RR Racing New Carbon Intake First Impressions
Club,
Today I received and installed the new RR Racing Carbon Intake System. It replaced my Takeda cold air intake. My first impression is that acceleration is even smoother than before. I didn't feel any power gain. I also noticed that my engine bay is significantly quieter. Do y'all think my tune file needs updating?

Hi.... when you reprogram the ECU, the long term knock correction learning falls to a low default value, and you need to drive the car to get the ignition timing and power back up.
The most effective way to get the igntion learning up is by doing long pulls in 4th or better 5th gear, from 2000 - 5500rpm.
Additionally, in super hot humid weather, it is hard to realize all the gains from the tune or the intake. It is very difficult to keep the ECU from retarding timing under such hot/humid temps. So most of the gains you will realize once the temps cool down a bit.

What's the difference between this and the Fsport intake, and will it help with low-end torque? Also, what's that little filter it comes with? Currently am stock and looking to upgrade.

Did you replace the stock air filter? My intake came yesterday and one of the steps was to cut out a section of the netting on the underside of the airbox. I have no problem with this but my current air filter is the AFE power magnum flow DRY filter. I am worried that if I drive in the rain the filter might get wet or am I just being overly cautious?

How can a turbo noise be to loud? I did everything to my Ecoboost just so I can enjoy the sound of them spooling up and blowing off....

I'm looking to buy an intake I've been leaning towards the Takeda, just seeing how you would compare since you've had it on for a few weeks,.

The Takeda is louder and more aggressive sounding. It easily overwhelms my exhaust note. Initially, the rr racing tube was dead quite. Now, my engine bay is starting to louden up a bit after two weeks of use.

Please let me know if the tube is producing a deeper tone. I currently have the F sport tube install and the RR Racing tube hanging around. If the RR Racing tube produce a deeper tone i will give it a shot/install. Thanks.

I have had mine installed for the last month. I can't really tell a difference in sound myself. This is with the RR tube and AFE dry filter.
