which intake hose?
« on: 30 December 2012, 12:18 »
am i right in thinking that this is a worth while upgrade

http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=260301&product=FMGOLFIND


is there a cheaper option to get this upgraded part?

and this there any other hoses that give a performance upgrade like the one near the TB?  :smiley:

mk4 AUM by the way

Hey bud they do help, i have been told the TIP like you posted increases air flow.
Anyway the cheapest i have found that are of good quality have been creation motor sports range, free shipping and feels well made, its what i have used, friendly and very helpful staff too.

I have got all fir my AUM apart from the TIP pipe which im yet to buy anyway the replace your pipes see links below.

with no issues

thanks. im only changing it as i want to improve over the original. the forge one promotes it as bigger than oem and is proven to give better flow etc. wonder if the ebay one is bigger?

personally I don't think thats worth getting, Im sure I have read somewhere that that makes little or no difference at all. stick to the ones I posted up make that way should one break its easyer to replae with your standard ones while you wait for your replacements (not that they do break)  :smiley:

Ditto that dave said - I have the forge ones but tbh - the ones dave posted are pretty nice and real good bang for your buck!

If you can wait I think SFS are bringing out a larger 70mm version like the Badger5 large bore Tip (for the KO4) but to fit the AUM.

On a Remapped car it gained 10bhp over the stock tip. I expect it'll be a bit more pricey than those you've posted though  :rolleyes:
