Apparently it can collapse, Josebardi had a feed about it on here, but the corrugated sides of the oem pipe disrupt the air flow into the engine. The silicone one ones are smooth all the way down inside.
Got to be worth it. You might be best ordering the right jubilee clips from them for a couple of extra quid because my local car place didn't have one big enough for the top end of the pipe. I just used two smaller ones joined together
Just been out for a blast. Definately noisier and it seems a bit more free revving as well. Hard to tell too much because the remap has made the exhaust a lot louder anyway
Did you get the one from mk performance? It does make a difference even with the original air box in place.
Yeah Kieron thought I was going to go for yellow to match my car but I just kept it black
Would be good but they were from 2 separate places . Maybe Piper cross might supply direct ?
Yeah Daniel the intake pipe to the turbo. It gets rid of the ridges in the oem pipe so it has smoother air flow
Hi, thanks just trying to help people save money lol. If you speak to Kieron at mk performance he is making them now to the correct length so you don't have to cut it. He also does the option of supplying clips. He has a page on ebay now or its kieron@mkperformancehose.co.uk
Looks good. Did you take the tray out from inside the airbox?
Pipercross filter fitted and went with the blue, this will do me for now till Apr get their finger out and bring the S1 specific carbonio intake out or VW racing intake is released.
Nick.
When you lift out the oem paper filter it is sitting on a plastic tray / baffles that is louvred. That lifts out fir better airflow. See gingers3 ' s link "look what turned up" there is a picture
You're not the only one Mate lol. I had to take mine back off ( which isn't the quickest job with all those bolts). The trouble is Pipercross don't tell you to but Revo do. It has to really improve the airflow.
