Agreed. I just did the newer one for a client. Never did it before and he covered all the bases. Blows my mind there's ZERO instructions lol COBBerific
@@anthonypoirier6744 if you go on the cobb support website and type in whatever item you are installing, there are step by step instructions with pictures on how to install it. it took me a lot of digging to even find this lol
So I've been looking for a good install video since I ordered mine a week ago and everyone else's were just terrible when I searched for a instal video, this one showed up in my recommendations and it is by far the best one. You actually showed where everything was and stressed the proper way to install. Good content my guy!
You did such a great job with this video. Seriously wonderful. You covered everything thoroughly, clearly, and pleasantly. I'm still torn on whether or not to get the intake, but I know precisely how to install it and what to expect if I do. Thanks very much.
Glad you like it. I had one on my 16 cvt, took it off. Stock is better engineered and doesn't heat soak. Check your intake temps vs stock after running hard and you'll see what i mean.
Bruh this video is by far the best install video I have ever seen. No long talking about this and that just exactly as the video states! Great info great explanation just overall great video👍🏽
This...is a proper install video...thanks bro! And thanks for the comment about the notch at the inlet, that's something I probably would have overlooked.
Very good video and very detailed. I just ordered the cobb stage 1+ and this is by far the best installation video I've seen thus far. I will be revisiting this once it comes in the mail.
I just installed my Big SF intake today with all the help from your video. Helped so much and the end result I got of turbo noises is insane. And my engine is way louder. Highly recommend going from stage 1 to 1+
COBBerrific instructions that came with the kit Ridiculous that's how COBB rolls. Huge help installing this kit for a client thanks to you. The 1 inch air filter connection on pipe should be made known by COBB. Fitment quality could be better too. Its bolt on but not superb.
Big thank you for this video!!! Just followed it today and was able to get my 2016 WRX running smooth! Highly recommend doing this on any FA WRX, nice power bump and overall the tune is more predictable Also Side Note: I have the newer bracket and I’d argue it’s easier to put in place
@@wrx6622 Uhhh fun fact, the OTS tune from Cobb did not play nicely with my car at ALL… Ended up selling the intake and reverting to a pro tune with a bunch of other parts I got. Including a Grimmspeed intake vs the Cobb one
15:52 my car doesn't have an under tray to begin with 😂, either way, thank you so much for this detailed video. I could always figure things out myself, but why not use your expert advice when it's available.
your video helped my buddy and i today. really appreciate it. do you have any recommendations for specific gauges to keep an eye on for a little while that'll tell us things are all flowing and not leaky? i do have A/F ratio on. any other for this install?
how do you get the psi/ temp / and acceleration on one screen? also if running it for a long period of time without the tune will be horrible or just ill-advised?
They started with the auto again in 2015+, 2008-2014 only had the 5 speed unless you can find an impreza 2.5gt, which is equivalent in power to the 02-08 WRX with an auto and essentially a WRX give or take some features. They only made them from 08-10 Personally, I had a 2013 WRX... The car was great and more raw but the 2015+ is a better car by miles, also my wife has a Forester XT with the CVT, the CVT is fantastic (same one as the WRX)
All intakes you put on this car require a tune IMO no matter what the manufacturer says. it’s altering the air fuel ratio. so your car will need a tune!
What happens if an e tuner says that the filter isn’t 1” from the lip of the tube. I thought I measured precisely but after my 6th revision he asked if I followed the 1” rule which has me kind of worried..
So, I definitely don’t want to knock your WRX, but I’ve had a few CVTs now and they all sucked. How does this CVT pair with the FA20? I just don’t see the point in adding “performance parts” to something like this. Also, is there a reason you didn’t go 6speed manual?
Boost & Shutter to put my recent post into perspective, my last car was a Toyota IM (CVT), and it was dreadful to drive lol. That’s what happens when you go from a full bolt-on stage 3 Focus ST. Long story short, it couldn’t pass emissions in Cali, so I jumped into the cheapest car I could find after losing so much money. I know for a fact that your WRX is leaps and bounds better than my last car. Great video overall, I think I’ll do a drop in filter for my WRX, and look for a way to remove the resonator. I just don’t feel like dealing with California’s ridiculous rules.
I tried removing my bracket and the bolts in the frame snapped in half. Any suggestions? I know I’m probably gonna have to drill the bolts and replace them but didn’t know if you had any other suggestions.
Hello sir. Thank you for all the cvt video u put on in UA-cam. I have 1 big question I’m planing to install Cobb intake and accessport. I already have agency power dual exhaust on. I was just wondering how good the ap map is and is it reliable on the long run. I just want a little power so Intake and ap all I want to do more power mod. Should that be okay without protune? Please help me.
Boost & Shutter thank you very much for your time to answer. I will wait your your etune video to come up. But for not it would be ok to just put intake n run stage 1+ for now, and as soon as I can get an etune right.
I’m running Cobb stage 1 kit, tgv and egr deletes and you gotta get Perrin turbo inlet Cobbs intake will eventually break the stock plastic turbo inlet the bolts connected to the turbo will break off which happened twice on my cvt wrx, Perrin charge pipe and boomba bov.

Honestly the best install video I've seen. I'm shocked that it doesn't have more likes. Thanks man. You're making my install go easy.

That makes sense. What aftermarket parts would you consider must haves at this point?
@@akqjtn sure you already know, but subaru upped the cvt warranty to 100k miles.

Thanks for a detail instruction for this, I didn't have to take the undertray for the install, I was able to do everything on top.
Very good video and very detailed. I just ordered the cobb stage 1+ and this is by far the best installation video I've seen thus far. I will be revisiting this once it comes in the mail.
I just installed mine on 2020 wrx. Damn! It's the best investment I've ever done lol!!
Yours are tune also
THE BEST VIDEO FOR INSTALL COBB INSTALLATION
Video is really well done. Often I have to watch 2+ videos before starting a new install. Not this time! Appreciate it.
cobb should reuse your install video as their official install instruction ! good job man !
Excellent video mate .One of the most thorough and technical presentation of this particular part .Great work
Best install video I've seen. Great job
I just installed my Big SF intake today with all the help from your video. Helped so much and the end result I got of turbo noises is insane. And my engine is way louder. Highly recommend going from stage 1 to 1+
does the accesport has a big sf map? or just use the stage 1+ sf ?
That was bomb the off the shelf tune from Cobb is stage 1 + big SF
That was bomb it’s required both the intake and catback exhaust
Mace 1 i see i just have an ap but would like to get a stage 1
Mace 1 so i just need the map stage1 + sf ?
Great instructional video!! Couldn't be better! Gonna install mine today.....appreciate the help...keep it up!!!
Great job with this video! This will help me install my new intake with ease.
Great video, clear instructions, good vocal, very helpful.
Yo this was one of the best videos by far. Thank you.
Thank you for being so detailed!
Thanks for the video bro. Made the install extremely easy.
Video was exactly what I needed. Good shit bro
EXCELLENT VIDEO! THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video!
great professional presentation man
Great video bro thanks for your help.
No problem 👍
BEST Cobb Big SF Install Video Out There!! Great job bro
I’ll be using this for reference very soon, New year New me. I mean new WRX 😏
Imagine if you are my instructor, I’ll be in class 24 hrs!!!
COBBerrific instructions that came with the kit
Ridiculous that's how COBB rolls. Huge help installing this kit for a client thanks to you.
The 1 inch air filter connection on pipe should be made known by COBB.
Fitment quality could be better too. Its bolt on but not superb.
Great video man... alot of help thanks!!!
Thank you so much! This video qas perfect
Big thank you for this video!!! Just followed it today and was able to get my 2016 WRX running smooth! Highly recommend doing this on any FA WRX, nice power bump and overall the tune is more predictable
Also Side Note: I have the newer bracket and I’d argue it’s easier to put in place
Have you had any issues since you installed it ?
@@wrx6622 Uhhh fun fact, the OTS tune from Cobb did not play nicely with my car at ALL…
Ended up selling the intake and reverting to a pro tune with a bunch of other parts I got. Including a Grimmspeed intake vs the Cobb one
Great Video!! I'm impressed with the sound quality. What are you using for filming this?
15:52 my car doesn't have an under tray to begin with 😂, either way, thank you so much for this detailed video. I could always figure things out myself, but why not use your expert advice when it's available.
Also, I was fine without a lift since my car is on stock suspension.
This was a helpful review. Thank you. I’m trying to get an idea of how loud it is with windows up and cruising? Like will it wake up a baby?
Is a tune a must after installation? Or cleaning? Anytype reset?
your video helped my buddy and i today. really appreciate it. do you have any recommendations for specific gauges to keep an eye on for a little while that'll tell us things are all flowing and not leaky? i do have A/F ratio on. any other for this install?
The “shifting” of the CVT sounds so pathetic
I am planning to get big sf Cobb I take with 1+ tune and I’ve heard it’s not recommended to tune a CVT as it’s affects your transmission.
Super helpful thank you
Hey man, late here, ordered a cobb intake few days ago. I got a 2016 levorg, do I have to get ny car tuned? What happens if I don't
how do you get the psi/ temp / and acceleration on one screen? also if running it for a long period of time without the tune will be horrible or just ill-advised?
If u had a manual it would sound better because youd hear way more between shifts do to you letting off the gas to clutch in and shift
Do you know if this intake would fit my 2015 impreza sport premium? I’m assuming it would but I wanna be sure before I buy it
Do you need to tune after installed air intake or not?
Does the 2013 Subaru wrx have the cvt and is it worth it to switch to the wrx I'm coming from a 2006 saab 9-3 aero v6 turbo
They started with the auto again in 2015+, 2008-2014 only had the 5 speed unless you can find an impreza 2.5gt, which is equivalent in power to the 02-08 WRX with an auto and essentially a WRX give or take some features. They only made them from 08-10

Where did you get isolator that attach to the chassis?
Nice video. Wondering can we use this air intake kit with the stock tune? Thx
All intakes you put on this car require a tune IMO no matter what the manufacturer says. it’s altering the air fuel ratio. so your car will need a tune!
Sounds beautiful ..
really good vedeo, thank you.
Do i need to have it tuned to stage 1 before installing this
What's the difference between the "big" sf intake and the regular sf intake ?
Do you still have the stock airbox?
Is it okay if the cone is bit not straight? it went a bit sideways?
I’m curious as to why you chose a CVT? Putting performance mods on a automatic WRX doesn’t seem quite right to me but idk
Hi there great videos my question is do you need a tune in order to get this on the cvt I just want it for the sound not to go fast or anything ?
Cool thx for the reply keep up the videos bro ....
you drive automatic??
haha . I was thinking the same.
What happens if an e tuner says that the filter isn’t 1” from the lip of the tube. I thought I measured precisely but after my 6th revision he asked if I followed the 1” rule which has me kind of worried..
Boost & Shutter it was at 1 before then at this revision it dropped to .812
Unreal video

when installing the intake did it improve in mpg?
Thanks!
so are you saying that the intake won't giving a bit of power increase? i am a 2018 wrx cvt and really like to know if it will give power increase.
@@akqjtn k&n claims theirs gives a 25HP gain, have you seen anyone get those numbers?
Yeah no it sounds so much better in a manual
It work on 2018 sti??

Nice
do you plan on putting on any wheels?
Do you plan on adding a BOV?
Bovs arent good for these cars
Doesn't the filter need to be oiled?
@@akqjtn can you make a video on how you clean and oil the filter??
Otherwise keep up the good work!
Will this void warranty? 🤔
yes, depending on your dealer. I'd talk to them and find out (: cheers
Looks like there is a dent at 15:00

Damn dude why the CVT :/
Damn dude why do you suck
First!
Cvt sounds awful
