Official AIRAID Intake System Feedback, Pictures Thread - Page 28 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Installed mine today. Everything from the packaging, through the instructions, to the fit and finish was really impressive. Outstanding product. Didn't get a chance to drive much more than around the block, but initial impressions are positive. I had some decent off idle throttle lag at first, but it seemed to slowly iron out as I drove. No other issues that I can tell.

Well done!

I'll be jumping on a Mustang dyno next week...

Installed my Airaid kit last weekend. It sounds awesome working with my Race Headers. Fuel consumption has increased as has my enjoyment of the car. I have a feeling they're linked

A company must be registered with some American trade agreement something rather,but it costs a company to register and pay a fee to keep registered every 6 months or so,I talked to UPS and Mo from SRT about it, we paid so much cause its an auto 40$ brokerage fee plus tax plus COD n some other charges.
If shipped by UPS air brokerage goes down to $10,but at would cost a lot More.
USPS is the best bet cause its a government service.

Sucks

Whelp, turns out two cover screw backed and subsequently vanished. LockTight next time!

Finally got around to installing my intake. It sat in the box for a couple of weeks before I had time to install. It was painfull to stare at the box everytime I walked by it, so I covered it until installation time

Anyhow install went great, everything connected perfectly and installation and video instructions from Airaid were excellent. I opted for the polished lid on my intake, so I picked up some matching stainless screws and lock washers instead of using the locktight method. The gasket was a little sloppy fitting on the polished lid, the holes did not line up that great, it may be that it was cut for the black lid, but I made it work!

I've only had it installed for a day, but noticed immediate gains and it sounds awesome! No bogging issues to report, no issues at all.

Great vendor and great product from Airaid, not to mention amazing communication from both. Excellent upgrade and highly recommended!

I'll post pics when I get time

AAA+++

Are you guys resetting the ECU after the install? I'm still getting pretty decent off idle throttle tip in lag/bog on a cold start...

Just done mine 2 days back with the noise generator tubing and snorkel removed.. order from 86drift

Bu-Tang · 09-27-2012, 09:53 PM

Hey Airaid, have you Guys received my mail in rebate?

Brimford · 09-27-2012, 11:08 PM

Just installed my airraid intake tonight and the install went amazing easy. GF's dad was impressed by the quality of the kit

I guess i got to let the ECU adjust now though, because it seems i have to push the pedal in a bit more to get the gas going, hmm..

Sounds good when i revved it up though! Will go well when my Borla exhaust comes in.
