This mod added so much extra power that when I launched it, the front clip tore clean off. Even made the rims spin inside the tire before it took off. Thats quite a bit of power gain.

It's the kind of advice that can fuck your car long term. "Performance" air filters get their performance in one of two ways. Either they have MUCH more area (which this one clearly does not), or they do a hell of a lot less filtering. Operating on the assumption that if one is being cheap about this, one intends to keep the car until it's a rusty pile of scrap, doing this is quite counterproductive. Allowing more dust in your engine will wear out your piston-cylinder sealing components (piston rings, texture of bore lining, probably valve seats too, for good measure) a lot quicker, which will make your car an oil burner a lot quicker. The short term gains are nice, but long term it's just not worth it. Not unless you plan on getting rid of the car next year.
But did you see how dirty his second vehicles filter was? When you remove the bottoms it sucks in all the dust meaning you have to replace your air filter more often
@@trippiebear848 Agreed. Sure, he's allowing more air access to the surface of the filter, but its air from inside the engine bay. Is a "hot air intake" really going to help over the stock version?
Awesome video! I have a 1988 RX-7 Turbo that I take better care of than my wife :) Anyway... I use a great car maintenance program www.automotivewolf.com on my computer to manage all the maintenance and track performance, expenses, fuel economy etc. After watching your video I decided to get a K&N High Performance air filter and see if it made any difference. I immediately could hear and feel an increase in power. I then carefully tracked the fuel economy using the software and saw a 3 mpg increase from 17 to 20 mpg with normal driving. This simple modification definitely made a difference. Thank you!

hey man I like your motivation, the sky is the not the limit lol. a little ingenuity and a little know how, anything is possible. people don't realize it's a simple concept air mixes with fuel and is ignited which pushes a chunk of metal attached to a rod attached to a wheel creating a circular motion very simple. motivation determination and a goal in mind, can bring you wherever you want to go.
Much respect to you Traser579!!! I love DIY stuff and it makes you feel better in the end knowing that you did it yourself. Even if it doesn't work as would expect, at least you know you tried!!! Been there done that. Mostly positive results. Nothing in life is perfect!!! Kudos my man!!! ;)
Cooler air helps, but so does getting more air. Gotta find a balance. The goal is to get more airflow while keeping air intake temps close to ambient air temp or as cool as possible.
I used to live in the desert, so I've observed that from time to time the clearer air and insane temperatures cause a change in brain function. It seems to lead to a bit of craziness and also ingenuity, which seems to be the case here. If you add a bit of your own "rare sense" to his, you can solve any question that may arise locally. I like this guy's presentation. Thank You, JD
Now this is my kind of mechanic!!! I'm a noob to working on cars but I do believe you can teach me a lot and I'm ALWAYS on a budget that's why I started doing what repairs I can on my own. Thank you sir!!
You need to provide more details -- what you say makes no sense. ANYTHING that is placed between the Carb or Throttle Body and the Manifold is a RESTRICTION !! Can you provide a SOURCE for this idea !??
i surely hope this guy already updated himself as to how cold air intake "improves" performance lol! at times you lose hp from using these things. noise is never equal to hp. also, storytelling and mouth generated sound effects isn't an effective proof compared to a dynorun
Look up the video on this channel of the 2014 F150 Turbo on the dyno, same intake mod was done to this truck. Much more power at the wheels than the factory rated at the crank for this truck.
I mean it's a good idea in theory, but then you are allowing all the heat that is around the engine to go into the engine rather than the cooler air that it gets from outside, typically through the finder wall. The temperature differences inside the engine bay and outside are pretty large once the engine is at normal operating temperatures. And hotter air means its less dense therefore you really aren't getting as much air in the cylinder as you think. If you were to do this and add an intercooler it would be much more beneficial, you don't need more air, you need colder, more dense air. This allows more fuel to be injected resulting in more power.
Every vehicle you cranked you immediately began revving the hell out of it... you know that is EXTREMELY bad for your entire rotating assembly right??? All that "free horsepower " isn't going to do you any good with scarred up cylinder walls or spun bearings...
A cold air intake on a computerized vehicle is a waste of money, unless you get a programmer & reprogram the computer for more air or the computer will just give the vehicle more fuel to compensate for more air !
ACTUALLY, a Cold Air Intake will perform BETTER on a Computerized engine than it will on a Carbureted engine, because the Computer reads incoming air TEMPERATURE as well as air FLOW, while the Carbed engine measures NEITHER. Most of the CAIs don't work as well as expected -- because they weren't installed properly, or the design was poor. "Home-made" CAIs are almost always a failure. Here, we saw the bottom of an Air Box cut out completely -- a BAD IDEA, since only HOT air from the engine bay is available. MORE NOISE, but NO measurable increase in performance OR fuel mileage. MUCH better to just remove the Snorkle from the Air Box and replace it with a piece of aluminum Clothes Dryer Hose -- this allows cold air to be drawn from FORWARD of the engine bay.
Now, just imagine how much dust and debris can go into the engine breathing straight from the ground/street with out protection., It is no the same getting air from front of car than from underneath, not counting how many times you going to change filter, see how dirty the look when he open the box?

synthetic oil can also help fuel economy check tire pressure often do make sure they manufacture spec the sticker is mostly by the door jam keeping the RPMs low
Wow dude. I don't know how you did it but you took a simple 1 minute explanation and stretched it 25x... It's called a "Cold air intake" and it's like 60 bucks with and is CARB compliant. Not to mention, at autozone one of those air filters would be about 60 bucks to begin with and a CAI adds some nice shiny chrome that anybody would like to see on a car
I wanted to get an AEM intake kit for my FRS, but the price was just that $300. So I ended up getting an Air-Aid for half that. I was looking for some stuff for my 5.0 Explorer, I checked to see what they had for it. They had 1 K&N drop-in filter. It was $50, still expensive, but still 1/3 the price of what I paid for an air-box intake kit. When I took it for a test drive, it went from very sluggish to running like it was new. I don't regret that decision. Plus all are cleanable and reusable for the next 100k miles.
I cut the cats off of my 95 F150 with the 302 n code, and installed dual exhaust, with low restriction mufflers, I tell you, that engine was very happy. 23 MPG on 33 12.5 r 15 tires, beautiful sound too.
NAH. You didn't get 23 MPG -- Those big-ass tires CHANGED your overall gear ratio. Almost always, bigger tires will LOWER your MPGs. Big-ass tires WILL DECEASE acceleration and INCREASE your stopping distance. Cutting off the cats makes your rig just another air pollution source -- it's illegal -- and stupid.
Removing the cats on a obs ford increases HP quite a bit, like 15 to 20 HP along with a aftermarket muffler, and the proof in that is because the stock e7te cylinder heads are very weak on the exhaust side and don't flow well, even the stock manifolds are crap, put some headers on cut the cats out and a nice muffler put on and you can gain 30 HP
@@dawsonjorgensen3521 The mods you recommend are expensive (headers), illegal (cat removal), and stupid (because they're expensive AND illegal). By-the-way -- the "honeycomb" cats used by Ford will flow as much air as a straight pipe. Ford cat removal is double-stupid !!
@@SlikLizrd picked up a set of stainless header for 180$ they work great and have the hookups for EGR, lol and btw the cats were pretty restrictive on the older Ford's, especially after decades of aging they like to plug up because of them running rich, had cut mine out and made a decent amount of power, 87 to 96 obs ford
I don't know. I hear hi-flow filters (non-paper) may let more dust in the engine and destroy it in the long term. 1-2 MPG gain doesn't seem to worth killing the engine. Any one tried or have better info?
I have been running K&N Air Filters since 1975 -- in cars, trucks, and SUVs -- on-road, off-road, city, and highway speeds. NEVER a problem with dirt getting through to the carbs or fuel bodies, even during off-road racing, hill-climbing, or crossing streams and rivers. For those who live in wet climates, it's important to know that the K&N air filter is the only one that WORKS WHEN WET !! TO service your K&N, use the K&N cleaning/oiling products ONLY -- follow the DIRECTIONS.
Most people do not do ANY true bench-mark testing (meaning "real life street performance results"), before and after. The Dyno tests are not "real life" either. And, many people say "I FEEL it is better, or worse"... Really!??? Born with a butt-dyno? I need to see the facts on a screen to believe it. Otherwise it is just plain guesswork; I started my professional life in technical research and know how the mind can be fooled ANY way. So I went out one night and did what Mr. Budget Boosting in the video suggested on a 2006 Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix with Auto transmission, engine 1.8L VVT-i 1ZZFE 126HP (at the flywheel). Long story short, about 10+10 runs (mixing several times OEM and modified) down (literally) and back up a 3 miles stretch of straight road with "bench-mark signs" to see how it performs at every point from lower to higher speed. I burned over a 1/3 of the tanks fuel, but refueled to have the same weight on the car and to be able to compare 1:1 before and after. However, the temperature dropped 4F (night time), so this is a "factor" that provided more dense air at the end. (77F start, compared to 73F end). Results: a pretty steady 4-5% speed gain compared to stock at all bench-mark signs. That's very good for "free", and I was surprised myself. I am sure that this result is not applicable for every car, and may be as little as 0-2%, but when you hit 4+% you can clearly notice a difference. I did not rely on my "butt-feeling" (which would have tricked me, just by "the noise"), rather real factual GPS numbers, "before and after". So, Mr. Budget Boosting, you get my independent endorsement that it "works" what you said; how much HP-gain is however depending on the car, positioning of the air intake & the actual filter used (PS: CLEAN paper filters are absolutely OK; it does not need to be a fancy filter. CLEAN is the key word!) Thanks Mr. BB for the time making this (funny) video, and sharing it with us. ;-)
Eric WindWheeler Some other points to acknowledge are: To get the best benefit, the exhaust should also be gone through to ensure free flowing mufflers replace the stock restrictive mufflers. Some manufacturers run more than one muffler per pipe, and resonators too. I usually use only one muffler, replace the other muffler with straight pipe and also bypass resonators with exhaust pipe too. That ensures that the balance is done to where both intake and exhaust are free flowing and work together. Air in, exhaust out. Also resetting the PCM after the modifications are done to allow the computer to relearn its fuel trims to the new found intake and exhaust flow. I did make videos that discuss more on the intake modifications as well as exhaust too.
Budget Boosting Certainly agree with you. As I show with a "real life test", even just the intake modification made a good improvement. For me it is also a "noise issue". I use the car long distance; I don't want any louder exhaust (sitting in the cage for 1-2 hours), and the intake is only noticeable loud(er) if I put the pedal down. As I said, I was able to record clear improvements in speed compared to stock over the entire bench-mark test distance by just letting the new & clean stock paper filter have MUCH more air, basically the way you showed it. Since it reflected in about 4-5% speed increase at any point, it indicates that my stock exhaust system is probably not too bad restrictive to start with. I think it has almost 2 1/2" diameter pipes from front to tail..
Eric WindWheeler Its usually the mufflers, resonators and catalytic converters the factory uses that are very restrictive. It is a great basis to improve upon. Every car I have ever done both these conversions to became a whole different car in performance, response as well as economy provided I could keep my foot out of it..... NOT
Eric WindWheeler Numbers aren't everything. If your ass is telling you that it's faster, then it probably is. In the world of dirtbikes and quads pretty much all assessment of power gains from modifications are done using an ass-dyno. Alot of times dyno's themselves aren't accurate for a number of reasons (many don't even simulate rolling resistance, and I've seen many dyno places dyno car's in the wrong gear and get very skewed numbers) and most people don't look at the dyno graph. They just read the final number and if you actually lost 2hp at the top end but gained 5hp in the bottom and mid then I'd say it was worth it.
Julian G *"if you actually lost 2hp at the top end but gained 5hp in the bottom and mid then I'd say it was worth it."* BINGO! That's where the "usable" HP *needs* to be.
No matter how much you chop up the air box that dirty filter isn’t gonna suck any more air.. you would be better off by simply changing the filter with a new one..
More air flow means more gas into the engine..not an improvement on gas mileage. when maf sensor reads more air computer adjusts fuel input to avoid a lean condition and stop detonating.. it doesn't increase mpg but gives you less mpg.
The mod on the Lincoln DOES NOT provide more air flow -- it provides LESS RESTRICTION to the normal air flow. The modification of the Lincoln air box is just insane -- the throttle body diameter is the limiting factor. It is easier to remove the air box in order to REMOVE THE SNORKEL -- the snorkel diameter is about 1.75 inches -- MUCH smaller than the Throttle Body opening.
I will not comment on whether this video was entertaining, as I was actually looking for some facts on how to gain horsepower and gas mileage to say, a four-cylinder Toyota Tacoma. A person would have to be nuts to go tearing their airboxes and exhaust systems up on the basis of what was (not) communicated here.
Lots of hidden information in this video, the secret is, you have to watch the entire video, take notes, and get all the hidden secrets in this video. I have an even better free horsepower, torque and fuel economy video on my channel Mad Boosting, Check it out.
I loved this video. You are an entertaining guy and should do commercials. Thanks for the info about more air to engines. You are good at making your point. As a veteran myself, I thank you for serving. Never forget.

You think the car manufacturers are intentionally hurting their fuel economy? Dude, fuel economy and horsepower sells cars and they spend huge amounts of time and money engineering vehicles from the factory to maximise fuel economy and power. These modifications may help some on much older vehicles but any somewhat modern vehicle is going to be balanced for power and economy from the factory. The air induction sound does not mean more power and economy.
They optimize what they can in order to conform to the laws and emissions the car is made for. So even say, in your state or province, you may have less restrictive laws, and you may be able to change things for more performance but may not conform to other states, but that it's legal in yours. But they can't only make a model of the car for your state/province, as the cost of manufacturing would suddenly increase. Personally I'm not a fan of having an air filter out into the open like this, but usually once you take in more air, you'd want to take in more fuel so you're not running lean either.
I actually watched this whole video just to see how stupid it would get. If you're interested in adding HP/TQ/fuel economy, do literally the exact opposite of whatever this dude does. Sure he's allowing more free flowing air, but he's also allowing more probability for more particulate matter into his engine. How does glassed over cylinders, blown seals, and water saturation sound?
Yes, there is a great tendency to really put the foot into it, I do that as well. The potential for fuel economy and higher low end torque is there however, human nature of flooring it for the effect outweighs the economy aspects.... Its fun though.
I'm pretty sure you barely got any performance improved on that lincoln, if any at all! The car is programmed to get the air needed whether it be hard or easy. The only thing you did was change a bit how it sounds. It Does sound better, however, take into account that when that hood is closed...that intake will just be sucking in that Hot air from the engine. Not better than being cold from the outside
yeap this dude is right, i remove the airbox from my bike and install K&N filter direct on the carp and do ajust the jet needle for more fuel and turning for a bit more air, and i have bully lot of car and bike on the highway, my next project is to relocated the filter away from the engine bay to allow to suck in cold air, and this will further increase horse power
As crazy as this guy sounds, his ideas worked great on my crown Vic and Grand Marq. They sound like screaming banshees from 3500 to 5500. Cut the bottom off of the air box, it works great! Make sure to leave the mounting points so it can get mounted back up.
My, Taurus has a K and N filter. It gets 2.5 mpg more than a paper filter. Before the air box there is a air horn that sucks cool dense air threw it from the factory. I have never taken the inner liner of the fender off to see if it restricts the flow. Have any of you car nuts seen this air horn there. Shawn

it's funny, the free performance is loss performance, all of those mods will draw hot air witch has less oxygen for the combustion witch equals less mpg and power. I know this because my buddy did it in his car without any heat shields and he lost mpg and power lol the guys half right with the restrictions and air flow part but that's just part of understanding how everything works with each other. also I think it's funny that he hasn't shown any proof but just noise lol
+Budget Boosting I just watched it and since the truck was also tuned along with the air mod, it doesn't prove your point, and straight piping usually leads to worse economy. and their are plenty of Dino runs with just a air intake mod that show that with a can filter you lose power, and if it does increase power it's very minimal where you don't even notice, air intake mods by themselves don't make any noticeable difference in power but possibly make you lose power
I did all the tuning on my truck and yes, I know what made the difference. The tuner made very little difference by itself but after I did intake and exhaust, that made everything work effectively. Must breathe before performance and/or economy can be realized.
it can get very complicated. if you change how much air goes in then you will need to change the amount of fuel mixing with the increase of air, and then change the amount of restrictions on the exhaust. A finely tuned machine is a beautiful thing.
An air intake by itself isn't going to do anything. Been tested over and over, engineers make the airboxes as good as possible with the exhaust setup on the car. You'd get more fun out of suspension or doing BOTH exhaust and then an air filter, doesn't matter how much air COULD get into the engine if the engine can't get rid of it fast enough to accept more air. That's putting it pretty simply for you. Do headers back and you'll see a lot more of an improvement with that aftermarket intake, still pretty negligible though.

Need to work for the General Motors Corporation give them some crazy ideas
Boy oh boy I like this guy, ahahahhaa
+Ashton Murch And I'm sure you two would make a lovely couple!
Nice man I've done my cheap k&n modification
Add a hollow metal ball between carb and intake (works like a bong) atomizes and vaporizes gas doubles mileage
You need to provide more details -- what you say makes no sense. ANYTHING that is placed between the Carb or Throttle Body and the Manifold is a RESTRICTION !!
Can you provide a SOURCE for this idea !??
i surely hope this guy already updated himself as to how cold air intake "improves" performance lol! at times you lose hp from using these things. noise is never equal to hp. also, storytelling and mouth generated sound effects isn't an effective proof compared to a dynorun
Dynos mean nothing if you can’t tell the difference on the road
Look up the video on this channel of the 2014 F150 Turbo on the dyno, same intake mod was done to this truck. Much more power at the wheels than the factory rated at the crank for this truck.
I mean it's a good idea in theory, but then you are allowing all the heat that is around the engine to go into the engine rather than the cooler air that it gets from outside, typically through the finder wall. The temperature differences inside the engine bay and outside are pretty large once the engine is at normal operating temperatures. And hotter air means its less dense therefore you really aren't getting as much air in the cylinder as you think. If you were to do this and add an intercooler it would be much more beneficial, you don't need more air, you need colder, more dense air. This allows more fuel to be injected resulting in more power.
Colton Voelkel yep..just use a better filter and modify intake tube size
U forget the air gets heated anyway from the eng temp in the eng bay
ahh another internet armchair engineer. You forgot one thing the fucking vehicle is MOVING.
That air filter is going to get clogged so fast the way he is doing it.
kept rolling through the comments & FINALLY get to one that is correct (in my opinion anyway)
Cocaine's a hell ofa drug
Dude... you could do a voice over for Don Henley of the Eagles. Check it out.
Are you aware you look like the crop duster dad from Independence Day? (which is awesome by the way)
Every vehicle you cranked you immediately began revving the hell out of it... you know that is EXTREMELY bad for your entire rotating assembly right??? All that "free horsepower " isn't going to do you any good with scarred up cylinder walls or spun bearings...
Yes, before the video started, the engines WERE previously warmed up....
how is it free when you always have to buy a filter or some clamps or gas for the welder
A cold air intake on a computerized vehicle is a waste of money, unless you get a programmer & reprogram the computer for more air or the computer will just give the vehicle more fuel to compensate for more air !
ACTUALLY, a Cold Air Intake will perform BETTER on a Computerized engine than it will on a Carbureted engine, because the Computer reads incoming air TEMPERATURE as well as air FLOW, while the Carbed engine measures NEITHER.
Most of the CAIs don't work as well as expected -- because they weren't installed properly, or the design was poor. "Home-made" CAIs are almost always a failure.
Here, we saw the bottom of an Air Box cut out completely -- a BAD IDEA, since only HOT air from the engine bay is available. MORE NOISE, but NO measurable increase in performance OR fuel mileage. MUCH better to just remove the Snorkle from the Air Box and replace it with a piece of aluminum Clothes Dryer Hose -- this allows cold air to be drawn from FORWARD of the engine bay.
@@SlikLizrd Exactly. I was wondering if anyone realized what he was doing, by drawing in hot air from the engine bay.
Good impression of Jack Nicholson voice 🙂
Now, just imagine how much dust and debris can go into the engine breathing straight from the ground/street with out protection., It is no the same getting air from front of car than from underneath, not counting how many times you going to change filter, see how dirty the look when he open the box?

He did about 5 lines before this video! Jk but in all seriousness he's instantly in my top 3 for d.i.y gurus.
made a new Free intake video on my Mad Boosting you tube channel. I believe this on is better, it is specifically for Ford modular 4.6 and 5.4 engines in the F150, F250, F350, Excursion, Expedition, some mustangs and other Fords that used this unique cone filter with very small intake hole (reverse trumpet like I call it)
I have a 2006 truck Chevy 5.3 eng. And bad mpg, changed air filter, cleaned mas/air and got 16 mpg the truck is two week drive. Any other suggestions? PS I Love
All your info keep up the great work, I Thank you your truly Tony!!
I get 20 on the highway with my 2003 z71 long bed extended cab. Bone stock, no upgrades at all. I probably get 17 around town. It's all in how you drive it and where
I did the "bronco" thing at first
then went to a simple k&n open element good subtle sound and performance.
synthetic oil can also help fuel economy check tire pressure often do make sure they manufacture spec the sticker is mostly by the door jam keeping the RPMs low
Synthetic oil gives you a marginal increase in power, but unfortunately the same fuel economy.
If "Macho Man Randy Savage" was employed by "HSN"...
Great Video! Simple = power, efficiency, and on the cheap. Great ideas, KEEP THEM COMING.
You say free but its not. When you make higher flow, you burn more fuel and I douth that, that gives you better miles.
Wow dude. I don't know how you did it but you took a simple 1 minute explanation and stretched it 25x... It's called a "Cold air intake" and it's like 60 bucks with and is CARB compliant. Not to mention, at autozone one of those air filters would be about 60 bucks to begin with and a CAI adds some nice shiny chrome that anybody would like to see on a car
😂😂😂😂😂 I was thinking the EXACT same thing.
He extends it that way for a reason..

Not sure a free mod or any mod can net 8+ mpg but thank for sharing cool things to test
I wanted to get an AEM intake kit for my FRS, but the price was just that $300. So I ended up getting an Air-Aid for half that. I was looking for some stuff for my 5.0 Explorer, I checked to see what they had for it. They had 1 K&N drop-in filter. It was $50, still expensive, but still 1/3 the price of what I paid for an air-box intake kit. When I took it for a test drive, it went from very sluggish to running like it was new. I don't regret that decision. Plus all are cleanable and reusable for the next 100k miles.
Lol that would have happened with any new air filter. K&N filters gets you a few hp but terrible particle filtering
I cut the cats off of my 95 F150 with the 302 n code, and installed dual exhaust, with low restriction mufflers, I tell you, that engine was very happy. 23 MPG on 33 12.5 r 15 tires, beautiful sound too.
lmao
NAH. You didn't get 23 MPG -- Those big-ass tires CHANGED your overall gear ratio.
Almost always, bigger tires will LOWER your MPGs.
Big-ass tires WILL DECEASE acceleration and INCREASE your stopping distance.
Cutting off the cats makes your rig just another air pollution source -- it's illegal -- and stupid.
Removing the cats on a obs ford increases HP quite a bit, like 15 to 20 HP along with a aftermarket muffler, and the proof in that is because the stock e7te cylinder heads are very weak on the exhaust side and don't flow well, even the stock manifolds are crap, put some headers on cut the cats out and a nice muffler put on and you can gain 30 HP
@@dawsonjorgensen3521 The mods you recommend are expensive (headers), illegal (cat removal), and stupid (because they're expensive AND illegal).
By-the-way -- the "honeycomb" cats used by Ford will flow as much air as a straight pipe. Ford cat removal is double-stupid !!
@@SlikLizrd picked up a set of stainless header for 180$ they work great and have the hookups for EGR, lol and btw the cats were pretty restrictive on the older Ford's, especially after decades of aging they like to plug up because of them running rich, had cut mine out and made a decent amount of power, 87 to 96 obs ford
Awesome channel! Thanks sir for your share!
I don't know. I hear hi-flow filters (non-paper) may let more dust in the engine and destroy it in the long term. 1-2 MPG gain doesn't seem to worth killing the engine. Any one tried or have better info?
I have been running K&N Air Filters since 1975 -- in cars, trucks, and SUVs -- on-road, off-road, city, and highway speeds. NEVER a problem with dirt getting through to the carbs or fuel bodies, even during off-road racing, hill-climbing, or crossing streams and rivers.
For those who live in wet climates, it's important to know that the K&N air filter is the only one that WORKS WHEN WET !!
TO service your K&N, use the K&N cleaning/oiling products ONLY -- follow the DIRECTIONS.
Most people do not do ANY true bench-mark testing (meaning "real life street performance results"), before and after. The Dyno tests are not "real life" either. And, many people say "I FEEL it is better, or worse"... Really!??? Born with a butt-dyno?
I need to see the facts on a screen to believe it. Otherwise it is just plain guesswork; I started my professional life in technical research and know how the mind can be fooled ANY way.
So I went out one night and did what Mr. Budget Boosting in the video suggested on a 2006 Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix with Auto transmission, engine 1.8L VVT-i 1ZZFE 126HP (at the flywheel).
Long story short, about 10+10 runs (mixing several times OEM and modified) down (literally) and back up a 3 miles stretch of straight road with "bench-mark signs" to see how it performs at every point from lower to higher speed. I burned over a 1/3 of the tanks fuel, but refueled to have the same weight on the car and to be able to compare 1:1 before and after. However, the temperature dropped 4F (night time), so this is a "factor" that provided more dense air at the end. (77F start, compared to 73F end).
Results: a pretty steady 4-5% speed gain compared to stock at all bench-mark signs. That's very good for "free", and I was surprised myself.
I am sure that this result is not applicable for every car, and may be as little as 0-2%, but when you hit 4+% you can clearly notice a difference.
I did not rely on my "butt-feeling" (which would have tricked me, just by "the noise"), rather real factual GPS numbers, "before and after".
So, Mr. Budget Boosting, you get my independent endorsement that it "works" what you said; how much HP-gain is however depending on the car, positioning of the air intake & the actual filter used (PS: CLEAN paper filters are absolutely OK; it does not need to be a fancy filter. CLEAN is the key word!)
Thanks Mr. BB for the time making this (funny) video, and sharing it with us. ;-)
Eric WindWheeler Some other points to acknowledge are: To get the best benefit, the exhaust should also be gone through to ensure free flowing mufflers replace the stock restrictive mufflers. Some manufacturers run more than one muffler per pipe, and resonators too. I usually use only one muffler, replace the other muffler with straight pipe and also bypass resonators with exhaust pipe too. That ensures that the balance is done to where both intake and exhaust are free flowing and work together. Air in, exhaust out. Also resetting the PCM after the modifications are done to allow the computer to relearn its fuel trims to the new found intake and exhaust flow. I did make videos that discuss more on the intake modifications as well as exhaust too.
Budget Boosting Certainly agree with you.
As I show with a "real life test", even just the intake modification made a good improvement. For me it is also a "noise issue". I use the car long distance; I don't want any louder exhaust (sitting in the cage for 1-2 hours), and the intake is only noticeable loud(er) if I put the pedal down.
As I said, I was able to record clear improvements in speed compared to stock over the entire bench-mark test distance by just letting the new & clean stock paper filter have MUCH more air, basically the way you showed it. Since it reflected in about 4-5% speed increase at any point, it indicates that my stock exhaust system is probably not too bad restrictive to start with. I think it has almost 2 1/2" diameter pipes from front to tail..
Eric WindWheeler Its usually the mufflers, resonators and catalytic converters the factory uses that are very restrictive. It is a great basis to improve upon. Every car I have ever done both these conversions to became a whole different car in performance, response as well as economy provided I could keep my foot out of it..... NOT
Eric WindWheeler Numbers aren't everything. If your ass is telling you that it's faster, then it probably is. In the world of dirtbikes and quads pretty much all assessment of power gains from modifications are done using an ass-dyno. Alot of times dyno's themselves aren't accurate for a number of reasons (many don't even simulate rolling resistance, and I've seen many dyno places dyno car's in the wrong gear and get very skewed numbers) and most people don't look at the dyno graph. They just read the final number and if you actually lost 2hp at the top end but gained 5hp in the bottom and mid then I'd say it was worth it.
Julian G *"if you actually lost 2hp at the top end but gained 5hp in the bottom and mid then I'd say it was worth it."*
BINGO! That's where the "usable" HP *needs* to be.

That K&N filter will run you at least 50.00, unless you steal one then it's FREE!!!
Yep, just check the cars in the parking lot for decals.😎
No matter how much you chop up the air box that dirty filter isn’t gonna suck any more air.. you would be better off by simply changing the filter with a new one..
he's talking about 300$ for an intake. bitch please. i paid 30$ for mine on ebay. and only 200$ for a full exhaust.
Link please 😩
kids, remember, just cause you think drugs don't harm you right now, doesn't mean you won't regret overusing them later 🤣

Fk yah
This guy is not a trip, He is on a trip thinking free flowing heated air adds power.
Trippin with no map 😂😂😂
Back when i was young i would say crazy guy nothing to see here. But now im older and can see clearly.. you are woke man!!! Not brainwashed. GJ man
More air flow means more gas into the engine..not an improvement on gas mileage. when maf sensor reads more air computer adjusts fuel input to avoid a lean condition and stop detonating.. it doesn't increase mpg but gives you less mpg.
The mod on the Lincoln DOES NOT provide more air flow -- it provides LESS RESTRICTION to the normal air flow.
The modification of the Lincoln air box is just insane -- the throttle body diameter is the limiting factor.
It is easier to remove the air box in order to REMOVE THE SNORKEL -- the snorkel diameter is about 1.75 inches -- MUCH smaller than the Throttle Body opening.
clean those air filters for more air lol
+Dyton Edwards showing the concept.
I will not comment on whether this video was entertaining, as I was actually looking for some facts on how to gain horsepower and gas mileage to say, a four-cylinder Toyota Tacoma. A person would have to be nuts to go tearing their airboxes and exhaust systems up on the basis of what was (not) communicated here.
Lots of hidden information in this video, the secret is, you have to watch the entire video, take notes, and get all the hidden secrets in this video. I have an even better free horsepower, torque and fuel economy video on my channel Mad Boosting, Check it out.

Reinier van der Heijden That's a high status to reach. Hopefully someday....
Hahaha I looked through the comments just to see if anyone noticed !
You think the car manufacturers are intentionally hurting their fuel economy? Dude, fuel economy and horsepower sells cars and they spend huge amounts of time and money engineering vehicles from the factory to maximise fuel economy and power. These modifications may help some on much older vehicles but any somewhat modern vehicle is going to be balanced for power and economy from the factory. The air induction sound does not mean more power and economy.
They optimize what they can in order to conform to the laws and emissions the car is made for. So even say, in your state or province, you may have less restrictive laws, and you may be able to change things for more performance but may not conform to other states, but that it's legal in yours. But they can't only make a model of the car for your state/province, as the cost of manufacturing would suddenly increase. Personally I'm not a fan of having an air filter out into the open like this, but usually once you take in more air, you'd want to take in more fuel so you're not running lean either.
I actually watched this whole video just to see how stupid it would get. If you're interested in adding HP/TQ/fuel economy, do literally the exact opposite of whatever this dude does. Sure he's allowing more free flowing air, but he's also allowing more probability for more particulate matter into his engine. How does glassed over cylinders, blown seals, and water saturation sound?

It was one of his fun made up words he used in this video. like engine and ingenuity i guess lol
💀
This guy's completely lost his mind if he thinks changing the stock filter to an aftermarket filter will get you 8 more MPGs.... LOLOLOLOL
Okay. Most of time folks that make their cars/trucks sound like that are keeping their foot in it...which kills MPG. Been there, done that.
Yes, there is a great tendency to really put the foot into it, I do that as well. The potential for fuel economy and higher low end torque is there however, human nature of flooring it for the effect outweighs the economy aspects.... Its fun though.
love this dude hi five
I'm pretty sure you barely got any performance improved on that lincoln, if any at all! The car is programmed to get the air needed whether it be hard or easy. The only thing you did was change a bit how it sounds. It Does sound better, however, take into account that when that hood is closed...that intake will just be sucking in that Hot air from the engine. Not better than being cold from the outside
Victor Acosta Good point
how often is he changing that cut filter with those dirt roads
yeap this dude is right, i remove the airbox from my bike and install K&N filter direct on the carp and do ajust the jet needle for more fuel and turning for a bit more air, and i have bully lot of car and bike on the highway, my next project is to relocated the filter away from the engine bay to allow to suck in cold air, and this will further increase horse power
As crazy as this guy sounds, his ideas worked great on my crown Vic and Grand Marq. They sound like screaming banshees from 3500 to 5500. Cut the bottom off of the air box, it works great! Make sure to leave the mounting points so it can get mounted back up.
I made a new intake video on Mad Boosting which IMO is much better than my original Free intake mod video.

Dude, you are entertaining as hell!
Damn these vehicles are still almost as fast as my Honda v-tec hatch👌🏽
My, Taurus has a K and N filter. It gets 2.5 mpg more than a paper filter. Before the air box there is a air horn that sucks cool dense air threw it from the factory. I have never taken the inner liner of the fender off to see if it restricts the flow. Have any of you car nuts seen this air horn there. Shawn

I Love this bro.
it's funny, the free performance is loss performance, all of those mods will draw hot air witch has less oxygen for the combustion witch equals less mpg and power. I know this because my buddy did it in his car without any heat shields and he lost mpg and power lol the guys half right with the restrictions and air flow part but that's just part of understanding how everything works with each other. also I think it's funny that he hasn't shown any proof but just noise lol
Watch my F150 on the Dyno which gets COLD air from my Intake mod and free flowing intake mod. This truck pulls hard.
+Budget Boosting I just watched it and since the truck was also tuned along with the air mod, it doesn't prove your point, and straight piping usually leads to worse economy. and their are plenty of Dino runs with just a air intake mod that show that with a can filter you lose power, and if it does increase power it's very minimal where you don't even notice, air intake mods by themselves don't make any noticeable difference in power but possibly make you lose power
I did all the tuning on my truck and yes, I know what made the difference. The tuner made very little difference by itself but after I did intake and exhaust, that made everything work effectively. Must breathe before performance and/or economy can be realized.
it can get very complicated. if you change how much air goes in then you will need to change the amount of fuel mixing with the increase of air, and then change the amount of restrictions on the exhaust. A finely tuned machine is a beautiful thing.
Ah i see, so now the beonco sucks in 250 degree hot air to feed that hungry V8.
this guy named a lot of bold claims without a thorough evaluation. do your research
Did dyno video, watch it before you make your above claim.

An air intake by itself isn't going to do anything. Been tested over and over, engineers make the airboxes as good as possible with the exhaust setup on the car. You'd get more fun out of suspension or doing BOTH exhaust and then an air filter, doesn't matter how much air COULD get into the engine if the engine can't get rid of it fast enough to accept more air. That's putting it pretty simply for you. Do headers back and you'll see a lot more of an improvement with that aftermarket intake, still pretty negligible though.
