how often does the air filter needs to replace than vw original ?

[@coldhardrock]

The OEM+ look if these intakes is great, almost looks like a factory option. Also gotta say thanks to Mk7 Jeff for making all that testing available for free as I've really enjoyed reading through it all and thinking about what I want to do with my Alltrack.

[@davekal]

OEM+ aka lots of plastic. =d

[@borderwave2]

No data on whether the filter media works as well as the OEM filter however.

[@coldhardrock]

@@borderwave2 good point. That would be an interesting comparison.

[@fstcvc]

Nothing better than an install video with Paul! As always you made it more entertaining and even show the struggles that we all run into when doing our own projects.

[@heroofharo]

As a guy who doesn't and will not own that car, but does plan to do an intake, thanks for putting the important part up front.

[@patrickfinucan2201]

Oh Paul...even the most simplest install you still manage to suffer and struggle... Even with opening a simple plastic packing from HD. Glorious to watch!! Laughed all morning. Thank you for this!!

[@miketeeveedub5779]

Love the intake sound - much better than vanilla stock with the Soundaktor! Increased Hp and Torque nothing to sneer at either! Now do a soft tune comparison with the stock and aftermarket intake. That would be an interesting comparison as well. Cheers!

[@toddhunt2087]

Cant say enough Paul, your videos are fun to watch and informative. You make it all look easy! Keep them coming!

[@flyingbear_fpv9291]

Installed mine yesterday on 2023 S3 8Y Noticable difference in turbo spool and throttle response. Sound also way nicer and throatier. Thanks for the vid. I am happy I came along this! Great work!

[@ismaild1982]

Incredible OEM+ products that just work, with ease of installation and simplicity.

[@xenemyx]

After having my mk7 performance for a year in stock form, I’m ready to get a little extra out of it. I’m happy an intake gets you more than just better noises. 💪

[@clipsncasts1]

A little extra? You can get alot more like +80hp over stock. Tune and downpipe is most of that

[@questorthews]

Whenever I see a DAP video I immediately like! Thanks for putting these very informative videos together for us Paul! Really helps me work my mod decisions for my MK8.

[@shanea9613]

I am from Australia. I used to have a golf... Now I have a 2007 bf mkii Falcon XR6 ute. It has a straight 6 cylinder 4.0 litre turbo charged engine. Installed an intake and could feel the difference with it. Had it dyno tuned and went from 202kw at the wheels to 208kw at the wheels just with the intake. The actual dyno tune is now 306 kw at the wheels 870nm of torque. Only mods are the intake and a cat back 3 inch exhaust. My favourite thing about it is the induction noise from the intake.

[@paulsimpson8990]

Love the Barra!! I had two fg xr6ts myself. I eventually got sick of noisy diffs etc so I went down the second had bmw route instead. Stock drivelines can handle 800hp and engines can make 650 on stock internals. All the tuning can be done using your smartphone. If you ever get rid of the barra give one a go 👍

[@lucbegin7334]

I've told myself that I won't modify my S3...but these vids always get me to re-think my decisions lol. Keep it up!

[@ViktorPlays321]

Love the intake mods, especially with dyno proof!

[@BobaAddict]

Wow, I was not expecting such a big boost from just an intake. This looks like a great mod in terms of aesthetics, sound, and performance! Hope I can win one 😁

[@alexelstun3630]

Just picked up a Mk8 GTI and you guys have done the most by far covering modification of these cars! Keep up the good work!

[@pedroleon5280]

The only thing better to watch than install videos are "Paul and his cameraman" install videos. Funny and weird sense of humor. Great stuff!

[@christophermaldonadopr]

Hey guys, I might have missed some content in this gti, but how is making 291 hp and 342 torque? With just the inlet turbo racingline?

[@fazlee712]

that's about what my GLI does with just a stage 1 ECU tune and everything else stock so I'd guess it's just that

[@harrisontrumbour4978]

Always thought performance from intakes was negligible, glad to know there are some gains!

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Just like an exhaust,it depends on how restrictive it is to begin with.

[@elesjuan]

@@MrTheHillfolk also depends highly on the design of the aftermarket intake. If it literally replaces your airbox with a cone filter under the hood sucking hot air, you're more likely to LOSE power.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

@@elesjuan that's why you don't do that.

[@DairyKing404]

I found this to be true for naturally aspirated engines, but with turbo power, intake is definitely worth it!

[@harrisontrumbour4978]

@@DairyKing404 definitely, been thinking about getting one for my Audi A3. Eventually wanting to go stage 1

[@lmfarris2284]

it is amazing how much of a difference that part made. especially in the sound.

[@junobd]

Thanks Paul, looks like the R600 is a pretty nice air box, glad I decided to go with it+turbo inlet

[@MB-sh7qx]

Racing line is second to none. They make the best parts for our platform. Also, I very much appreciate all of the videos. They are incredibly helpful. Thank you

[@ndyke020475]

Fair enough this man is best of showing and explain how to remove and fit new with every detail

[@jacobmiller5180]

I've been following every video Paul has made since he got his mk8. You inspired me to get my NA Mk8! Thanks Paul!

[@backnunAndy]

For older car, it works pretty well. However, current new models have various sensor to control engine power with so many variables sent by million sensors. I believe without mapping the ecu, ecu always want to compensate extra input and try to keep power figure within its ideal parameters

[@malcolmn.5222]

Is this speculation and conjecture or facts?

[@backnunAndy]

@@malcolmn.5222 facts! not like 90's car! whatever you put in, you need to remap for changes

[@jkonzy]

I love how these look oem+ and have the performance. And now because of this video, 100% the choice im getting for my mk8

[@KutWrite]

I appreciate that you put the results first, then the installation. Did you disconnect the speaker that supplies the fake noise?

[@eppyz]

Is this 8 running any type of piggyback tune? Most gains on an Intake and or exhaust are made with a tune. On a completely stock car? I doubt there would be much gain at all. I personally do not like the noises. I mean I did when I was 20 but not when I am 50. haha.

[@kegfreak3728]

I already have an intake, but I love the noise. The turbo exhaust delete really makes the "shhhhh" even better.

[@djaric]

It's fun seeing someone actually struggle like a normal person would who hasn't done this before on an install, instead of having everything perfect and acting like they know it all. 🙂 Making me want get an intake for my Civic Si.

I am running a DIY intake my mk6 2.5, not sure about power but sounds good🤷‍♀

[@KarelBeelaertsvanBlokland]

A cold air intake in general will add some Horses when the opening is mounted low at the front grill. But most cheap intake filters mounted high on the engine will only suck in more hot air from the engine not adding any horses!

[@darylmorse]

They should offer a version with the secondary air inlet hole already drilled.

[@krazyowl2]

Great video, been looking at adding an intake for a while now! Love the before and after comparisons along with the dyno results.

[@bryanb661]

Keep up the Great videos, Thank you

[@DD-ih4cj]

The biggest change is, that the r600 has two ways for air. The stock one way for air. So Open the stock way and you gain close some power. Only Sound you get with r600

[@jonkaita2225]

[@scottmckinley752]

I really lean toward a closed box intake over the open filter. Nice to see that one of the intakes that has caught my attention has at least a little benefit.

[@jonytube]

Same. I can't shake it off that open filters are just sucking in hot air

[@pazupazu2781]

@@jonytube Closed air box plastic parts acumulate heat as well so you will be warming that air no matter what. Also it depends on your hood design oem with no air vents is not so good at gettin hot air outside with proper air flow...

awesome video guys, the mk8 is really growing on me now thats ive been seeing them out more and more.

[@rthompson938]

If positioned correctly so it doesn't suck in warm air from the engine and you usually need a remap to make the best gains.

[@ogfromutube9649]

I have a 98 inline 5 turbo Volvo.. snabb makes a turbo inlet but there are no decent intakes. I bought some 3" spectre tubing. As I have a 3.25" maf for my larger turbo I needed a 3.25 to 3" coupler. My inlet as well being 3" required a coupler in 90°. So anyway I used a 3" straight section and mounted my 3" inlet spectre filter directly behind where the stock airbox attached to the air dam in the grill. Used a 3" accordion style duct work and ran it through the grill. I have no shield and the filter is still getting some inside under the hood air I'm sure. But since I have water methanol injection pre throttle body. That air might be warm feeding into the turbo, it's below ambient going into the engine. Even with a stock intercooler my iat combined with 93 octane + vp racing octanium achieved maximum brake torque which usually requires e85. Have a dw fuel pump and 80lbs dw injectors. A billet hybrid turbo. And made 350whp and 415ft lbs of torque on an almost 30 year old stock internals engine. And modified stock ECU with internal 3 bar map sensor, and repurposed rear O2 preheater wires powering my vvt cam solenoid. Also running full lambda control eliminating the stock narrowband O2 wiring the aem x series analog into my stock harness. Pretty amazing stuff from my tuner. He modifies the ECU himself adding a voltage step up to enter flash mode, and created an xdf parameter file to work in tunerpro. Even 2 step launch control, and flat foot shifting with an added clutch switch, as well as dual maps I can switch on the fly by pressing the gas pedal on key on no start. One map for 93 and one for the 93 + vp. Also set a flashing engine light if the knock sensor detects more then 2 knocks in a 1 second period. It can read up to 46 parameters at 25 samples per second.

Had the part installed in my Cupra. In addition to more intake noise, it subjectively brings even less torque in the lower speed range. Since the filter performance is also much worse than the original filter, it was thrown out again.
