25 Real VS. Fake Car Mods!

Worst and Best Car Mods for your car! Real Performance Mods and Fake Performance Mods sound more similar than you think. This is likely no coincidence as the way algorithms and SEO works, it's likely an intentional market tactic to purposely trick Newbies who are looking to buy the actual performance mod, but stumble on the fake one. The biggest tragedy is the fake ones cost JUST AS MUCH as the real ones do sometimes! So in this video, I'll help guide you through the valley of REP WHEELS AND FAKE ALIEXPRESS CRAP to the light of true performance mods.

The biggest difference I noticed with a cold air intake is marginally better mpg. Though, the intake on it before had massive air leaks. 🤷‍♂️

my cold air intake was totally worth it for the look and sound, but besides the mpg boost there is not much performance gain to be had unless you are boosted

[klaspeppar]

Don’t forget that there are 2 types of intercoolers, “air to air” and “water to air”.

Basically “air to air” is the type you see sticking out of the front end and are usually quite thick and works like the name suggests, the “intake air” passes through the intercooler and gets cooled down by air going through it.

Water to air intercoolers are usually a slightly more complicated set up, basically you use water to cool down the “intake air”, most set ups use a “heat exchanger” (a radiator of sorts) which is “plumed in” (or connected) to the intercooler. But water to air can also be a “ice box” set up.
Water to air is a pretty efficient system and usually takes up less room than a air to air set up.

One thing I noticed with the cold air intake is how fast the turbo builds boost compared to on the stock box. It's not making any more power, but it feels much quicker because of that.

[CNR.K]

the way I see it, for all of this, is that there's no reason to cheap out on it. The fake/cheap stuff can actually be more dangerous than the real thing. In my opinion, there's no reason to buy the cheap thing and say you'll buy the real thing when you have the money. save the money now and buy the real thing right off the bat.

A cold air intake, or similar tube+filter setup is also a great maintenance mod. The stock tubing and airbox take up so much space that you need to remove them all the time to swap out parts/do some maintenance, so having a simpler setup makes it a lot easier.

0:55 Throttle response, while not being extra power, is a very, very valid thing to want in your build. Like, an NA with poor throttle response can straight up be worse than a turbo'd engine with really good throttle response.

3:30 Pretty much every car already has a cold air intake. A true cold air intake is giving it access to proper airflow, like by positioning it behind a bumper or headlight vent. Or out your hood. Or any other alternative you can think of, the sky is the limit.

Dear Bladed,
Thank you so much for the mod infomation. I really apprecate your videos and thanks for making these times so much easier for me.

[WarriorOfEden]

There are real electric supercharger basically a procharger driven by an electric motor but the one you showed is the scam

[NOS]

I have a short ram on my car, but it’s mainly for the sound it produces. Make the intake hella loud, and sounds great. There’s no performance gain from the butt dyno, but it’s still a cheap $100 way to make your car sound awesome.

[mikeriley]

Part of the large exhaust issue is if the exhaust doesn't get out fast enough, it cools making it denser, and harder to push.

[Exponaut_R-]

Always glad to see these kinds of videos because when it comes down to someone wanting to mod their car stuff like this is going to be another good reference

[TotinoOG]

As a teenager who likes loud exhaust, I don’t do it for “attention” or “daddy issues” I simply like hearing the car/truck I am driving, and I would put glass packed exhaust/high flow mufflers to give it more sound depth, I just wanted to say that lol

[daviddunmore]

I'm in the UK, many years ago I had a Triumph Dolomite 1850. When the stock exhaust rusted away (They did back in the 1970s. I replaced it with a properly designed rally exhaust. The result was more responsive throttle and an improvement in fuel economy from an average of 30mpg to around 36mpg. Apart from that the engine, carbs, air filters were stock.

I know Cletus made another video on electric superchargers, that used a huge battery and a switch to turn it on. I believe it was on a colbalt and it gained power.

[jordanr]

Bladed thank you so much for making this video. I've continuously came back to it before ordering or thinking about getting parts so it's nice to have a reference on what to get.

[xadev]

I love how u don't have that attitude to call ur guides "the way to go" instead you intentionally calling them "noob's guide"
I really appreciate the truth and your honesty, it makes me want to watch them cause I know I won't be lied to 😊

[ethankulp]

journalists: "top mounted intercoolers dont work"
me: laughs in humvee

for those not fimiliar with the layout of the humvee engine bay the entire cooling system sits on top of the engine under the hood

Some of the nicer throttle spacers are themselves ported to increase airflow. The ones I got for my 370Z made a noticeable difference even before I got tuned.
