I'd only ever mess with the induction side on a car with a great sounding engine, those eventuri intakes sure look sexy and seem to make a big difference on some cars but I would hope so for what they cost !

Post by: pudding on February 28, 2022, 09:58:05 am: I just wasn't comfortable with how much dirt gets through foam/cotton.

OEM. The aftermarket ones don't fit as snuggly in the air box.

Post by: ald1717 on February 28, 2022, 11:37:20 am: i have another car with a k@n induction kit that uses an oiled cotton filter and that seems to do a much better job at filtering than the foam one on my gti, was thinking of swapping them over but im worried it will upset the maf readings
