GTI Forge TWINtake air intake - Review....
Ross_46:
hey thanks for the info. I do like the sound of the twintake and i have to say its a fantastic very well made system and also i have always been a fan of abit of engine/mechanical noise as it adds feel. But also as using the car as a daily driver i think its just a touch on the loud side, though having said that the new non res system i had put on at the same time sounds great. I think i'll give it to the end of the week to see if it grows on me then make my mind up then. sound proofing is anoption but like you say would be a shame to ruin the look of it. maybe even though it may not provide the best power gains maybe something abit more subtle like a carbonio or vwr filter might do the job. And if i do decide to sell i'll pop it up on the for sale section so someone can grab themselves a lets face it brand new twintake for quite abit cheaper :drinking:

Probably said earlier in this thread but intakes don't become quieter over time in my experience and I've never heard anyone else report so. It may be that as you get used to any sound your brain takes it for granted (as long as it remains as it should sound) and switches off your awareness of it. When you first introduce any mod which you can hear, you will focus very intently on every nuance. It's like a new girlfriend! :laugh: - At first you are incredibly attentive.

couldnt put it any better myself robin! :grin: along with using the right foot differently to have it quieter when i dont honestly want the noise and then plantin it and letting off when i do, my brain (if there is one) has begun to tune it out as i am used to it now and have begun to realy quite like it. it's amazing how different it sounds in cold conditions too . so to let others know i think i might hold onto it for a while now but when/if i decide to sell someone on here has already got first dibs (matsu) :happy2: but if that changes nthen it will go in the for sale section
