ETS says no tune required on a stock car. However, I would suggest monitoring it closely. Everyone seems to have different feedback about it. I would always suggest a tune to be safe.
Just did mine with your help, BUT... The clips hate me. I need to buy about five replacements. Also, the bolt they sent was too short and I had to use a step bit so it would reach. It works and sounds great! Thanks for your help.
I just installed this and thought I was missing a 12mm bolt that videos state to screw in the black intake tube/pipe. It was frantic during install trying to find a spare one. Finally figured out that new version comes with a rubber insulator instead (black rubber piece with 2 studs coming out of it). You screw that in by hand and then put on the pipe, and then the nut on it from hardware bag. Hope this helps someone.
I also ran into the fitment issues with the catchcan and airbox. I dremeled out the corner weld and back piece of metal to clear the can, but I left the top piece of metal alone so it was still a perfect rectangle retain the "stock" look. After the cutting, the stock air dam fit perfectly in place as well. I'm running California 91 on a stock tune and 4k miles in, I've had no issues or codes thrown with the post-revision model.
Thank you for the video brother. My sleeve i out in yesterday cause it was the only way that it felt like it worked. Didnt know you had to really muscle it but i did thanks yo your video. It is now installed correctly 😂❤ luckily i hadnt run the car yet
Thorough install video 👍🏼 Also good know about the radium catch can slightly being in the way as mine came yesterday and I’ll be Installing the dual catch cans over the weekend. I’ll Refer to your video of course. 🙂 Your billetsworkz short shifter video helped me out a ton. I put that in couple days ago. With the same set up as yours, short plate, shift bushing etc…love it! Not coterversaul at all, IMO. Keep the great content coming! and an update on how the ETS air in take is doing on the stock tune as I’m looking at doing that as well. 💪
I had the same issue with the radium catch can. I just cut the back right corner of the box about halfway down so it doesn't interfere with the catch can then closed it at an angle. Box fits fine and there is no pressure on the radium bracket. Happy to share what I did if you want.
Dude, you’re killing me, Smalls! At 11:42 minute, you start with your “hack” . Just like the short shift install for the shifter box plate. All that money spent to end up forcing, adding, jamming, hammering, etc etc your modifications. 😮😮😮😮
That's because it won't fit with my catch cans. I'm not scared to modify or "hack" things when they dont work. Not sure if you saw my reply to your comment on the Shifter box cover but that was literally how Billetworkz told me to do it. I really don't care because no one is really looking at it. It still works the same way.
Thanks for the vid. I noticed that ETS pipe didn't align straight into the coupler where it connects to inlet, but rather had a slight slant. The coupler seems to connect it with the inlets using the clamps. But the slant is bugging even with the coupler tightened. Was wondering if you noticed the same?
@@StreetInspired1 kinda shocked you didn't just send it on the basic parts off the bat especially after watching this car progress in the last year tbh shes gonna be there soon. Excited to see your progression with it
@@StreetInspired1 speaking of the catch cans: have you collected any gunk in them yet? So far I've gotten nothing in my single Mishimoto CC except a thin film of slight oiliness coating the inside of the can after about a thousand miles.
So I installed mine a few months back with the new metal housing they later provided I used to make 14.3 psi now I can only make 13.2…I am on a stock tune also
AEM and Perrin just both released intakes that are said to be safe to use with stock tune. I would trust them more over ETS since ETS made claims it was safe and really it was causing issues. Then to add a sleeve to try and correct their error... meh. At least Perrin and AEM took the time to design and test their intakes before releasing them.
@@brockjohnson1782 "Early on" doesn't mean anything as far as selling a product that is safe on a factory tune. Normally news outlets that try to report on things like to be the first but the facts don't always line up because their main objective is to be first without taking their time and confirming all of the facts. You want companies to take their time because in the end, you want your car to be safe.
@@brockjohnson1782 What? You are not making sense. If a company releases something and says it's safe to run with a factory tune and testing done that proves otherwise, that is not good. The revisions of the intake acknowledges these findings. End of story.
@@jeremyjackson8643 “not good”… in your opinion. What doesn’t make sense to me is how you think everyone has the same mentality as you. Ever heard of two-stepping? Not everyone cares as much as you abt their car being “safe”
Hi there, just got mine done following your video, thank you for a detailed install… do you you have an annoying type of whistle sound when slowly reving up the rpm band?
Yeah, it's the stock bypass/blowoff valve. I love the induction noise with the intake but definitely get annoyed by the high pitch whistle from the valve slowly opening
@@StreetInspired1makes sense, also did you after end up modifying your intake box, i also got the radium catch cans per your recommendation. I cut a slot but it’s still pretty bad and required much force to align the bolts
@fixflicks6877 I actually haven't gotten around to it yet. I might mess with it this weekend. The only issue I have is that the intske Duct doesn't line up to both holes for the pop clips. But I might still try to mess with it.
Ive been told i can run the intake stock withe my aftermarket exhaust i just have to drive around a bit for it to adjust and the tune is to make it work more efficiently
Any updates on this updated intake on a stock tune? I’m wondering if it is still safe after a couple of months of usage. I’m still deciding on this intake or the Perrin.
CRAP! I have to get under my car to instsall this thing!? hahaha. Update" I installed an ETS instake in myt 2023 today. Install was easy but I struggled getting the platic piping off of the turbo inlet!
Dumb question but what if you’re going for a pro tune with an after market exhaust(straight pipe with muffler) AFD F-1 and the ets intake do you need to remove the sleeves for a better airflow?
@StreetInspired1 ahh i see ok yea just asking because my under splash gaurd is hitting the piping for me to put the pop clips back on might have to adjust it then
ETS says no tune required on a stock car. However, I would suggest monitoring it closely. Everyone seems to have different feedback about it. I would always suggest a tune to be safe.
The only thing the cobb stage maps are good for are the cobb parts. So the only safe way to run a cobb ots map is if you use the cobb branded parts that are supposed to be used with the cobb ots map. For example cobb stage 1 can be used on a stock car. However cobb stage 1+ tune uses their Big SF intake. The only "safe" thing to run on that tune is the cobb intake. And so on. However people have been running cobb ots maps for years with mixed matched parts some get lucky others experience problems.
It was very hard. I actually used a wireless Samsung charger. 😂 (It somehow matched up perfectly with the size) and I used it to push down on it and it worked. Lubricating the O ring should help also!
So I ended up having to take the sleeve out cause I have a OTS tune for the car but my intake isn’t make the “whooshing noise” and I’m not making any boost more than 5psi
Will do. Currently looking into getting the car tuned. My peak boost before install and after hasn't changed. It's maxed at 14.9psi. It went up the other day when it got into the 80s. The hotter it gets the more boost the car needs to make the same target power.
VB yes, such a good car. I work in a shop at a Subaru dealership, and drive cars all the time. VB feels way better than the VA in my opinion, but I’m sure I’m biased

Looking forward to your feedback on DAM numbers running the ETS (w/ sleeve) on stock tune.

The hero we wanted, but not the one we deserve 🫡
Thank you for testing this for us on a stock tune ✌️ the hero we need
I appreciate the walkthrough! I’ll be putting mine on later tonight along with a Dmann OTS tune for it.
I was so confused when I got mine because of the shape of the coupler. Nice to have this updated installation video.
Thank you for the guide. USed it to install my ETS intake today.

My ETS intake hits on the plastic skid plate know matter what I do. Might have to reach out and see about a updated tube and couplers.
Great video man! Apprentice it
Any report on how the car has held up since? did you end up tuning?
Uh-oh. The flood gates are wide open now 😂
I'm just sad I couldn't do what I did on my last wrx. Car was protuned making 372whp at 800 miles. I've already put 5k on this thing haha
@@StreetInspired1 true...but now you can do what your VA couldn't. Get a protune for 370hp with just an intake 🤣
@@StreetInspired1 kinda shocked you didn't just send it on the basic parts off the bat especially after watching this car progress in the last year tbh
shes gonna be there soon. Excited to see your progression with it
Is it still holding up without a tune?
This is why I am waiting for the cobb intake... revisions are scary... why didnt they get it right the first time?
You’re gonna be waiting a VERRRYYY long time for COBB…
Please make a update video on anything you’ve noticed or any performance losses or gains!!
Agree!
My ocd was trigged when that bracket didn’t fit
The bracket did fit correctly, but the box didn't line up with the bracket because of the catch can. It definitely bothered me too though lol

Never run an intake on stock tune. It’s a ticking time bomb.

Then to add a sleeve to try and correct their error... meh. At least Perrin and AEM took the time to design and test their intakes before releasing them.
ETS came in clutch for those of us who wanted intakes early on, no need to shit on them

You can hear it at 13:50
Ive been told i can run the intake stock withe my aftermarket exhaust i just have to drive around a bit for it to adjust and the tune is to make it work more efficiently
No! Please do not do that, you are going to blow you’re car up.

I actually just got tuned and my tuner requires me to remove the sleeve for more airflow.
Great question. I was wondering that at well.
I just noticed that my coupler for the turbo is more of an elbow shape and your is a short it it because it's the updated version the made
Yeah they changed the shaping a little bit on the updated version
@StreetInspired1 ahh i see ok yea just asking because my under splash gaurd is hitting the piping for me to put the pop clips back on might have to adjust it then
i didnt get a 12 mm bolt
I’m waiting on the mishimoto intake release for the vb
Mishimoto makes a solid intake!
Can someone help me! If I run a 93 tune of Cobb access port is that the tune that this intake needs or it has to be a pro tune?
@mikeyroca this intake requires a pro tune on the Accesport. If you plan on running a cobb Accesport tune, you'll need the cobb intake.
Do you not need a tune with this intake?
ETS says no tune required on a stock car. However, I would suggest monitoring it closely. Everyone seems to have different feedback about it. I would always suggest a tune to be safe.
Cobb has a stage 2 map would it be safe to run this intake with that map ?
The only thing the cobb stage maps are good for are the cobb parts. So the only safe way to run a cobb ots map is if you use the cobb branded parts that are supposed to be used with the cobb ots map.

However people have been running cobb ots maps for years with mixed matched parts some get lucky others experience problems.
Is the whistle that lingers after the pull a leak ?
I have the same sound, was wondering the same thing…
So, this should be tuned for this intake before driving.
How did you put the sleeve back in with the O ring? Currently doing it and it’s tough af 😭
It was very hard. I actually used a wireless Samsung charger. 😂 (It somehow matched up perfectly with the size) and I used it to push down on it and it worked. Lubricating the O ring should help also!
So I ended up having to take the sleeve out cause I have a OTS tune for the car but my intake isn’t make the “whooshing noise” and I’m not making any boost more than 5psi
What was your peak boost before installation.. i need a good person to tune me 22wrx im also in Pennsylvania lmk if you recommend anyone.
Will do. Currently looking into getting the car tuned. My peak boost before install and after hasn't changed. It's maxed at 14.9psi. It went up the other day when it got into the 80s. The hotter it gets the more boost the car needs to make the same target power.
Need a tune
50,000 clips later....😂
l too will run my 2023 WRX stock. Extra money will be to pay off car early in 30 months
CVT owners need a tune, insert won't fit damn issues; requires a tune! Manual it should not require tune.
How do you know if you have dam issues on a cvt? I’ve put abt 5k miles on my car since I got an intake, no issues
I would guess because of how the cvt works an will keep the car at higher rpms for much longer periods of time while the cvt just changes ratios
U SHOULD TUNE IMMEDIATELY
Honestly I got my STI swap kit in the garage haven’t bothered to install yet… should I just get a VB and swap it to that ?
