[bova80]

So i installed a ms3 cobb intake like many others are about to do and figured i'd show it off a bit.

No fitment issues or anything? And does it trip a CEL? I've been hoping for a Short Ram MS6 intake from them for a while.

[bova80]

only thing that doesn't work is the bracket so its kind of just hanging there but it seems pretty sturdy. i am going to figure out a way to get it to work.

I'm right behind you with this mod.

That filter looks tiny though. But, I guess its not the size that counts.

bova you do know that you need to take off that stcok intake tray right?

[bova80]

i took it out don't worry. one thing i did manage to make a mistake and do was crack a piece a plastic on the maf sensor. i dont think its a big deal cause i am not getting a cel so nothing happened to the sensor, just broke a piece off next to the iat bulb. this isn't a picture of mine but the part in red is what broke off.

really don't think it would have hurt to leave it in but its out

Cobb is also making a Speed6 specific one with a bigger filter and a working bracket

[bova80]

well then perhaps then i'll sell this to a speed3er and get that if the price is similiar.

[Parad0x01]

Yeah, i just read about the MS6 one last night. Seems like it'll be out within a few months.

Bigger filter? Great, that was the big beef I had with this intake, the filter looked wimpy whenever I saw one on a MS3.

[bova80]

here is how i made the bracket work, sure it doesn't look good but hey it keeps the intake from floppin around.

Looks good. I thought about getting one, they I heard they were working on a speed6 one since it wasn't going to be that different.

[bova80]

i just read that they fabbed up the new bracket and will be sending it out to get made and the only other difference is a larger filter.

End of February? Sweet I'm in.

[Igve2shtz]

Sweeet. Hopefully alot of people buy this Cobb intake, and they rethink the Accessport for the MS6!!!

[snooky]

if its out b4 the spring im gonna sell my Fujita CAI. im sure the gains cant be that much of a diff.... plus i woulndt be crazy everytime it rains / snows here !

the filter isn't really that small, its the same size as the ones that are on the other intake kits. it might just look small since it doesn't extend as far with all that open space. i doubt a filter that is slightly bigger is going to provide you with any gains.

some people say this fixws the problem of fuel cut? how is that please explain!

[bova80]

maybe because of the air straighteners. but i think it fixed the one guys fuel cut because he was running to big an maf housing on his custom intake. i am selling my cobb intake shortly cause i got a corksport fmic kit. so if anyone wants it let me know. only has like 100 miles on it, so won't be going for much less than new.

[DanSpeed6]

I want this intake so bad :)

You said that it should be on sale by the end of febuary ?

[Parad0x01]

End of February was an estimate from the Cobb guy. So sometime this spring, I'll be waiting to grab one, thats for sure.
