What does a stock intake weigh? Including the filter?

Stock intake is fine with a proper free-flow filter up to around 300bhp if we're honest, though above 250bhp and perhaps with a bigger turbo you're running into trouble.
Let's all of us be honest here, the only reason we buy an intake is for the looks :evilgrin:
Computational fluid dynamics ftw, I sincerely doubt any of the aftermarket manufacturers have done much modelling work on their intake designs and it's all based on general principles :)

....And a liitle bit of extra sound (with some).

Never been a fan of aftermarket intakes as nobody has the same sort of time and money to r+d as VW. I believe that aftermarket intakes can work if given enough time and logs are done on road and dyno. Performance wise aftermarket ones should work better but vw need to look at other things when developing the filter such as engine warm up time etc.
