Title: Air Filters
Post by: mlr55 on August 06, 2009, 07:47:54 pm

Hey everyone,

I have a mk5 Golf GTI DSG and my only complaint (and its a very small one!) is that I want to 'hear' more from the engine so I was wondering which is the best induction system for the car for both sound and what little performance I would gain? Also what options do I have with the DV valve?

Any replies would be welcome, Thanks Martin :popcornsoda:

Hello mate,

I have heard the Evoms is a good system and sounds rather good indeed! I am sure Hurdy can confirm or deny this as he has one I believe.

There is also a very nice looking Forge system. I think Jonnyc has one so you could ask him what it sounds like?

I have the Carbonio and it is very quiet indeed so avoid if sound is important to you!

No doubt someone will be along soon to add to the list!

Cheers

A Warm Welcome to the forum, Martin! :drinking:

The latest Forge intake is relatively expensive but claims good results. The EVOMS is the noisiest by reputation.

Aftermarket engine mounts help transfer the subtle sound of the Carbonio - But beware the slippery slope of modding!!

Forge offer a DV but the latest VW one is supposed to be good (at last!).

HTH :happy2:
