Looking at getting a cone air induction kit for my 1.8t golf but not sure which to get.

i can get a standard k and n one for around £80-£90

but i have found this one online aswell for £45 (inc p&p)

has anyone got one and if so was it easy to fit.

also which would improve sound better as im not making this installation for improved performance , just hopefully a slightly better sound :).

Would be easier to get a panel filter.

But if your after better sound a induction kit is definatly the way forward I would recommend get a cold air intake and a jetex filter and then maybe do the cheap mods that I have done this week which I made a thread about.

It's not a hard squeeze really mate, I have heat wrapped mine and it still fits fine  :cool:

And yeah cone filters sound great personally I would get a jetex filer over the k&n one after having both I would consider the jetex one the better choice.
