Cold Air Intake Install With Ebay Parts! Is It Worth It?

This has been an interesting journey with my CAI episodes. Thankfully I had some official K&N parts to help substitute some mediocre parts supplied from the Ebay kit. Overall I still notice the improvement in performance and horsepower at higher RPMs. A risk was taken and it turned out to be a semi success lol. Let me know what you all think of the intake, and thank you all for watching!

The main thing you need is the K&n sticker. That alone gives you an extra 10hp 😅

[@bradbegay3951]

It’s best to wrap the pipe in tie strap n wrap it with hvac trap...keeps it cooler than those high priced brands

[@johannaleinmueller7525]

Liked the joint effort!

[@zanemcfarlane6087]

I have ordered a e Bay intake you're video was very helpful thanks for sharing just shows you don't have to spend big money on mods

[@bigdoo350]

Cheap and effective combo. I would of did the same thing instead of paying $300 plus dollars for the same performance gains. You smart baby.

[@nixonleonidas6434]

pro tip: you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@jalentristen1258]

@Nixon Leonidas Yup, have been using flixzone for years myself :D

[@izaiahavery705]

@Nixon Leonidas definitely, I've been using Flixzone for since november myself :)

[@michaelyeaple9629]

Sounds great 👍 you go girl ☺️

[@FortressMT]

I decided to watch this just cuz of yer "Oh God!" intro!! That was almost the same as a guy discovering a gals "happy button!! ;)

[@tcurtez]

Nice when you can I'd say a throttle body spacer and a pedal commander next mods I did them and SIDEBOO moves. But love the content

[@HerAutoPerspective]

Tee dot Kickz Yeah that would definitely add some torque, thank you! 😊

[@amakuaole]

You're always going to pay an inflated price for a well-known brand name.

[@cgarnerspeed252]

Adding a cold air intake definitely helps! Mine cost $500 but definitely love it. Good work

[@HerAutoPerspective]

Thanks! I was curious to see how well these cheaper options worked lol

[@ericthornton6780]

Cool video, and nice work. Sidenote, that's your MAF (mass airflow) sensor.

[@HerAutoPerspective]

Eric Thornton Ah I stand corrected lol thank you 😅

[@prince_sach50]

maf sensor not O2

[@tonymontanamalverde]

MAF sensor! Not 02… FYI lol

[@dontibbitts9490]

I guess it's an O2 sensor in a way. It does measure air intake..

[@marianocicirelli1128]

hi what brand is the cai you took on eBay? maybe bcp racing? I wanted to take it for 59 dollars too, did you have problems?

[@grey6218]

So you used a K and N pipe, but it said rpm motor sports on it at the start ?

[@prince_sach50]

How did it take that long?🤦🏽‍♂️

[@agrippa1234]

well done; I've used CAI's on just about every (performance) car I've owned; from Miata's to my C7. It's an aFe on my C7 and honestly my overall judgement(s); a little better/quicker throttle response, a little nice intake (sucking) noise but in terms of hp I can feel? Very little. My (Vette) mechanic says (on my 6.2 LS) maybe 10 - 12 hp above 3500 rev's at best....still looks and sounds cool.....and about the limit of what I can do myself......maybe a double blind test? Just kidding…..

[@donwest7318]

Drop the filter inside the factory box the original filter was in you will not get heat from the engine and you will get cool air from the fender like the factory intake

[@jamesdawson9907]

Question. Was the eBay filter smaller than the K &N? Did you have any fitment issues with switching out filters? I like the chrome look but I hate the small filters.

[@HerAutoPerspective]

Nope everything fit fine

[@stephonb7254]

For what you paid you stole that intake! I'm thinking about putting one on mine. I have the drop in filter for the time being.
Good work on the video.

[@HerAutoPerspective]

StephonB lol thank you I appreciate it!! 👍🏾

[@DreCarFinder]

Does that require a tune?The 5.0 seems to require a tune for damn near all aftermarket intakes

[@HerAutoPerspective]

DatBoyDre I don’t think it “requires” a tune but I’m sure it would certainly help. I’m waiting until I can install headers before I get a tune 💪🏾

[@humanbeing3768]

No.

[@jgilliam103]

I am getting my first car soon and I am getting a cold air I take for it

[@Lolyoufailman]

Take out our O2 sensor here.... Okay next video

[@vs.7295]

Lolyoufailman why

[@20DW01]

S S. Because thats the mass air flow sensor

[@FatalCorleone07]

Hey.. How can I order that heat shield? Do I have to actually call K&N?

[@HerAutoPerspective]

FatalCorleone07 I’d check their website first and look for your model year

[@cristoferhernandez1]

The pipe wasn’t that good or ?

[@deondreanderson9502]

ODU!!!

[@DL-qq4nu]

did you dyno it to find out exact gains

[@HerAutoPerspective]

I haven't yet, I want to wait to dyno until I get my headers

[@jameseveritts8113]

The air filter is really only difference

[@TryRickPayton]

Dam a cute girl that can work on a car I am so jealous.

[@josebeltran702]

MAS AIR FLOW SENSOR!***

[@robersniper]

I use a 65mm flexpipe( 12 bucks) pod filter( 20 bucks) thats it

[@baileymadison4034]

Have you noticed increase in horsepower or increase in mpg?

[@robersniper]

@@baileymadison4034 nope

[@fishingstix610]

Oh honey.... putting a new filter in your airbox wont give you 5hp it took 3 of ya all day to put that concoction tongether? Lol i would have slapped it on in 10 minutes also i like your diy style i would never pay upwards of 300 for a cai unless it was carbon fiber cause a intake wont give you any hp gains without a tune

[@codyjames5036]

Shut the fuck up you sound like a douchebag.

[@Likadees]

You're an Idiot's at best!
