Is it worth fitting an RS7 airbox to an A7 BiTDI? From what I've read so far, don't expect any power gains? Maybe a bit more induction noise? From what I can see, it's not really worth £150 for that? I welcome input, especially from those who have done that mod. Thanks.

I fitted mine at the same time as doing other mods...the induction sound is lovely and for me well worth the money.

That's interesting, thanks for the reply. Was it a direct replacement? What other mods have you done?
Plug and play.

No, literally plug and play.
Some have drilled holes in the existing air box to try and replicate the effects on the cheap.
I just bought a good used one from Ebay and ill be honest don't think I paid £150. Just save the search on Ebay and one will come up.

Yeah, just done that. I tend to be impatient but that's the best plan, might get one cheaper. Cheers.
Found someone breaking an RS7, got the airbox for £100
I didn't bother recording beforehand, should have done that. I haven't had the car long enough to be so used to "its sound" that I could make a good comparison before and after. Since fitting I haven't driven much but when I have I've been pleased with the noise its making but the difference is not night and day, it's subtle but sounds good.

Induction sound is when the air sounds like it's being sucked in, often more noticeable when you use a performance air filter, or in this case a modified air box. No comparison video available unfortunately.
