Panel filter vs CAI

(1/3) > >>

webby888:
Iv recently fitted a K+N intake and sometimes under load it makes a loud high pitched noise, iv read up on here that a few intakes do this, however i find it realy annoying and im thinking of changing to a unrated panel filter, will i notice a drop in performance or is the any other intakes that dont make this noise?

Its for a K03 GTI

Thanks!

a lot of intakes make this noise on TFSI and TSI engines. its a pain in the arse

bacillus:
The stock fsi intake box hides a myriad of strange noises that show up with a cai.

mkviken:
VWR/ITG are going to try and figure out if there is a way to reduce the noise but if not I'm going to sell it as i didn't want a lot of intake noise. the power is better but I want to keep the car quiet if possible

If you move the DV to the front like in a K04 people say the noise disappears.  The noise of the intake is what made me switch back to the engine cover.  I just have the noise of my BCS to enjoy now :evilgrin:
