WTB or trade for stock intake

Looking for a stock intake for my 06 wrx. I have a Cobb intake on it now that I would trade for a stock intake. Lmk what ya have.

 

I would buy a stock intake too. As long as all of the parts are there.

 

I have the stock intake from my 02. I think they are the same right?

 

I think so. How much ya looking to get for it?

 

Would you want to trade? I could ship mine first as I have 4 cars so the WRX can sit for a few days (assuming you would want to ship since I live in se mn like 5 hours away)

 

or do you want me to be the middle man again

 

Well you're coming down here on thurs and going back on Fri so if thakrazymule wants to do that it would expedite the process ha I just didn't know if you were from that area since I have you running all over northern mn to pick **** up for me haha

 

well he is just about an hour north of where my home is but its whatever i get to meet new people its cool. but its fine if you want to ship it prob be easier but thats just me

 

On a side note; this is your friendly reminder to not leave the strut bars at your house when you come down for thanksgiving Do I need to remind you tomorrow morning again haha or when are you leaving

 

I am still not 100% sure I want to trade. I might just want to buy one for now. My issue is the car came with the cobb intake, and it has a slight hesitation, not sure if its tuned, and wanna see if putting a stock intake on fixes the problem. If it does, I'll trade, if it doesn't, I kinda like the noise the Cobb makes. Haha. So that being said, would you wanna sell? If so, how much? Other wise I'll just trade ya, and hope I get the hesitation issue resolved by putting the stock intake on.

 

How about I send my intake up with jles when he goes back up after thanksgiving then you guys can throw it on your car and if it solves it we could trade otherwise just send the stock intake back with jles? If he's up for that, that is? What else did the car come with? A good indicator if it was modified then returned to stock is a missing heat shield over your downpipe as they are a huge pain to put back on so when returning cars to stock a lot of people just leave it off. Also if you've had to take your battery out and it was tuned, I think the ecu resets itself back to stock but i'm not 100% sure on that. I know with my accessport after I take the battery out I have to reflash it not sure if its the same with a protune.

 

That could work. But I don't want to have to worry about jles schedule. You could just mail it. If it fixes my problem, I'll send you the Cobb, if not I could just send you the stock one back? Would that be ok?

 

And I don't seem to notice another sign of things bein modded. I think the Cobb was put on because the passenger side had been involved in a wreck, and that fender has been replaced. My assumption is the oem intake got busted and that who ever wrecked it, found it cheaper to put an aftermarket intake on vs buying a new OEM one.

 

I don't think that's true of an Opensource tune.

 

nah I'll put them in my car as soon as I get home. But like i said its prob easier to send it via mail

 

yeah probably is, i'll check with the post office on monday to see how much they want to ship it, shouldn't be too bad I wouldn't imagine as its not overly huge and its pretty light

 

Alright, let me know what they say. I'd guess $10-$20. So how much would you sell it for if I just wanted to buy it?

 

Don't know if i could just sell out cause i need some sort of an intake lol

 

I understand. Hears my situation; I want to first fix the slight hesitation I'm getting, and drive the car around for awhile. When I start modding, I like this intake, and not sure if I'm gonna want to buy another when the times comes that I am gonna need one. Wish I knew some peeps that lived closer so I could see if the intake is even the cause of my problem. I'm guessing its not, but I wanted to eliminate all question that it could be, before I start going crazy, and start paying ridiculous prices for a driveability tech to figure it out.

 

Yeah I'd love to help you out but its like a 5hr driver, I'm sure there's gotta be a bunch of people up there with an 02-07 WRX that'd be willing to let you use their intake for a few hours to diagnose the issue

 

Someone can chime in if I'm wrong here, but I'm pretty sure the stock intake isn't really a restriction for basic power mods (up through stage II?).

 

I have an 2002 wrx with my stock intake in a box in my garage. Let me know if interested.

 

Pm sent

 

Intake purchased from AWD-ALL THE WAY. Good seller. Met up with me close to home to avoid shipping. Thanks Brent, or was it Brett?

 

Keep us posted as to if it solved your issue.

 

I will. Should be able to get around to putting it on tomorrow. Trying to decide if I want to put the big silencer piece in the fender on or not. Any input or suggestions on that?

 

Silencer does nothing...it's made to make the spool noise (same one you hear with the aftermarket intake) quieter. If anything its a restirction...I'm sure someone on here could break it down to a science but the noise obviously by the name of silencer haha is all it does.

 

I was gonna clan the MAF tomorrow when I put the stock box back on. Then if the hesitation I've noticed goes away, I plan on having a tune done. Probably gonna leave the stock intake on. The Cobb intake just seems like all it does is make noise, and draw in hotter air.

 

I would keep stock intake and wait til you save up for at least a turbo back exhaust, the downpipe and tune makes the WRX. make sure to invest in a quality dp. I personally suggest invidia divorced wastegate as it worked/is working awesome for me. For now if you want a little extra power and are running stock just unhook your negative battery cable for 30 sec, put it back on, and drive like you're racing for a few miles so the ECU learning will be more aggressive rather than conservative. Also, for the catback section make sure to do your homework on each system to find one that suits what you want. I have the HKS Hi-Power and holy hell is this thing loud and at times annoying on road trips (they make an 85mm silencer for them though but i'm too cheap to buy one)

 

It's Brent and it was nice to meet you and I am glad to help. Hope it works great for you!

 

I have a stock ome intake that come's off of my 07 wrx sti i would trade you if you want to?

 

Thanks, but I picked up a stock one yesterday, kinda thinking I should keep the Cobb for when I start doin mods that actually make a difference besides noise, then put it back on.

 

Stock installed


Seems alot smoother, but I also noticed the MAF was pretty dirty, so I cleaned it. So who knows which one helped fix the hesitation.

 

From Tue research I've done, I didn't see much gain with the Cobb SF besides noise. And seemed like it would suck more hot air in. So I didn't see the point of it bein on there.

 

Your engine bay is like a virgin just waiting to get touched for the very first time...then she's going to become a mod slut and want bigger and better parts...

 

Haha. No doubt! Plan on getting a "stage 1" tune done soon. Figure that should hold me over till I start getting some high mileage and its time for a rebuild. Then things will get carazay! Just finished getting new plugs in, a timing belt, with idler pulley and tensioner. New tranny and diff fluid. De badged the trunk. And a fresh oil change. So now she's just ready to tune, and drive the crap out of it for a while. The slutting will begin down the road. Lol

 

That looks like a very nice Intake someone sold to you! haha hope you like it.

 

For sure, the seller did indeed sell me an intake that was in perfect shape. Haha. Thanks again Brent. My car couldn't be more stock now. Besides the tinted windows. And the Cobb shift knob that came on it. Which everyone knows that's like a 15 HP increase. Lol
