Intake noise

<< < (2/3) > >>

heady2010:
The chatter noise you get with the twintake is this something that would be apparent on a ko3 gti with oe diverter valve, only reason I ask is because the videos I have seen show different noise, some with extreme on off chattering to a constant intake noise( which I prefer)

Carrera2RS:
I did hear an Cone intake last night at the low show Bucks event !

Thanks DomT  :happy2:

It is noticeable, not ridiculous but noticeable. I think you'll need to go in the car to decide if you like or not.

I actually prefer the sound of normally aspirated engines so the wooshing for me I would like less of

If I wanted more power then it's no real compromise, some may prefer it over stock

I had a BSH air filter fitted and I didnt like the noise it made.  The reason is I had a K&N gen II fitted to my mk1 Focus RS (different car I know) and that sounded awesome.  :evilgrin: I went back to the OE engine cover I was that disappointed with the noise.  Perhaps other air filters sound better but it just sounded a bit weedy to me. :indifferent:

patrickcullen87:
the forge twintake sounds pretty good, heres a video that shows how good it can really sound  :grin:
&feature=related

S2 Ant:
Power gains can be up to around 20bhp with a cone filter. I measured my airflow with VAGCOM before and after fitting and was a big jump which should equate to reasonable power gains!
The noise isnt as good as i'd hoped it would be but not too bothered as its not rubbish
