Evoms or Dbilas

[Carr20vt]

As title really.
Whats peoples thoughts?
One better to fit than the other?
Quality?

Prices are similar with the heat shield inc.
Anyone know which one performs the best?

Evoms for the ko4 (not modded ko3) is out this week.
I've heared it's louder than Dbilas and gives a woosh on back off (open cone).
Not that i'm really after that, don't want it too intrusive or loud.
I know the guys with higher bhp on here are using the Dbilas.

Has anyone got the Evoms and can comment?
Should the open cone with heat shield give better results?

Cheers.

A test to compare intake kits would be most welcome. Until then its going to be opinions only.

For what its worth, my opinion is that the Dbilas is likely to be better because it uses the OEM intake and therefore will be less prone to hot engine bay air affecting what is ingested.

The different designs available, like cones in the wheel arch/engine dont allow the free flow of air from outside the engine bay in unless you are using funnels/tubes/pipes.

The Dbilas does give a louder than OEM noise and if you let off quickly when changing gear, you will get let off noise. I have no doubt it is quieter than a cone, but then I am not bothered about it being that loud and whooshy as I am past the whole pre-pubescent stage

People do always tell me my Cupra sounds the biz and I have never heard anyone say its too loud or "chavvy" if that makes sense.

Link to the new evoms?

APR have a new carbonia out soon also!

I wouldnt worry about hot air, its a turbo car not n/a.

Phil, i have had both fitted to my K1. The Evoms is indeed loud and quite intrusive in the cabin. I tired of it after a month or so and went for a Dbilas.

I've got the Dbilas now and had a VF negineering one for a short while (apparently similar to a EVOMs, although I'm told the EVOM is louder again).

Anyway both gave good improvements in performance although can't quantify which is best. What I can tell you is that the VF Engineering / EVOMS is considerably louder, a loud whoosing noise from the glovebox area. You can have a listen to my Diblas if you want as I see you are in S Wales, whereabouts?

Sorry no its sold.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Sounds like the Evoms would be a bit hardcore.

Rob i'm in Bridgend. Would like to hear it if we get chance.

Is regal the best place to get Dbilas?

 

[Rob GTI]

I'm in Swansea and travel past Bridgend once or twice a week. Would like to check your car out as I have just bought a Cupra which is a twin of yours (bar the wheels) so I would like to see what they look like.

The Dbilas is currently off my FR awaiting a small adaption by Regal required to fit the K04 engine'd car so will be back on by the end of next week.

Drop me a PM and we can sort out a meet.

DBilas will be fitted at awesome 3rd April, will post opinion right away. Cant wait!

How much are the DBilas? Are they easy to fit? I take it you just use they standard airbox but change the filter?

 

[Carr20vt]

Na all new. 355 notes.........
Looks easy.

 

[Rob GTI]

S5 Audi doesn't that have a V8?

Yes it is relatively easy half hour to an hour max. THe hardest thing is getting the OEM clips off by the turbo and original airbox, piece of cake if you've got the spring clip remover tool tho.

Yep sounds good but its a fat heavy technology loaded car.

Beautiful car that. Bet it wipes the floor with the Cupra.

Na no way. 349hp and i'd guess it weighs upwards of 1650kgs.
Makes you realise what you have got with the Cupra.

With the added bonus of 4WD I've thought about an S5 for the future although it only has two seats in the back which is no good for the in-laws and our daughter in the back.
