Loads of people using these and there good for the price.

I and a few others have cut the pipe down so filter sits next to battery instead of bumper.

Cone at bumper = cold air, less reponse.
Cone at MAF      = Hot air, quick response.
Cone at battery  = Best of both worlds IMO.

Is the air colder near the wheel than it is at the grille? Doubt it :laugh:

This is interesting, I've always been led to believe with VWs closed induction is the way forward... (panel filter and upgraded intake) in the jap world open cone is the way forward... Bill runs his 3" TIP with an open cone where the air box sat and boasts up to a proven 25hp increase on a k04.

Is the open setup really better than a panel filter and DSG intake? Might sell mine lol!
