Cobb SRI

[mikespeed3]

So i just ordered a Cobble SRI from SU and got an e-mail saying that it was on a worldwide back order.... and that it would take about 8 weeks for it to get to me....

i am a little put off on this, but i guess this means i will be doing my build when winter is upon us here in Canada, so next summer i will be faster and meaner then when i put her away for winter...

Now the question.

any problems with the SRI? how about running the SRI with any products, does it get in the way of a FMIC or anything else?

Cheers

Nope you're fine.

cobb sri is worth the wait man i payed 220 for a used one because it was in such demand and i really wanted one.

I'll 2nd this.

I thought it would be worth the wait, too, until they told me yesterday that it would probably be christmas time before I got it. (I ordered mine from SU on July 7)

Oh well

I Was Going To Buy Sr I, But After They Told Me Its Gonna Take Over 8 Weeks, I Was Like Fuck No, I Aint Got No Time To Wait So I Ended Up Getting My Injen Cai, Eventhough Sri Are Cheaper And Easier To Install, But Hey Cai Are Faster It Gains Over 30 Hp, I Beated My Friends Ms3 By 2 Cars...., Hes Got The Sri..........guess What......try To Find A Way To Gain 10-15hp With Just $75 Extra. So Whats The Deal..?? Cobb Sri Or Injen Cai...???!!!

That's odd, I'm raced several other MS3 with CAI's and have never been beaten.

Cobb SRI is worth the wait.

The system does that because he's got his Caps Lock key on. If it didn't we would be reading that all in capital letters.

[PCspeed3]

i live 30 miles from Cobb HQ and they said they would give me a call when they saw the new batch arrive. I will update if i hear anything.

[intak3_bLkMs3]

uh 30 whp out of injen cai ur crazy they dont even post that when there advertising it.. i think ur smoking crack my buddy as the aem cai and i actually pull on him but i think his bpv leaks a little bit but still dude injen cai does not give u 30whp

[08cosmic3]

I'm glad i got mine when I did. It was just before they disappeared of the planet.

they show 26whp, fairly close to 30.

[714ms3]

Probably. It also makes it hard as hell to read, so I just gave up.

On topic... that is a really long wait. I feel like I am going to be forced to run the HKS setup. Shitty that it costs 100 more than the cobb, and the filter is not as good (apparently).

[intak3_bLkMs3]

there is no way the injen cai gives u 26 whp lol or 30 did they show that in a video yeah thats gotta be true... or did u yourself did it on the same dyno same day same temp same humidity? im assuming not. i pull on my buddy with an aem cai cold air, sri no difference its a turbo'd car

[ChrisK]

they show 26whp, fairly close to 30.

don't believe that at all. Of course the manufacturer is going to tell you that

[mikespeed3]

thanks for the input guys! im just going to wait for it :)

[eg6motion]

don't believe that at all. Of course the manufacturer is going to tell you that
Well, my local ms3 club has dyno'd similar numbers....and its right in line with most other vehicles....CAI produces roughly 7-10% power increase on turbo cars, which is about 20-26hp. Cobb dyno's at around 15whp, so your saying we shouldn't believe that either? Guess all these parts are just BS

[MS3 GT]

CAI are better than the SRI...............dont need to say more..............

No 15 is about right. As well as a real dyno like CP-E, shows a 16hp increase. So you're telling me that an intake with the incorrect maf housing, no air flow straightener gets almost double? sorry but I HIGHLY doubt it.

[ChrisK]

might get 29 with a cat-back (maybe), downpipe-back and yes I can see 30-35.

And yeah I posted a dyno from a manufacturer, but other people have proven the 15 or 16 hp. I just don't like to see mis-information being spread, the internet is already full of it.

Different DYNO's!!! Cobb does their test on a F'n MUSTANG DYNO@ ELEVATION Of course it's going to read lower.

[CoolWhip]

Cobb SRI + Custom Cold Air Box. AutoExe Bumper :o

[phillyb]

man, do i love my mscai...
man, do i love that i didn't have to wait months...
aside from aem and cobb, which other intakes have an air straightener?
and which have the correct maf housing?

i did not post this at 5:00 AM, that was weird...i just posted this now at 1030

oh great, i can make posts in the past

its measuring the difference between baseline and after the part is installed, has little to do with the amount of peak hp...aka, doesn't matter what dyno. You measure the difference between runs. And the only reason AEM/Mazdaspeed/Injen CAI's have made such power is because they don't run the stock MAF size (injen does actually). This causes the engine to run slightly leaner (mechanical tuning) and creates additional power. The CP-E CAI, which has both correct MAF size and air-straightener actually runs RICHER than stock, hence the lower hp readings from their CAI as opposed to other CAI's. They even posted that information on their site and several other forums. It was not AEM or Injens intention to make the car run a bit leaner, its just a result of not using an air-straightener like stock. Its a never ending debate and at the end of the day people should choose what they want. The Cobb is the way to go for price and ease of install-removal, if you can get one. Otherwise Injen isn't much more followed by AEM. And if anyone who's whining about it has ever done dyno tuning, you should know that your ASS is a horrible measure of power and can easily be fooled, so stop making claims unless you too have your own dyno sheets to prove things. And BTW, I am higher in elev than Cobb and our local club HAS dyno'd CAI's and shown larger gains than the Cobb SRI, but its still a great intake and a good choice. I would have bought one had they been in stock.

CP-E runs richer than stock, AEM and INJEN run leaner than stock. CP-E provides this information on their site. Thats why its recommended to not use other CAI's because additional mods can easily cause fuel cuts. So yes, buying the CP-E for near identical power of the Cobb is probably not a good idea as people claim the Cobb makes the same power.... at half the price

Man, do I love that bad MAF housing :O

[dkswim]

yeah cai vs sri

[Kain]

I pass this along because I too was once in line for the next batch of COBB SRIs:

The new official word:
The first sample did not work. We are now quoting “Winter” as a time frame for the intake housings. Since we have been passing on the word we have been getting, and it has not come to fruition, we are now just going to give another broad time frame that is way beyond what we are being told.

[mr_mazda329]

Aww MAN!!! Come on CP-E with your short ram...lol

[714ms3]

Looks like it's about time to order the HKS eh Kain?

[AutoEuphoria]

I just hope that they're actually WORKING on this, and not just putting it on the back burner while they crank out new products for the GTR.

[Kain]

Looks like it's about time to order the HKS eh Kain?
No thanks. I'm loving my CP-E CAI just fine. :)

[Frisco speed3]

HKS intakes are going on backorder now.

[mikespeed3]

man, do i love my mscai...

man do i love not having an intake that had a recall... hehe sorry i had to :P

[souper]

Protegegarage just dropped their price on the HKS to $255

You gotta be kidding!

[AutoEuphoria]

You gotta be kidding!


I know. I seriously think they've put this on the back burner so they can develop parts for other cars. It's ridiculous to think that a piece of plastic can push this back so far.

However, they did say that there were issues with the quality, and I'd still rather wait and have the thing be as close to perfect as can be than to have it now and be a piece of crap (which is why I'm not buying a used one).

[AutoEuphoria]

Bumping this...anyone heard any more updates, or is the delivery date now in Summer of '09? :rolleyes:

[Speed3Rookie]

Man...the cp-e nano will be out in a week. I'd get that in a heartbeat.
If anyone wants my COBB SRI I'd be willing to trade for the cp-e SRI.
