Literally the best RUclips video I've seen in my ENTIRE life!!!
Excellent video - great attention to detail, and very thorough!! It helped a lot when I installed my redline -- thanks!!
Thank you. Glad it helped!
Best video for this I've seen. I couldn't figure out where the flange nuts went, and the Cobb instructions say it should only have 1 with it. I emailed Cobb about it, and they said the included flange nut went on the lower framerail bracket, and to reuse the upper nuts. It makes much more sense to clean up the appearance with the supplied hardware rather than reuse the factory nuts. I sent screenshots of their instructions for them to clear it up, but they were sure it was for the lower bracket and are going to check the shop car to see where it (or they) go. Good on Cobb, but I wish the instructions were more clear. I hope after feedback they might update the instructions for clarity.
Either way, fantastic install video. Every thing was very easy to see and you explained it well. Thank you!
Thank you. I don't see the need for the flanged nuts to be not seen when they looked better. My way looks more a esthetically pleasing this way. And I haven't had any nuts come loose.
Good on you to contact Cobb.
Wow this intake looks incredible and so clean installed!
It's a fantastic intake. So easy to remove for maintenance too. Less than 1 minute with tools ready, and it's out.
Just ordered mine can't wait 🤗 love this video!!!
It's a fantastic Intake so far. I've noticed slightly lower intake temps at 65mph than my old Original SF Intake. That is with the block off plate left off. Next week I'm going to run it with the plate on and make a video shortly after going over what I've experienced so far.
You won't be disappointed. But expect a possible delay since everyone is backlogged currently waiting for thiers prior to you.
Excellent install video man. Was going to do one myself, but I’ve nothing left to say that you didn’t already cover. When I post my intake comparison video I’m going to link them to your install video for this intake.
Stay after it man
I appreciate the kind words.
Just wanted to say thanks for the knowledge share. To me, installing the mounting nubs was the most intimidating part. Thanks to your video, I did this in 5 minutes which included dropping pieces into the front bumper. Make sure you have a nice grabber tool!
I'm glad it helped you.
Killer install video... You deserve to have way more subscribers! Cheers...
Thank you kindly. I appreciate the kind words.
@@Mikey6048 Happy New Year!
@@leftinashes I hope this next year goes well for you.
Update Tuesday November 24th, 2020. I tried to get sound clips for a separate video. But you can't hear anything over my exhaust. I tried under the hood with the microphone and it's drowned out.
I won't be making a follow up video as the difference between the Original SF Intake and this are negligible.
Original SF Intake temp at 65mph cruise - 5-7 degrees over Ambient at MAF.
Redline SF Intake temp at 65mph cruise - 3-5 degrees over Ambient at MAF.
The Redline series does run ever so cooler. The block off plate makes zero difference in temperature. But it does completely remove all intake noise. With the block off plate installed it sounds stock. I recommend leaving it off.
Also the intake features a drain hole, not previously mentioned, in the lower portion under the filter. So don't worry about getting water into the snorkel.
Bro the Subi is looking killer!!!
Thanks Boss. I have big plans with the Subi being affected big time, hopefully coming down the pipe.
The old masking tape on the bolt head trick 🤣 ! That's pretty slick. Maxwell Smart Agent 86 with CONTROL in Get Smart I believe was familiar and used this same slick trick 🤣 🤣.
It works. I use it all the time. Lol
EXCELLENT!!
Outstanding.
Looking good brother.
Thank you. I am in love with this new intake.
the detail and care in this vid made me subscribe. keep up the good work
do you have an IG that we can follow for car content?
Thank you very much. I am very OCD and detail oriented. I try to make my videos how I wish others would regarding information and details needed before and after making a purchase. And I try to be clear and not confusing.
I have zero social media accounts. I don't have the time or want to utilize them, sorry.
Did you ended up needing a new tune? Thanks for the video btw very informative and well put together
No. My protune was perfect with it. If going from stock you will need a tune.
Nice video step by step how to install. My question is once installed I have to get it tuned can drive it to the tune shop is it going to throw anything off on the computer my car is stock thank you.
Must be tuned right away. Typically with a Cobb map (Using a Accessport). Or have your tuner do a protune.
It's pure looks. It uses the exact same MAF s scaling as the regular version.
It looks fantastic, but its no better then the regular Cobb intake.
That said, I'd rock it if I didn't already have the intake.
Absolutely true.
Amazing video, thank you!
Did you end up making the comparison video w/ and w/o the silencer cap?
No, check my main comment for details
@@Mikey6048 Really detailed and explanatory. Thank you! Sorry, I missed it since it was down in the comments.
@@pj_hack No worries. Glad you enjoyed the video.
What are this lines that run to the back? Mine doesn’t have anything there. Just an uncouple plastic 45 degree conector with nothin on it
Are you talking about the two big lines hooked to the inlet pipe to the turbo?
@@Mikey6048 the one that goes next to those 2.
@@MrHdradeon Without pointing it out I don't know what one you are talking about. But that's an aftermarket Cobb inlet. The connections are basically the same except moved around to different places. It's irrelevant to the intake installed.
I unfortunately don't own this vehicle any more so I can't go look at it to confirm.
But if I remember correctly. 1 line is for the fuel purge valve. 1 is for the boost solenoid, and another is for some emissions system. Not exactly sure.
Would you say the Cobb short ram intake is louder than this? Any idea?
If you are referring to the original SF Intake.
No. Both sound pretty much the same. I couldn't tell a difference.
Only downside is it weighs about 1lb heavier than the stock intake… it’s kinda pricy too but for the aesthetics we will find ways to justify it… haha
Have you had any issues with the snorkel lifting up from the two rubber garments in the front?
No. The snorkel is essentially pinned down by the hood rubber seal. And the grommets are very stiff. It takes a bit of force to pull the snorkel off of them.
The only problem I've had is with the service of the air filter and how much more difficult it is than it has to be
I mean no offense just trying to clarify for those who clicked on this video expecting something different like me. The title is a little misleading as this is not a Cobb SF intake but a Cobb Redline intake. For some reason the title combines the two names? Two different intakes, two different installation processes. Hope this clears it up for the next guy who comes along.
I'll change the title. When Cobb released this intake, it was called the SF Redline because it shares the same tune and filter/tube design. They must have removed the SF.
@@Mikey6048 ❤️ thanks for not being a jerk about it. Have a great holiday, man.
@@sumaru1383 I'm a pretty chill dude. 🤙
Thanks you too. I just finished detailing and waxing the GT-R to relax.
From Cobb what tune do you use for it if not protune? The same tune as the sf which would be the stage 1+ or is there a specific tune for the redline?
If using a Cobb OTS map. It's the exact same one as the SF Tune. There is no difference in the intakes except for the appearance. Cobb designed the two intake systems to be interchangeable with the same MAP.
@@Mikey6048 thanks i just read up on it on cobbs site. I have the sf intake and was curious. How does the redline compare sound wise to the redline?
@@ezimm81 It's actually slightly less induction noise than the SF. I definitely recommend not installing the teardrop side plate. With the plate on it sounds quieter than stock.
@@Mikey6048 quieter really? How about the bpv sound is it louder the same or whatnot? Thank you for the quick reply
@@ezimm81 Yea, I was really confused with the plate on. Because the Carbon Fiber intake is almost like the factory setup, it seems to dull intake noise with the plate on. BPV noise is almost like stock too (Plate on).
The BPV noise with the plate off is unchanged versus the SF kit. I ran the Cobb BPV.
Overall besides slightly less noise, and mean slightly, the difference between the SF and Redline kits are appearances.
With the Redline kit. IAT were 1-2 degrees lower than the SF at highway speeds. Nothing huge but lower is lower.
What map are you running?
I don't have the car anymore, but at the filming of this video it was a Protune.
This should fit a wrx right?
Unfortunately no. The WRX has a completely different motor than a WRX STI.
Most everything on my car is Cobb. That's why I'm quite disappointed in the red line intake that I purchased. It's a beautiful piece of work, but servicing the filter is a pain in the butt. This is one where Cobb missed the mark
I would agree servicing would be more of a pain. But the intake comes out pretty easy to get to. It's just a little more work than most. Thank you for watching.
@@Mikey6048 it's just the additional work that's not necessary and the required exposure of engine sensors to do the service. That's the real problem. The product is beautiful. The functionality is great. Just this one service thing that used to be addressed in future generations of this product
You ever get your car straight?
It's still making that squeeking noise. I'm waiting for a time slot at my Tuner to check my uppipe to wastegate V Band connection. I believe it's leaking exhaust from there.
During the install. The factory ceramic coating was preventing it from installing correctly. So the tuner had to "Tweak" the coating to get it to seat.
It seems a leak has occurred and it has gotten so bad it makes a horrendous chatter at idle.
Also stay tuned for some coming videos. I just ordered new tail lights.
I have God Tier rims on special order from Japan. They won't be here for about 4-6 months.
Also I'll be upgrading to Slotted rotors and a full brake job in the next month or so.
I have a lot of plans this year for the Subi. It just takes finding the cash.
Side note. I'm looking into possibly buying a GT-R in the future and might be adding that to the channel. That's all depending on things happening in my life that I don't have much faith in coming true. But it's still on the table.
@@Mikey6048 Well hopefully the leaking exhaust can be resolved with a dremel and a wire brush attachment in short order. I hear yeah on things you wanna get done but it's always the cash part lol.
Well used GTR's aren't hard to find which is good but like you said once again cash lol. If I was going to get another performance car it would be a GTR but being a 2 seater it would be pretty useless for me aside from just me driving it to drive a GTR lol. Least with the STI it's got 4 doors it is still be a family car, that unsuspectingly crushes stock with catback only charger and challenger drivers ego's with a quickness lol.
My STI build is done, it was tuned on the 17th and it's nice now that it's finished. Been working through small issues and part failures during the break in period and right now my fuel level sensor has taken a shit so awaiting a new one of those to show up and then swap it out. But it's like I told the folks at the shop who built my car, it's the only one built like this so it's always going to be a research and development process. But at the same time the guys at the shop have been able to identify the issue and come up with a solution and begin to implement it literally in minutes and as someone that has a maintenance background that is extremely impressive and just shows the experience and knowledge base had to be able to do that.
I'll have to talk about the turbo alone in a video and maybe have my builder talk about it also since he knows way more than I do about explaining what the dynograph says, and how the entire build worked out, and then it's not a owner opinion it's a legit shop opinion.
If you wanna check out a pull clip go here, this is on the shop's FB page I'll post it, video with a brief list of what went into it, and then the dynograph in the comments.

@@Pittimus84 I'll definitely check it out. I'm excited about your build. I love my Subi for the exact reasons you mentioned. And the GTR I feel the same.
