Awesome info, the cooler the intake air the better the car will run. 👍🏽 I just got my SF intake yesterday. I was so thirst to install it that I did while it was drizzling 🌧. I notice a difference, but I have to get a tune. I’m running on the OTS map 93 stage 1+.
Thank you for this review and IAT details! I wanted to help lower my IAT temp over my Cobb SF unit and ordered one out of a guess that it might help :) Appreciate your reviews and confirming my hopes!
After switching from stock intake to the Cobb redline is a huge difference in sound. After install the car wasnt too happy with it being in. It didnt want to start and took a minute to start. Once started the car held a high rpm idle and slowly came back down to a little lower than original idle. The throttle response was also not as instant as it was before install. I drive an 18 STi. It definitely needs a tune from an accessport for this install. It sounds amazing and i love how it reaponds when it is actually on the highway. With that said it did have a hiccup while on the highway. Definitely needs a tune. It did make the car feel more a live.
@@benharbin1241 car was tuned before i actually drove it around. First drive was just a test drive to check it out. But yeah.... it definitely needs at minimal a ots tune :/ covid is issues for going places for anything. Be safe
So not a big difference in sounds/loudness between the regular SF and Redline? How about stock versus this, big difference, does the video do it Justice?
Thanks for the quick reply! What about tuning it, have you just ran the Cobb OTS stuff or do you get pro-tunes? Any issues with reliability? I’m heavily debating on modding my STi, but I’m not so sure about if it’s worth it now or not…
How much power does the car make w a stage 1+ sf? I have an 18. Just installed an invidia N1. My access port and Cobb sf is in a box, waiting due to warranty.
Hard to say since every car is different. But if I were to guess, I would say probably around 300-310hp and 290-300tq to the wheel. Maybe a little more. Maybe a little less, but I would say around there is what you should expect.
I am at a bit of a cross roads with my SF intake. On one hand I want to do all of the modifications that most people do to keep the IAT's low (gold tape on the outside of the box, maybe some insulation on the inside, fender air ducting, etc). More and more I am starting to lean towards just buying this new intake but I just don't have the funds for it currently but I might consider getting it later on. My car is still stock on the stage one map.
just bought an sf intake and a AP, do you recommend the OTS tunes? Or do you personally go to a tuner. After i installl these both, i’m planning on getting it tuned from a tuner in NJ and going to be getting the same BPV you installed. Kinda new to all this lol, thanks in advance ! (forgot to mention i have a 2020 STi)
The cobb ots is very safe. And by that I mean it’s catered to a blanket of cars as opposed to individually tuning your specific car. I highly recommend getting the car tuned on the dunk or an etune catered to your specific car. Not all mods and cars are created equal!
have you tried putting the end cap to see if it is quiet? i want an intake but do not want the added woosh noises and the risk of injesting water as my sti is my full time car. i just discovered this intake and it appears to be fully sealed with the end cap and will not heat soak since it is very close to the stock intake design layout.
I haven’t tried it with the end cap on, so I can’t comment. However, Cobb claims it removed the intake sound completely. You won’t have an issue with hydro locking. Unless your car is in a lake with water over the hood, you won’t have to worry about that.
@@Scoobyfreak86 Thank you for the video brother! Honestly, I have the whole carbon fiber theme going and liked the design but I like the sounds a lot more :D I think I should perhaps stick with the Cobb Big SF intake then
Scoobyfreak86 Hi great video, what do you recommend I've got an 2020 sti with Invidia R400 exhaust installed already, the parts I've got but still didn't install are invidia catted downpipe and the cobb redline intake, just got my Accessport. should i go stage 1+ with the intake without downpipe or stage 2 downpipe without intake? what would you recommend?
If you are planning to go more than stage 1+, you’ll need all the proper supporting fueling mods. I would recommend just the intake and stage 1+ tune. If you want to add a downpipe, I suggest upgrading the fueling components.
@@Scoobyfreak86 what about just dp and exhaust no intake? still, need fuel sysytem ? thank you btw good info. tbh I've got another car that's stock with 608bhp so the Wrx sti I'm not looking to go crazy bhp with it due to its notorious problems and people pushing the limit with a small fragile boxed engine smh that's why i love ur feedback
If you have another car that has power, stay stage 1+. It’s plenty of fun snd it honestly doesn’t need more power. It’s all about the balance and how it handles. But yes, can go stage 2 with a Downpipe. Just can’t do the intake as well unless you upgrade the fueling.
@@Scoobyfreak86 man exactly what I needed to hear, I agree no need for a lot of power it's fun to drive daily as is just with the Invidia R400 exhaust. that's why i bought the car. side question did you install a catch can or Aos ?
I love your sti by the way. I’ve got a 2015 sti i wish I would have got the lapis blue instead of the WRB. Lol Keep up the good work your videos are great.
Sucks pun intended lol.... About the sound was I wanted it to be just as loud as the SF , but I am still planning on picking this up, been wanting more carbon fiber products for the sti world.
Trust me, it sounds very good. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Keep in mind, I came from the SF intake. If you are coming from stock, you won't notice the difference. However, since I was able to own and enjoy both, I was able to do the comparison. It's worth the price.
Have you done any videos with the side plate installed? Wondering if the induction noise is even more reduced with it installed. I definitely agree with the sf intake and when gassing just a little and it sounding like its too much. Lmk
Is that a radar detector? Love the vids. I just tuned my '16 STI with the OTS Stage 1 COBB map but was looking at this intake and you definitely sold me on it after also watching the install video. Thanks! I am also running the COBB SS catback.
Never tried it. The most preferred intake for most tuners is the Cobb sf. Most consistent readings and actually can provide gains. I’m sure this redline will be a favorite of the tuners due to the lower IAT’s.
Always fun to watch these videos, feels like I’m right there listening
Glad you like them!

You influenced me to get a lbp sti, and I just ordered a redline stage 1+ kit because of this video. Thanks for all the great content!
Awesome! Glad I was able to help. Enjoy!

You need a tune to run an intake safely on this car.
Tune yesterday, you're risking your motor
@@benharbin1241 car was tuned before i actually drove it around. First drive was just a test drive to check it out. But yeah.... it definitely needs at minimal a ots tune :/ covid is issues for going places for anything. Be safe
I have the SF and it's pretty good. I've spent like 4k with Cobb and their customer service was quite rude the last time I spoke with them. Shame.
Thanks man for the vid I got my redline installed this weekend and it is great!!! Spool noises are great
Great honest review no hype.
Man it looks sooo good, love it!
Lower IAT's are a huge bonus.
Absolutely! It is worth it alone just from the lower IAT's. I was not expecting to see such a drastic decrease in temps. Makes it even more worth it.
@@Scoobyfreak86 Yes it is.
So not a big difference in sounds/loudness between the regular SF and Redline? How about stock versus this, big difference, does the video do it Justice?
Big sf is louder overall. 1 being quiet, 5 being loud. Stock: 1, redline: 3, sf: 5
Thanks for the quick reply! What about tuning it, have you just ran the Cobb OTS stuff or do you get pro-tunes? Any issues with reliability? I’m heavily debating on modding my STi, but I’m not so sure about if it’s worth it now or not…
Pro tune is the way to go
Really enjoy your videos I have a 2017 sti, where did you mount your camera for that view. Is it a bracket attached to the passengers seat?
Camera is sandwiched between the seat and Headrest haha
Scoobyfreak86 that’s awesome going to have to try that!

Wait and save up. The reward of getting when you truly want is much more gratifying than buying option b and c.
@@Scoobyfreak86 I will take your advice, thanks a lot!
You probably said this a million times, so apologies beforehand 😬 what catback exhaust do you have? Thanks bud
Delta motorworks
so I can swap out my sf intake with the redline and not need to retune?
Yes that is what I originally did as well. Cobb said no retune is needed.
just bought an sf intake and a AP, do you recommend the OTS tunes? Or do you personally go to a tuner.
After i installl these both, i’m planning on getting it tuned from a tuner in NJ and going to be getting the same BPV you installed. Kinda new to all this lol, thanks in advance !

How's your head unit gps? Heard they can be glitch prone. Should I consider a pioneer? I'm concerned with sound quality as well.
Had it for 2.5 years and not a single glitch. Sound quality improved. But I also upgraded to the kicker speaker/sub around the same time.
What kind of deck is that it’s beautiful
Idoing
I want this intake but still under dealer warranty?? Nice review
So is mine 🤭
What's the loudest intake out there for induction noise for the 2015+ STI?
Not quite sure but anything without a box would be the loudest.
@@Scoobyfreak86 Thank you so much for the response!

did you get any extra hp after sending your logs with the redline intake?
@scoobyfreak86
What head unit is that?
This one looks better but the Big SF intake is louder?
A bit, but not too much. Don’t expect it to be crazy loud over the redline. It’s just what I initially noticed.
@@Scoobyfreak86
Thank you for the video brother! Honestly, I have the whole carbon fiber theme going and liked the design but I like the sounds a lot more :D I think I should perhaps stick with the Cobb Big SF intake then
So I can rock this on my stock sti and run no tune?
No you need a tune for this intake
Ah good ol' NJ. My home state.
just watched the installation video
Could you possibly get a head mount so we can see the road and gauges more
On my list of camera gear upgrades!
what's nav system is that?? Its beautiful and want for our STI we're building
Check my video coming out in 30 minutes.
Great sound, not to loud 👍🏻Keep the vids coming. 👍🏻 brilliant.
So, if I buy a turbosmart BPV like yours and this intake, will the cobb access port be enogh?? Or do I need kind another tune?
Yes the Cobb tune will be just fine with the intake and bpv. No extra tune needed for the bpv.
@@Scoobyfreak86 Ok, thanks man
what head unit is that? and how do you like it?

do you know if the redline air intake would still fit with a perrin radiator shroud?
Only the driver side of it. I run it that way.
I love your sti by the way. I’ve got a 2015 sti i wish I would have got the lapis blue instead of the WRB. Lol Keep up the good work your videos are great.
Yo scooby! Kinda seems like a dumb question but what ots tune would you recommend for stage 1 with the redline intake? 91 octane
I recommend going to an etune. Check out brentuning.
SOUNDS PRETTY SWEET INDEED!!
is there a CARB sticker on the intake box?
It comes with one if you need it
@@Scoobyfreak86 I'm in Cali. I need CARB approved floor mats 😒 thanks for the info
Great looking car! Just started following. What’s your wheel/tire setup?
Enkei rs05rr’s Michelin as3’s 265/35/18
Looks and sounds great!

how much for the protune? At brentuning
Prices are on their website
Wil it fit a wrx ?
This is for 2015+ ej, so it will not fit the fa motor.
Could you do a 1 year review or something like that? XD, I'm considering this one, but don't know how it ages.
It looks as good as it did the first day I installed it. 0 issues. Sounds and looks beautiful. Still highly recommend it nearly a year later.
Is this with the side plate or no?
Not sure what you mean. The intake is one entire unit. It’s not like the previous version with the separate box.
@@Scoobyfreak86 the side plate that you can remove for added intake sound. I just currently have mine removed and contemplating reinstalling it.
Ahh yes. Mine is off.
Have you done any videos with the side plate installed? Wondering if the induction noise is even more reduced with it installed. I definitely agree with the sf intake and when gassing just a little and it sounding like its too much. Lmk
I haven’t as I prefer the sound without the plate on.
Wish you would have done a sound video from the engine bay
Don’t have proper audio equipment to get the actual sound. Tried my lav mic once and it blew the audio out.
nuts bro!
Thanks man
the ac was on during the pulls hahaha, let's see it RIP!
A/C turns off automatically at WOT, actually most cars do this.
@@sluflyer06wow didnt know, my 08 wrx feels like an impreza when my ac is on haha
@@nickverendia418 only at full WOT, maybe 08's dont' the newer cars do? My STi feels teh same A/C or not.
Is that a radar detector? Love the vids. I just tuned my '16 STI with the OTS Stage 1 COBB map but was looking at this intake and you definitely sold me on it after also watching the install video. Thanks! I am also running the COBB SS catback.
Yes sir. Uniden dfr7. Looking to upgrade to the r7 currently.
Thanks for the review my question is if I get this for my 2019 do I have to do a tuning.
Yes. You need a tune for any intake you run on this car.
Can you run the cobb sf tune on this?
Yes
What tuner you use
On this setup, I was using Brentuning. Highly recommend!
I’m in jersey too
Should I get the redline or the regular cobb intake cuz I have a hks bov and a axle back exhaust. I still wanna be able to hear the bov
Redline 100%. Better IAT’s overall and the look is 👌🏻
I ordered my stage 1 Cobb intake. So I could run the stage 1 map even though I have a hks bov and the muffle deletes.
what do you think about process west intake? they have loud induction ive heard
Never tried it. The most preferred intake for most tuners is the Cobb sf. Most consistent readings and actually can provide gains. I’m sure this redline will be a favorite of the tuners due to the lower IAT’s.
Scoobyfreak86 oh sweet as dude it definitely looks amazing your new intake 😍
