Read through the Grimmspeed intake thread and you'll see why I chose it. |

You must have misread what I was getting at, I am not talking about air straighteners on the MAF sensor. I understand the purpose behind that. I'm just glad there is another company looking into them in general considering grimmspeed is the only one for our cars right now. For placement I was referring to placing one right before the throttle body itself in the intake tube, smoothest possible air flow right before it enters the throttle body.. If it would actually make a small difference with these cars, maybe, maybe not. Doesn't hurt to try. If it supposedly has a small effect on dirt bikes, why not try that with our intakes. It very well could even be a placebo in the off road world too.

I'm still supporting @GrimmSpeed on this one. They are revolutionaries!

Its just paper filter, but if you need to "clean" engine bay go ahead or for pure aesthetic.

Thanks for all of the comments and interest guys!

Our intake setup will also be constructed in a similar manner to the systems we have been developing for the past few years. This includes a powder coated steel airbox or shroud, aluminum intake piping (or silicone pieces where applicable), an oiled and serviceable air filter, and the inclusion of an air straightener. An example would be our 08-14 WRX/STi system. We put a great deal of effort into product design and we have no interest in copying or replicating any other products. In this case, we picked the best location for the airbox and we are following our normal product design and testing process. All product R&D is completed at our DE headquarters and we highlight nearly all projects within our engineering blog linked below (provides some insight into what is coming from Mishimoto). http://engineering.mishimoto.com/ We will be posting up some additional R&D details soon with the full box design as well as initial testing results.

Round or squared should depend on if it's possible to make needed volume for stock like behaviour airbox within available free space constraints and free space shape. If no limits from those, then probably round box might be closer to selected round air filter shape / overall leave more room under bonnet (after all, IIRC round shapes contain most area/volume within set size. But then again often available free space is shaped in way that extra volume can be gained only by going squared).
I probably also would think a lot on best snorkel position and shape. If it's one time install, then customers might be willing to take off bumper for initial install. If it's for each filter change - that might cut customer count. |

LOL @ the Grimmspeed references.
Sure its a nice looking and probably high quality intake BUT LMAO @ 10RWHP without a tune and a even bigger to those who believe it. |

After seeing all the flames, deserved or not for the PLM header, I'm pretty disappointed to see people attacking Mishimoto for "copying" here.
There are not to many variations in making an ideal intake of this style, and if they do their R&D (and they will) and if Grimspeed does their R&D (and they did), you're going to find fairly similar and effective products from both companies. Mishimoto or any other company could merely copy what has already been successful, but they're going about things the right way and it's sad to see people attacking them for it. It's not as though Grimspeed or any other company is claiming that an under the hood boxed cone intake is a new idea. |

Anyone who thinks an CAI for this platform will create 10whp without a tune is smoking crack and any company claiming it is a liar.
So I give no kudos to Grimspeed and have no disdain for Mishimoto. Its a freaking airbox for a tiny little engine. Hell the damn filter and box are in the same freaking place as stock. There is no new air intake and no new special sauce other than some nice looking housings and a cone filter. How much air do you think a 2.0 liter 4 banger needs? If this engine was starved for air then maybe some of these aftermarket intakes would do some real meaningful hp gains. Thing is adding more air to an engine that already has plenty does not really do any good. |
