which air filter/induction

[S.Kayani]

looking for better sound, so thinking a cone filter rather then panel filter - probably k&n - which one do i need for the GTI? an wheres cheapest to get it? dont really wanna spend too much on it..

Whats your budget? ide recommed the BMC CDA filter quite pricey tho.

[S.Kayani]

ill look that one up, dont really wanna spend more then 80 quid really but the cheaper the better!

For sound you'll bebefit more from and Induction kit over a Panel filter,as posted above most people will reccomend the BMC CDA but they're alittle pricey.You basically want a sealed unit rather than a cone because of the location of the throttle body,a cone will just be sucking in warm air from the engine bay.You can pick up cheap sealed units for about £40-80.

that sounds about right as to what i want to pay - any ideas of a decent make/model of a sealed unit for around that price?

[Bradley]

Not off the top of my head dude.Google search them and have a look on ebay.Shouldn't be difficult to find at all.Will have a look myself when ive abit of time and post them up for you.

For around £80 ur not goin to get much on the performance increase as said ul just suck up warm air,

However this new kit comes with everything you need and will move the filter into a better place for the heat soak, i reckon this is everything you need!

You get the lot and seems up ur street matey.............

looks alright pal, cheers for that

not toooo bothered about performance really, just a bit more of a 'sporty' sound lol

any one else got one they can recommend?


*edit*

after having a search around, ive found this K&n 57i one

i know its not sealed, but im not too bothered about better performance for now, as long as it sounds better and doesnt perform worse then it originally does now?!

reckon if i get this it will perform just as good? or will it be worse (as its not sealed)

ive got pipercross induction kit on mine, if you want sound you want this to be honest (sounds like a vr6)
bought it for £100 just using it as its winter but summer time you want bmc wich is better than any cone or foam filter

[Bradley]

Personally i wouldn't bother with an unsealed unit mate.It would gain more heatsoak than the standard airbox so in theory would perform alittle worse.Just me opinion though,keep looking and get a sealed unit be much more worth it.

[Trottagti]

Yeah i got a Pipercross carbon fibre viper kit like the filter itself second hand for 80 quid, all i needed was the silocone hose and air feed so look around mate!

[S.Kayani]

nice one - ill keep my eye out in the for sale section! lol

[Bradley]

Where abouts are you located dude?.My friend has a brand new Pipercross Viper kit for sale.It's been fitted to his Seat Ibiza FR then he took it off.He's asking £80 for it which is abit of a bargain.
