Very helpful, Mike. I see the potential issue, or the potential cause of the issue. Thanks and keep us posted on how you make it on this. I have yet to decide on what I plan to do. Would like to hear from COBB Tuning on this.
I did ping Cobb on this so that they can check in - I am sure they are happy to help!
), with the holiday schedule and the inundation of emails/calls from folks wanting to take advantage of our One Sale, we dropped the ball on timely replies. I take full responsibility for that. We're running at full steam to get caught up. I'm currently having a new intake overnighted to @B16B to get him sorted and up and running. The same will be done for @02SilverSiHB.
. The Locktite will ensure those bolts stay tight and secure, keeping the MAF housing flush and attached to the post-MAF hose no matter what you throw at it.
Awesome, thank you@B16B ,
I'm incredibly sorry for the intake issue you ran into. It definitely wasn't our intent for that to happen, and we've got a fix in place for you and @02SilverSiHB (who I'll message directly after this)! As many of you know, the last thing we want is for anyone to have a part installed in their car that they aren't over-the-moon enthused about.
For transparency (since this is a public issue at this point
Speaking of each of your frustrations with your airbox, these are the only two instances of these failures occurring (that have come to my attention). We are rolling out a new iteration of the airbox (already planned) to all newly built kits that addresses these concerns:
/1/ the looseness of the security bolts on the lower plate
/2/ the MAF housing bolts loosening
For the first part, we've removed the plate entirely, and it's now uniformly carbon. There are no more plate/security bolts. Solved.
For the MAF housing bolts, we are adding in Locktite to prevent them from working their way out. In our testing at the track, daily driving, and on early development vehicles, we never encountered the issue, but as with everything, once it's in the wild under the infinite number of conditions possible, something always finds a way to rear its head
For anyone who has experienced either of the issues above, feel free to reach out to us directly, and we'll swap your box out if needed, free of charge. Here's a direct link to that contact form:

I hope this helps quell any concern, and always, we're here to help!

I got mine in yesterday, but they sent it with a new MAF housing since my bracket and bolts left the chat.
awesome that you guys took the feedback and did your best to fix it for customers right away! I’m sure it wasn’t easy making the updated ones and shipping them out as soon as possible so thank you for doing that and taking the feedback and improving the product. I will be using your intake 100% when I complete my build among your other parts. Just ordered your RMM also
Ok what am I missing? I'm looking at Cobb Stage 1 vs. Stage 1+ tunes and the only difference in the needed mods is that the Stage 1+ tune uses the Redline Intake. I thought comparing these two tunes might help add some insight into the extra power coming from an aftermarket intake. It looks to me like the Stage 1 with the stock air intake actually makes higher peak and average HP & TQ. So what is the advantage of the Redline intake exactly? It looks amazing, but can I just save $1k and stick with my stock intake? I see a lot threads on how the right aftermarket intakes will net you +10 or even +20 hp, but here is an example that refutes that. I appreciate Cobb posting the values. I sort of wonder if they mistakenly swapped the Stage 1 & Stage 1+ values on their site, but even if that is the case $1k for +5 HP is pretty steep. If I'm completely misunderstanding these tables please let me know because I feel like I have to be missing something.
Stage 1 (w/ stock intake)
Stage 1+ (w/ Cobb Redline intake)
