Here ya go fitted to my 1 day old Cupra 280




Original airbox



VWR have got a bigger and better fully enclosed one coming soon , test fitted that yesterday aswell.

 

[GrahamFR]

very nice mate, quite an unusual shape, i assume it removes the 'air vortex' creator? I see it uses the existing pipework, so does that keep the price down?

 

[AndrewJB]

Its cheaper than some and not very loud at all.

 

[GrahamFR]

£40 cheaper than my pipercross, wasn't expecting that one, must be the pipework. Not sure about leaving that cooling pipe in the front of it couldn't it have been tucked away somewhere underneath. If you're at inters Sat. ill come and have a closer look if that's ok

 

[AndrewJB]

Yeh come have a look, dont think it can be tucked away its a pain in the rear where it is though

 

[GrahamFR]

whats the new one sound like andrew?

 

[GrahamFR]

also, are you lending BCS your car Andrew so they can develop an exhaust? If not I am sure there will be no shortage of volunteers on here

 

[AndrewJB]

Its not that loud tbh nothing like the REVO ceramic I had on the 2.0TFSI

and yes

 

[GrahamFR]

see, i think id miss the open cone noise, looks cool but think i'll pass, maybe next year or next car

 

[AndrewJB]

It can be heard a little

Apr is out on monday. Looks good too

 

[GrahamFR]

Just noticed that the Revo intake is EXACTLY the same as my pipercross. I had thought it was similar but not exactly the same, its actually given me some more faith in my cai now

Revo charges a serious amount of money for that kit

At £350 it is more expensive than the pipercross by a £10 but youd be surprised how much people will pay for a name stuck on the side of an intake. That said its £100 less than APR's although you can see that theirs in enclosed and probably has had a lot of development. Still interested to see what VWR want for their enclosed system...

 

[AndrewJB]

Hopefully getting the enclosed system soon from VWR

 

[GrahamFR]

which means, providing price is right, there will soon be a pipercross and vwr open cone intakes in the for sale section

 

[Mattias]

Finally gott my cai, orded a cts turbo and it arrives today

 

[GrahamFR]

CTS tubro, nice looking bit of kit, better my pipercross one, not sure about the paper filter against foam tho, but there are arguments for both.

hur mycket?
