anyone has experience using GruppeM intake for the GTI?
any performance gain compared to carbonio?
sound. is it loud?
-
....It looks like the Big Daddy, or is it Mother Fecker, of air intakes. gruppeM have a major reputation in the BMW world, so I would expect them to be good. BUT....You pay a premium for all that carbonfibre eye-candy!
It's generally reckoned that the filter is all important. I'm running a Carbonio with ITG Pro panel filter, so it's probably as good as a Carbonio can get. However, I wouldn't like to say how it compares with the gruppeM and would expect the gruppeM to contribute more to performance - It should do at the price!!

im sorry but ive tried many different filters in different cars and none make a much noticable difference, i believe they help the engine with more air and its "better" for the engine but you really wont see much difference in performance, between carbonio and gruppM i guess if you had a gti and RR'd it the difference between the two would be very very minimal if at all, thats my opinion anyways :smiley:

....I think you are largely right, Joe - Not big differences if at all, but all much better than stock. Air Intakes is always a subject which ends up in huge debate.
-
how much is it??
....I think it's about US $ 900 = £ 508 and that's without all the shipping and import tax sh!t.

Your right RR gruppe M have a very good rep with the beemers. The intake looks like a very good quality bit of kit, but even if its the best on the market you wont see big gains, maybe you would see more if you had ported head etc as the engine will flow more air.
Im running an itg panel filter with the stock airbox, think thats as far as im going with the intake.
Would rather spend money on things that will make a difference.

thanks for all the info. i'm currently using a rep carbonio intake with k&n drop in. i'm getting some fluttering noise from turbo between 3.5k to 4k rpm. but from 4.5k to redline, the engine pulls amazingly smooth. don't know wat's the problem but will play around with intake before messing around with other hardware. may try to use stock intake box with k&n drop in only.
any difference between pipercross filter and k&n drop in?

....No, I met my Venezuelan girlfriend when we were both in London. She was studying architecture and I was studying her. She was a bit younger than myself, as most of my gf's have been. Most of those South American girls are crazy!! Great fun! There was another from Colombia and when she went back home she would send me a rolled spliff of Columbian grass (very strong!) taped to a letter........Pheeweeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Enough of my memories!

-
....Is there any particular reason for your change from Carbonio to Dbilas, k4ith?

A couple of things Robin, some maybe wrong but time will tell. :undecided:
I am hoping the flowmaster as its called lives up to its name and aides in better airflow.
this is to compliment the recently added fuel pump, intercooler(next week) and hammer file(map) currently unused on the car.
And also the price i got it for :smiley:
