  9. Sound clips from a Cupra with non-standard soundclips wanted.

    Does anyone have any sound clips of a mk2 Cupra with a non-standard air filter? I am wondering what to get! I am unsure of whether to get a panel or induction style filter. EDIT: I'm not bothered about power increases, it's mainly to increase the noise a bit.
