Hi people, ive tried searching for my answer but cant find one  :cry:

Ive got a agg gti 8v with the standard filter on at the moment but can't decide what to do.

Ive been looking at the pipercross air filters and panel filter as mainly i want to increse the performance abit more. So basically what im asking in terms of performance which is better a induction kit with a air feed or panel filter with a drilled airbox?

If anyone could tell improvements or losses they got from fitting either I would be very grateful.

thanks

I have a panel filter (Pipercross) with a drilled air box. I like it, sounds good and you can feel it slightly  :smiley:

I got a Green Cotton Filter with a drilled airbox and it does the job. Remember this is a cool air feed attached to the airbox.

i have a pipercross panel filter and a drilled air box

i cut the 90 degree angle trumpet off the air box and attached some duct going to a vent on the front bumper:)
works well

i drilled the box at the bottum and the drivers side
