It's weird how at first I subscribed to your channel because I had my 19 Miata GT. A year later I traded that in for a 21 Accord Touring and I'm still watching you channel. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Aaron for the support and understanding - it is a bit time consuming putting the time into these videos, but worth it if people are benefiting from them 😁
Thank you for the watch, and for leaving a positive comment 👍😁. If you haven’t watched the other videos yet, there’s an entire series in which we install and dyno test various air intakes.
Excited about the future video with the intake test. I just recently got my 2.0t accord. I'm genuinely surprised that I think this Accord 2.0t stock is faster than my 2016 stock WRX.
Congratulations on your new car! As a previous owner of a WRX, I agree. The Accord with its quick spooling turbo and torque available low in the RPMs gives the sensation that it’s even faster than it is. 😎
You are the best. Really good content. Can't wait to see if any are worth it. Currently have RV6 downpipe, PRL front pipe, PRL intercooler and also the charge pipe kit. Was looking at intakes but most bang for buck is downpipe and Ktuner.
@@TheLemonFactor I am running a Phearable stage 3 tune that came with my Ktuner purchase 6 months ago. Looking to get a custom tune sometime in April when I go to Carlisle PA. Currently in Florida.
I've done some research on the Accord forums, a lot of people are saying all the aftermarket air intakes either provide 0 HP gain, or even lower performance slightly. PRL, K&N, doesn't matter. It just changes the sound according to a few modders. ):
Eagerly awaiting the testing video, I have a '21 TLX and would love to put on a CAI when they're developed for this platform. The gains should be similar to what you find with the accord 2.0, basically the same engine
The gains may be similar, but it depends on how Acura tuned the engine, and how the OEM intake is mechanically positioned/setup, just to name two factors 🤷♂️
I got the prl high flow version 2 and man I will tell you this it feels faster by a lot even my friend who says maybe you get a few hp said wow i never exp a gain like that with a intake
I love these videos so much even though I own a miata and will never own an accord lol. Hope to see more fun content for both (but of course for the miata as well!) Great work brother ❤ Definitely review that takeda closed box, interested to see how it does on a Honda.
Thank you, J H 👍. The Takeda was the first to arrive with a speedy 2 day delivery time. Maybe I should give it the honor of being tested first for the category 4 intakes 🤔. What would you like to see in the future regarding the Miata?
@@TheLemonFactor wow that was quick delivery time, hot dang! And as far as miata testing, I hear a lot of folk in our clubs who follow you wishing to see a dyno test with the gwr maxtorque header, paired with your full kit of the midpipe/exhaust. And I also hear my friends asking me about my mishi oil catch can all the time, maybe something you could cover long term review on install & amount of build up captured to see value after so many miles. I'm bout to drain mine this Friday after 4k miles so I'll save my findings personally.
Thank you for your feedback and recommendations. Let me know what you find in that catch can. I’m interested in knowing how much and the color / consistency
@@TheLemonFactor Sure can do, and if you feel comfortable/ have an email I can contact you on, I'll send you pictures of what it all looks like for better reference. Happy to help!
The bypass is more noticeable, power delivery feels a bit smoother, tough to tell if it’s much faster. The filter makes it a little louder, but figured I would run the OEM filter through the winter months.
Great stuff, I am also looking forward to the results, I have a K&N drop in which is probably close to the PRL drop in filter, and I do feel better throttle response with it vs the stock, and I always wondered what the gains are as far as numbers.
Thank you for your information !! I just bought the 2020 1.5l and I’m looking for the right mods…I’m looking to see the numbers on every filter to decide which one I’m buying.
Congratulations on your new car 🎉. Enjoy! I have plenty of videos on the channel in which we’ve dyno tested various air intakes - if you haven’t done so already, check them out 👍
@@DonnCorleone876 I’m glad that I watched these videos before I spent my money. I won’t buy any of them…I recommend you to buy the Ultra Racing front strut tower bar.
I have the PRL HVI intake and I love it. You can hear a little more spool and noise but it’s more stealthy. Don’t know if I really feel the HP gain but I do enjoy it. Would love to see the numbers though!
I have a series of videos in which I dyno test several of the most popular air intakes for the 10th Gen Honda Accord - checkout the playlist on the channel 👍😁
Great video man looking forward to seeing the results so I can get the best bang for my buck. Question what all season tires would you recommend on these? I’m considering the Michelen piolet sport AS4 and would like to go up to 245 on the stock 19 rim
And if they arent then can you even put like a 245 tire on a rim that has a 235 on it? Im sorry im asking cuz when it comes to tires idk shit and this is actually really confusing for me. Im coming close to changing my tires and would also like to go 245 if i can but is that even possible with the stick rims?
I have pilot sport as4 on my Accord v6 sedan. Very, very good tire. If you go from stock to these, you'll notice a more direct ride, better car feedback, and it'll have a bit more grip. I love mine.
If the “cold air intakes” aren’t closed wouldn’t they just be sucking in hot air from under the hood. It just seems counterproductive. I never really understood that.
Thank you for ur videos post,I'm still debating on my exhaust system, I don't like the loud sound,I like the factory quite sound, I'm most definitely getting a air intake system
I'm glad you liked the video! Have you had a chance to watch the multiple videos in which I dyno test multiple air intake systems to see which produces the most power gains?
@@TheLemonFactor hey man yea I'm going to get the PRL intake system next and debating on a tune either the k- tuner or the hondata , I saw ur exhaust video. Ur like me, I luv The performance but hate the annoying sound from the exhaust!
Some performance air intakes add sound, while others do not. I have individually tested several and have separate videos for each, which includes sound clips. Checkout the channel playlist for access.
@@TheLemonFactor They do but only 25 units were released for testing & I was told that soon they will distribute more along with more maps, but so far it's taking a while & for a guy like me who likes to tune my cars it feels like a lifetime
Hey Chad, u still have your mishimoto oil catch can in ur Accord? I want to put one in but too worried about the builder pressure it takes to push through the hose system! Don't u worry bout that?
I'd like to know if you get any efficiency bump from upgrading the AIS? If nothing else a better turbo up to highway speeds might amount to some savings by keeping the engine/CVT from prolonged stress during the acceleration. Although on the same hand the CVT may bottleneck. Thoughts?
I have 2019 honda accord 2.0 manual and to save your money and time do not insrall a mishimoto air intake unless you are tuned!! It was making my car sliggish and wasnt helping proformance to my car, for the 10 speed it improves for some reason ..its wierd
I have a stupid question. Can I remove the plastic air intake duct to increase sound? I have a K&N drop in panel filter. If I just remove the air duct would I get more sound out of that? Or is it more damaging to do that
@@TheLemonFactor the actual inlet that let the air go into the box cover. The box cover stays on but would removing the air scoop. I saw it some where in a RUclips shorts but I never got to hear a sound clip or anything like that.

Looking forward to the results! I just bought the PRL stage 1, but will likely only run the tube through the winter months.
How do you like your PRL Stage 1?
The bypass is more noticeable, power delivery feels a bit smoother, tough to tell if it’s much faster. The filter makes it a little louder, but figured I would run the OEM filter through the winter months.
Looking forward to the results

I can't wait.
Been waiting to get the mishimoto intake for 2 months and it’s coming this Thursday. Let’s see how it goes
Mine has been on back order for a while now 😕🤷♂️
Can’t wait to see your results. I have the Mishimoto and I always wondered if I messed up not getting the PRL HVI.
My prediction is that there’s not going to be much of a difference between the two 🤔
You're killing us Chad! Results! 🎅 sent me some cash! Results!
I’ve been sick, so it’s going to be several weeks.
Man I'm sorry for your illness. Godspeed in you getting well!
Thank you! I appreciate it 🙂
This channel is fucking bananas.
😂😁👍
A cold air intake (I have the K&N) makes the turbo and blowoff sound amazing.
I wonder how much more you’ll be able to hear it 🤔
Sounds are great but you are robbing performance I promise you
@@nicholasfolse I have a state 3 tune and other mods so it’s still way more than stock.

You can’t go wrong with Michelin’s - I’ve always had good experiences ranging from all-seasons to summer performance 👍.

Im coming close to changing my tires and would also like to go 245 if i can but is that even possible with the stick rims?
In most cases you have some room to increase your tire width (to a point). I’ve heard and seen 245 fit fine on the stock rim 👍

@Juan - that ain’t good. Have you checked the MAF sensor? Have you disconnected the battery and reconnected?
Does adding an air intake increase noise significantly, something similar to aftermarket exhaust ??
Some performance air intakes add sound, while others do not. I have individually tested several and have separate videos for each, which includes sound clips. Checkout the channel playlist for access.

Does adding an aftermarket intake affect the life of the car?
Is he doing this on a 1.5T or 2.0T?
Our Honda Accord project car is a 2.0L 👍
My question is if when install the intake the car not have any problem wirh not apper check engine light?
My prediction.... Mishimoto and PRL stage 2 will have the highest gain in performance
They certainly both have a strong following.
Do you have any solid proof of these horsepower gains are you are you just believing with written?
Did you watch the entire video?!? If you did, you'd know that this video identifies the air intakes available along with the manufacturer's power claims. I clearly state at the end of the video that we'll be installing and testing for sound & power (DYNO TEST) several of the air intakes, which was done.
The next time when you do the dyno I recommend you putting some racing oil to not damage the engine in those hard scenarios.
What do you consider racing oil?
Search it on the internet
So which filter is better kandn or afe? I do t want to do my research 😂
Guess you’ll have to checkout the channel page and watch the videos to find out 😉👍
Can anybody here break down the purpose of a oil catch can to me please? Is it jus to catch oil thats dripping? But why would be oil dripping in the first place? This thing has me lost as hell

Are you close to publishing your results? Chomping at the bit!
This will be a multi video series covering install, dyno results and sound recordings for each intake. As such it will span many weeks so that the car’s ECU has time to learn each air intake. It’s going to take me some time 🤷♂️

They’re not the only ones to stretch the truth 🤷♂️🤔
