It is most probably not bad for an SUV but no way does it even pretend to be a car to be driven what I would call fast through the twisty stuff. I drove mine for some hours recently through some really twisty two lane road at night and it didn't frighten me but it is only just adequate and no I won't say how fast we were going. Back in the day many years ago if we were asked to dyno a V8 conversion in any four wheel drive we point blank refused to road test it so I suppose SUV's have made some progress.

Different standards of expectation of course so no surprise that some may feel one way or another. It is most probably the first car that I have regretted buying in some ways but that isn't the car's fault as I can't drive what I want to so I bought the car that suits me at the moment. I love the tech etc but it isn't the kind of car that I want to jump into and wring its neck down a twisty road.

Nice, will you hear more airflow with this drop in? I had an injen intake on my old BMW, it sounded great.
Speaking of filters i spend a bit of time in the M5 tunnels in Sydney to and from work. Was considering buying one of these to try and improve cabin air quality. Anyone used these before?

That cabin filter will stop odours as its activated carbon coated. To stop pollen etc. you need a HEPA filter.

would a HEPA filter work better than activated carbon in removing polutants, i keep reading about higher instances of cancer etc for people who regularly travel in the tunnels, figure if i can improve my odds of making it to retirement (est. 89yrs old)..Tiguan 162tsi Sportline

I have the BMC filter and found it quite quiet, so I removed the snow guard in the airbox and the induction noise is a fair bit louder......I’m not planning to take the Tig to the snow, so I think it’s low risk. I have also changed the elbow pipe between the airbox and turbo inlet, you can source that from VW Racing or on eBay for a replica, that is also meant to increase flow.VW Tiguan 162 TSI Highline w/ R-Line & DAP.
