air intake

[kieran_cupra]

Hi all,


Sorry if im asking a stupid question but after searching i couldnt actually find a straight answer

Has any one made a custom cai that fits into the front wing?

I currently have a modified airbox with a cotton green panel filter but want to hear more from my engine,

I see jabba do a filter but its not cheap, Just after some opinions really please guys.

Thanks guys

Kieran

Im going to attempt this aswell. I have a stainless steel pipe with a 2.5 inch bore. I had it made up as an induction pipe on a clio i had.. Im going to cut it in a few places and then get some hoses and it'll be happy days

i'd like to hear one of these up close and personal, ive seen video clips and they sound alright but then videos dont really do dump valves/induction setups any justice as i have attempted before.

Didn't you have the Golf MK4 Carbonio shoe horned in?

 

[hadz]

yeah thats right mate! its tight but it fits! sounds quite nice 2! im thinking bout selling it soon tho fancy a change!

Save yourself the hassle and buy a Carbonio Carbon Fibre CAI...

Fitment you need is the Golf Mk4 one.. Whoever said they dont fit is a *****!

You need to unbolt the battery and slide it forward temporarily to slide the cone end in then unscrew the arch plastics to angle it in right! Job was finished in 30 mins!

jNx - thats what i have got on mine! its tight aint it! what filter have u got on yours?

I may be interested. PM'd you

 

[acidstrato]

and yet the funny thing is brand new the carbonio costs how much.....?

i paid 40quid for mine also adds a touch of bling

Dont fit tho does it carl? lol. Elbow you need i reckon.

 

[acidstrato]

fits fine dude, an elbow would have made it easier but since i fitted it 4months ago i haven't had any problems

 

[Forbez]

Pmsl!!

 

[PhilW]

Cool. I'm still tempted by one, need to see yours again to be honest carl.
