The sound of the evoms is starting to get annoying. The only time I like it is at full throttle, The rest of the time it just sounds crap.
Do you guys think I will lose much power removing my evoms intake and putting the standard air box back on with a aftermarket panel filter.
I have edition 30 with a stage 1 map
The car made 286bhp on the rollers @ JKM.
Thanks andy.

You will lose some hp but gain a little more low end torque if you go back to the oem air box.

Andy, agree with bacillus.
To minimize that small loss of power even more I'd recommend to remove the lip inside the small box behind the grill.
Remove the cover/cap and you'll see what I mean.

Before this most of the air went into the engine bay.
BTW, I'd go for an OE paper filter.

Very handy post. Was just considering a EVOMs intake. Need to look elsewhere. Thanks

The tolerance level of the intake noise is all down to personal preference though I think, you have to expect an increase in noise from any induction kit. I quite enjoyed the chatter from my Evoms, the Twintake made a lot more whooshing though.:happy2:

Bruce what did you use to smooth it? I presume it needed plastic welding?
-
The removal and smoothing of that lip will make approximately 0.000000000% power increase! :P

The evoms sounds fine!!! Man up :signLOL:

Just got into a friends car who has a EVOMs intake and i can see why you like the noise. I think it sounds great. If u had to recommend one which would it be? My choices are between the EVOM and the Twintake. Opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Evoms for goes.... Forge for shows. :signLOL:

If you've got a GTI (non Ed30/ Pirelli) then either of the two should work great, I know the Twintake made good gains on my bf's GTI but it was rubbish on my Ed30...

But it's ok on mine though :drinking:
:signLOL:
-
Are both of these intakes similar in price? Im considering an intake just struggling to decide on which one?
-
The evoms is cheaper than the Twintake and makes bigger gains. :smiley:

I thought I read the gains were as close as even (depending on setup)?
-
As Hurdy said, Evoms! Ive had both and the Evoms makes the car feel more 'free', certainly at top end!!
-
Trying to get the Evoms but out of stock :(
