. However people have been running cobb ots maps for years with mixed matched parts some get lucky others experience problems.
Will do. Currently looking into getting the car tuned. My peak boost before install and after hasn't changed. It's maxed at 14.9psi. It went up the other day when it got into the 80s. The hotter it gets the more boost the car needs to make the same target power.
VB yes, such a good car. I work in a shop at a Subaru dealership, and drive cars all the time. VB feels way better than the VA in my opinion, but I’m sure I’m biased
