Air Intakes

[Tim]

Im a fan of stock airboxes and many cars have made good power with slight modifications to them but compared with a mk4 gti or a3t airbox the polo one seems to be more an answer to a packaging solution than to a performance one. The surface area of the panel filter seems quite small compared to other cars.

Seems that they made things really hard when it comes to this aspect of what is a fantastic engine. Locally a few mates have opted to go with the cone and a 90' bend inside the stock box which sucks up heat on a dyno but the improvement is definitely found on the road. This costs in the region of aus $35 so its definitely worth the try

Aren't the pleats quite deep?

Can anyone tell me if the Seat intake increases intake noise at all? I would like a bit more intake noise without being too obvious.

[noone]

Yes, but I'm not sure if it would without chipping it first...

Apparently, you get more noise increase when cutting back the flap.
I'd try it with just the SEAT intake and cut the flap if you want it louder.
I did notice a slight intake increase without cutting the flap (and it's still there on mine).

Just a quick update on the Dub Addiction pricing for the SEAT intakes. I only have 5 left and looking to clear them given the drop off in interest for 9N product. If you want one then this might be the last chance to source it locally.

New price is $149.95inc GST picked up. Or +$11 shipped next day via express post

Hi Tim, I attempted to grab one of these (still available on your site) but the message says you don't ship to my region. (Wellington, NZ).

Is there a way I can order one and maybe have a freight charge added? No hurry to get it here (ie, courier/airmail not necessary), I'm just interested in procuring it before the supply dries up.

I guess the other option is to try and get one from the franchise holder in Wellington. They tend to charge an arm and a leg, though.

All international orders need to be quoted individually as the automated systems just end in tears. Shoot me through an email to sales@dubaddiction.com.au with your full delivery address and what you want to order then ill get back to you with a shipping quote.

There are only 2 intakes left so first in best dressed.

[Tarq57]

Thanks, email has just been sent.

[Tarq57]

And updated with shipping address.

[Tim]

Thanks for the email Tarq57. Ill address it shortly and put an intake aside for you.

Thats it folks.. Provided Tarq57 pulls the trigger on the last one they all sold out.

So looks like if you want one now your going to have to do an expensive import or hope a second hand one comes up (for people reading this thread who want one now)

or make your own for less than $50. Browser Warning

Interesting read, what path are you going down with the free flowing exhaust? if it is anything like the Polo the factory exhaust isn't too bad the biggest gain is just from a De-Cat with most other things just providing minimal gains.

[Julian Edgar]

biggest gain is just from a De-Cat

Is there any evidence of a gain from removal of the cat?
