“Unless you like a noisy car that looks cool” yeah that’s exactly what I want

You can't just install the cold air intake and expect an increase. The performance gain is only achieved if you put the supplied sticker on your window. You'll gain 25-30 horsepower then.

Scotty: "Manufacturers are making shitty cars these days!"

Also Scotty: "Trust the engineers!"

[VolkFolk]

First, you can tune almost any car to take advantage of better airflow - even if it's very little hp gain.
Second, many people would agree that increased turbo noise is a big enough benefit!

Scotty openned his own repair shop and started his YouTube channel after he got fired from a rally team when one morning, right before the race, the team opened their garage and found that their Impreza is converted back to factory stock, all mods taken off, stock 150hp engine, 91 octane gas in the tank. Scotty tried to convince them that it was better this way.

If you want an instant HP boost just paint your brakes red

Most OE intakes are already cold air intakes. Unless the aftermarket "cold air intake" comes with a box to seal it off from the engine heat, it is a hot air intake. I've always just used a K&N replacement filter in the stock airbox and called it good.

Scotty you're the first guy that told me how I would not benefit from a cold air intake. I installed one on my pickup I used to get 220 miles out of every tank full of gas. now I get 260. I wonder if cold air intake I installed had anything to do with it?

[rpatray]

Sotty almost had me convinced, until he said "unless you want a noisy car that looks cool..." I want a noisy car that looks cool! Thats Exactly what i am going for! CAI Purchased.

"you cant just bolt it on and expect it to work"

me after bolting it on and expecting it to work 👀

Can I reverse the process? I bought a 2006 Miata with an AEM cold air intake system on it and it is a pain to clean the air filter. Can I go back to stock?

[nickgaray]

After watching this video I’m 100% buying a cold air intake. Thanks Scotty!!!

My check engine light was on way before I put a cold-air intake, so hah!

He's right an engineer always designs things to be absolutely perfect every time so it is always optimal. There is no possible way that changing something on your car will make it run better because it wasn't designed by those specific engineers. Engineers are perfect and never design things to be cost efficient and have never had to recall products ever. Every car has always been perfect so no need to change things on them guys don't worry the engineers got our back.

Scotty: full flow mufflers make a lot of noise and also reduce performance

Also Scotty: more exhaust flow means more power!!

[lightersup]

Bro this guy literally says to not buy anythin, pick ur dream car and he’ll tell u why not to buy it 😂😂😂💯

Just installed a K&N cold intake on my tacoma, runs perfect and sounds awesome.

This man literally made a video on why not to get a intake and exhaust 😂
