Hi Josh Barnett, if u block/seal off the oem lower air box hole where u removed the section regard compressing sonic sound 2:45 with rubber or gaffer tape, make sure its completely closed - All the cold air from external will push directly into your cai filter which gives your engine more hp+mpg+throttle about 5% increase u will notice the different straight away. Looking forward to your feedback.
Yeah, I just installed this part today and you don't reinstall the resonator chamber when attaching the AEM intake to the inlet snorkel. I sealed it up with some black duct tape. Leaving it attached by just those 2 plastic insert tabs is not safe or part of the installation instructions. Jason
@Brian Keith It will not stay attached and become loose in your engine bay. There are two push clips that mount it in place on the stock intake that are not utilized by the AEM intake.
Did this to my 6. Had to cut tha maf but also the crank case vent tube that goes into the intake refused to secure properly. I ended up having to fabricate my own thing out of rubber tubing to keep it in securely. That was about a 2 and a half hour ordeal. Either way great video helped me make sure I was doing everything correct. My exhaust is still to loud tho and even after doing this I can’t hear intake noise lol.
Zero power increase just a little bit more intake noise and a small throttle response improvement. That is all these do. I’ve installed different types of cold air intakes on different cars I’ve owned and they just improve throttle response slightly. No power increase. In fact if I dynoed my car I’m sure it probably lost a horsepower or two. Never owned a turbo car so idk about that.
Hey Josh. If you like a little more "get up and go" on take off may I suggest the idrive throttle device. I put on in my car and made my own cool air intake and man did it make a difference.
@@joshbarnett7153 I got it from the actual idrive website but im in Australia and the web page is easier than the usa vers. there is also another brand hiket that are pretty much a competitor and same product. www.hikeitusa.com/product/hikeit-x9/?manufacturer=mazda&model=mazda-6&engine=all-engines&m_year=2014-onwards&device_id=HI-226
This is a short ram intake, it is better than the OEM as it uses the OEM intake to the engine bay right to the filter, which is also larger than the stock air filter which brings in more air and doesn't have the carbon secondary filter which is built into the stock airbox (most people don't even know about this). If you're driving at highway speeds you won't worry about heat soak like Brandon suggests, so this is an upgrade. If you want a cold air intake, the only one on the Market is made by Injen, putting the filter outside of the engine bay.
Hi Josh. How is your car running, do you feel the HP gain or see the slightly better fuel efficiency? I installed the same thing onto my 2017 Mazda6. Does your breather hose fit in properly? Mine is a little loose, not enough to fall out but enough to get me worried. Thanks for this very detailed video! I used this as a guide while installing mine!
My car runs good, very lightly power gain, didn't really notice a change in mpg, the sound the intake makes is pretty noticeable and I like it. Yeah the hose is a little loose but haven't had any issues. Thanks for watching!
Josh we took our 6 in to the dealership for little things and they put me in a 6 with a Turbo it does get up and go but I think Mazda needs to work on turbo lag.
I haven't drive the new 6 yet. I know corksport.com is working on a turbo for the 2014-2017 models with an estimate hp of 280-300, not sure how much it would cost.
I own a 2014 Mazda 6 sport. I would like to know that, Is there any downside on installing a cold air intake system. Also is this advisable to install in a hot climate region. Thanks for the detail video.
These intakes suck more dirt into the engine. Less gas milage, maybe less hp too, fouled plugs, etc. Dont do it. Mazda does NOT dwtune thier cars and maybe fudge down,hp for better insurance rates. Just enjoy your car as it is and mod something else.
@@joshbarnett7153 Yeah I was just wondering because newer cars nowedays don't really need aftermarket intakes because they are designed to run at peak performance from the factory. Majority of the time it's just a ploy to sell you a product. I think some people said their MPGs actually went down a little because of this intake setup.
@@joshbarnett7153 That's another thing to is that lost aftermarket exhausts have bigger piping diameters. You'll end up losing back pressure which is needed for that low range power to get the car going without extra effort. You'll end up pushing the power band towards the top so you'll end up gassing the car more to get up to speed. I've seen this with so many exhaust systems with 4 cyl. For V6s and V8s, sometimes the bigger exhausts can help but they too can suffer from low end torque loss.

@@SlowCarsFastSFV Just curious, when you say it's not safe can you specify why?
@Brian Keith It will not stay attached and become loose in your engine bay. There are two push clips that mount it in place on the stock intake that are not utilized by the AEM intake.
Does it make a difference in the sound when keeping that bottom chamber out?

Love the videos made me switch my LEDs, and made me clean my engine bay yours put mine to shame
Thomas Pretlow thanks
This is much more quiet than they typically are. Remove the bottom air box and it will sound much louder.

is the aem cone filter oiled or dry? I can’t really conclude anything from the shop...
more like a warm air intake intake filter needs to stick outside engine bay behind your front bumper so youre getting cold air and not hot air
The temp outside right now is 3 degrees, I'm pretty sure that's cold air.
Josh Barnett you are a fucking idiot, first off it’s not 3 degrees all year round, 2nd, it’s still hot in the engine bay.
This is a short ram intake, it is better than the OEM as it uses the OEM intake to the engine bay right to the filter, which is also larger than the stock air filter which brings in more air and doesn't have the carbon secondary filter which is built into the stock airbox (most people don't even know about this).

do you still have this sri installed? i just ordered mine for my 2014 mazda 6 manual.
How did it go ?

the stock intake works better than any aftermarket one. On this car, you're better off installing a catback
Latin Lover exhaust is still to come
@@joshbarnett7153 Can you make a new video of how it sounds. I would love to hear it.
Hello, where did you buy it?
Josh we took our 6 in to the dealership for little things and they put me in a 6 with a Turbo it does get up and go but I think Mazda needs to work on turbo lag.

@@joshbarnett7153 oh dang I got a 2017 and I really wanna get a turbo
Seems way better 0-60 even though your shift were at 4rpm
Hi Josh. Can you point me where to buy this intake system? Have been looking for ages and cant find the right one. Love the video
Thanks Mike! You should be able to get one on aemintakes.com or carid.com.
hi josh is what the sound changes a lot just a little and wins you in hp? is it worth it
You can hear it pretty good. Maybe slight hp
Is this with the stock exhaust?
I own a 2014 Mazda 6 sport. I would like to know that, Is there any downside on installing a cold air intake system. Also is this advisable to install in a hot climate region. Thanks for the detail video.
Jabbar Sh it’s not a cold air intake...it doesn’t suck in cold air lol
Only downside it doesn't pass the smog test so keep the old air filter with you to switch it out when doing the test

Worse fuel economy, loss of power, cylinder scoring due to bad filtering. Stick with oem unless you install a turbo.
Nice 👍🏽
That cylinder scoring is on its way. No reason to do that, hp gain would be minimal. 😂
Did any code pop up since installing your CAI?
Nope
Did you actually see any performance increase (mpg, torque, etc.) with the I take on this Mazda6?
Slightly. Better throttle response

@@xdejablu3x yeah i plan on getting exhaust to help more air to get out from more air coming in. I still get about 32mpg, everyday driver.

@@xdejablu3x back pressure is a myth.
That looks like a short Ram intake
Waaay less strain
