k&n induction kit yes or no

[ibiza_cupra_gti]

thinking of gettin one of these..will it improve performance and sound better?

 

[cordobabrendy]

no and yes
get a cold air feed from down near the front of the bumper.
modifying your existing airbox will give you the noise and still have the protection from heat.

Ive just recently put a K&N kit on mine and im happy with the results! Did think of the modded airbox but i just had to get rid of that black beast! Fitted it aswell which was no problem at all!

 

[ibiza_cupra_gti]

how much did you pay for it mate?

If your just after some extra noise cut your existing airbox. Just trim out the section round the front bottom and inner wing. Put it back on the car and bingo loads of noise

Performance wise its not going to make a vast difference unless your whole breathing system is improved meaning you would need a good sports exhaust on it too and you would still only gain 10-15bhp if its the noise your after a drill and the airbox is the best way to go imo.

10-15 brake on an 8v? not really, you might get one or two horsies and a few more lb/f, 8vs need back pressure to run optimally.

87 bucks I got mine from but you cud get cheaper by a few quid if you shop around. Does make a difference aswell!
