Received my CAI from Garagemidnight today. Super fast delivery and a quality product. If any of you lot are thinking about getting this intake, don't hesitate :happy2:
-
Any videos of the car as standard then an after with the CAI fitted?
What's the performance side of this like? Just been looking into getting a CAI that's all and many people seem to rate the likes of Revo/ITG/Evoms but they're also a canny bit pricey too except the Evoms that's okay.. That's at a more friendlier cost compare to a Revo CAI.. I know it's an all in one peice which looks better and can pay more for the cam coated one but is it really needed?.. I don't know :smiley:
How do you find your CAI since fitted and what gains have you gotten from it? Same as any other CAI? Is basically what I'm asking/saying haha
-
The car feels a lot smoother on acceleration and makes an awesome wooooshh noise :p I didn't get a before and after because I was too excited to fit it haha. I'm not sure what the other brands are like.I went for this one because it suited my budget and to be honest, I wouldn't spend too much on an intake.
-
Haha I'm in the same boat as you as I don't fancy spending £400+ for an intake.. Looking at either the Evoms which some say is a bit "chavvy" sounding but after watching jays vid he made of his I don't agree I think it's fine.. Orr something like a Pflow? Nuespeed I think? Need to spend a bit more time looking and weighing up my options :smiley: :happy2:
-
Get a video up :laugh: :happy2:
-
I'll do it tomorrow if I get time. Would be a lot easier if I could upload from my phone haha. I like that the autotech one comes with a K&N filter... I really can't complain about the quality of it
-
I've been looking at this aswell. Be good to see the video.
-
I've just fitted a K&N CAI kit and I can't fault it.
And it only cost £200 which I didn't think was too bad. And certainly a lot cheaper than others which are doing exactly the same thing.
You also get a good set of fitting instructions.
Agree with the above also. Car does seem smoother and pulls better.
-
I'll have a neuspeed p-Flo intake for sale from next week for a very good price
Only 6 weeks old as well.
Got it on my mk2 cupra at the minute but will fit mk5 golfs with either k03/04
I think your cai kit is similar to my neuspeed mate
Sound awesome don't they...... Also it seems to pull better than what it does with standard airbox
-
Are they all prone to that not very nice sounding whistle? I've heard that the dbilas one is a good Intake but quite prone to that whistle sound? And apparently same with the Pflow mentioned above? Correct me if I'm wrong :happy2:
-
I don't get no whistle sound with mine mate, to be honest I've heard of that issue before with some people.
I'd say that could be a leak though were the intake pipes not seated/tightened into the silicone reducer hose on turbo inlet.
Could be wrong though lol
-
I don't get a whistle, it's just a loud sucking sound :evilgrin: a monkey could fit one of these intakes but I was quite particular when it came to sealing the silicone hose properlym even checked it today and it had loosened a bit
