Nicely quiet, which is what I wanted to achieve.
Didn't really want the intake chuffing and chirping like a Group B rally car myself..but I can really understand the pull of the loud intakes but wanted mine to be a bit more stealthy.
Just me being boring probably..

PDT on here did some sort of Dbilias/pipercross hybrid intake which was a vast improvement over the stock dbilias and performed as well as the twintake.

Which intake offers, quiet good performance and fits without any damage in the engine bay ?
I'm guessing not very many !

....Carbonio plus an aftermarket flat panel in the oem engine cover box. But the performance gains are very minimal. On back-to-back same day dyno runs my Forge Twintake gained 15.5 bhp over my Carbonio. It depends what you want for your car: eye-candy or performance or both.
When you say "damage" I assume you mean without modification - None of the intake offerings from the established manufacturers do damage.

Unless you take off the engine cover you won't get a very good air intake.The carbonio is a cosmetic intake imo.
Forge,ATG, BS,DBilas all make intakes that a lot of people on here use.
I have the Forge twintake, and love it, not much modding needed either, just need to remove the cover and then fit the bits in the spaces available.

....Fundamentally yes - The Carbonio merely makes the initial airflow more efficient and is cool carbon eye-candy. It's the panel filter itself which might help more but that still doesn't deliver heart-stopping performance. I ran an ITG panel filter with my Carbonio and might have gained 3 or 4 bhp and a miniscule bit of torque or throttle response - Who knows!?
The Forge Twintake ticks all the boxes for me too, Al :happy2: - Just right in every respect.
