Cobb tubes and...

'10Anamoly · 07-08-2010, 08:34 AM

My Cobb tubes are in, took me about 30 minutes. It's not quite as easy as it looks considering they do not flex much, but it was not a terribly hard install. They look good and with the AFE filters the car seems to pull a bit harder up top. No downsides so far for me!

Update:

After a few days of driving, it might just be that the car revs smoother but these seem a bit less torquey than the stock tubes. Not sure if the car is slower or faster really but its just what I noticed.

Anybody else notice this? I might swap the stock tubes back in and see if its any different. Only thing I can think is if the internal diameter is bigger than the car likes or something.

Did you reset your ECU after installing the filters and the tubes? If not you should reset your ECU using the Manual Method below or just unplug your battery for a few minutes and plug it back in. Battery method will reset your trip and radio setting though. But I have not been able to successfully reset the ECU using the Manual Method its not easy.

Manual Method
Here is a quick way to reset your ECU. It is also known to clear codes thrown, and turn off the "Service Engine Soon" Light. It's a little tricky, but works.

1.Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition ON switch and wait 3 seconds.
2.Repeat the following two procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds:
1.Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD).
2.Fully release the accelerator pedal.
3.Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking.
4.Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking)
5.Wait about 10 seconds.
6.Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds.
7.Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink).
8.Turn ignition switch to OFF position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone.

Yep, I reset the ECU and put a good 200 miles on it, did not like how it ran so I just put the stock tubes back on. Seems to run much better now already just cruising around. Cobbs going up for sale..

what color did you get? man i was reaaaly considering these till you said less tq...

'10Anamoly · 07-09-2010, 02:46 PM

Mine were black. Wasnt necessarily less torque, just less jumpy I guess. I like the quick kick. It seemed to pull a bit harder up top, middle was same, bottom was smoother I guess.

GZ3 · 07-09-2010, 03:07 PM

how much would you let them go for?

GTLAW · 07-12-2010, 07:59 PM

Did you try the tubes with stock OEM filter? Also I think the cobbs are for there ECU updates.I would keep them wait to get full bolt on's and then get the cobb access port.

I can't see tubes taking away from HP :_(

I just installed the Cobb tubes last night with the stock air filters since I'm waiting for K&N filters, and in my opinion I think it might be a little bit more responsive. I didn't notice any loss in power, maybe I'll be able to tell a little more after the ECU adjusts.
