Don't be silly. You're not done on this forum. You'll be back in 6 months asking about some issue you're having with your turbo. Then that's when the real K&N sit down talk will be had.
Installing Neuspeed intake this weekend in preparation for the Rawtek kit I have laying around and malone tunes. K&N was in for a whopping 5k miles.
Apparently you can't hear the intake that much once an exhaust is added so I will get a video of before and eventually after exhaust. Really impressed with the quality of the rawtek kit hardware and welds.
Really thinking hard about a Rawtek too. What setup of theirs did you go with?
Buzzken all day unless you like staring under you car at your exhaust. Exhaust piping don't have to be pretty to be functional and last for a long time. [emoji16][emoji1474]
Apparently they had an authorization form I had to fill out before shipping and I didn't receive that until yesterday. Will get a video up when I get the intake next week.
Cool cool, never had any fitment issues (6in off sounds like install error but nothing Ken or the vendor wouldn't have made right if not) on any MK4/5 or 6's that I've done installs on but all good. Absolutely nothing wrong with Rawtek, just spendy for a budget minded TDI guy like me. :-D
I would say 4-5" was from install error (used ramps and looked under myself). At the time the car wasnt nice enough to care so I just made a new hole and slapped a long tip on it haha Nothing against buzzken and I would purchase again. Like I said DP fitment was incredible and it sounded great!
Im assuming they don't have the parts. That must be why he said they would need the car for a couple days.

He's aware of the communities feelings on these, been through it in here, he's good with it, we're just along for the ride. [emoji4]
Yes, I know, but sometimes I just can't resist. Oh, and I fixed that for you...
Does your car come with a hooligan sticker? Must make up some of the hp. Yes I like vroom vroom noises. The other guys have been through my posts already. Guess you were behind lol
I read the entire thread. You seem to still think intakes have a benefit for your car, lol. The only way an aftermarket cold air intake will benefit your car, at your car's current state of tune, is if you drive up to the cold air intake store and pay with pennies. Then your car will accelerate away about as much faster as you think the noises make it

Fully deleted/tuned the intake either adds 2-3 hp on a dyno or causes a decrease in hp by about the same amount. That is what I think the intake does performance wise. Why don’t you have aarodriguez hybrid turbo kit yet? There is no stage 2.5 tune for our cars unless I get it custom made. No injectors (as far as I know) unless we go with dark side. Turbo kits (besides hopeful cr190) are also darkside projects that have few test pigs. Take your pennies and buy some turbskis. Then you can add your intake onto itI read the entire thread.

That's how you get commuter cars with $25,000 of goodies in them--overvaluing the car's resale value by several times...or get stuck trying to part out semi-obsolete goodies. I call that 'getting married to your car'. 
Haha, sadly I've totaled up everything I've done on my Golf and it sure does add up quick! I can't imagine anything else I need to do though, the car is a blast to drive!Nope nope nope nope. This is where the slippery slope begins, and I don't want to go broke
PS: very nice ride you got.
Man, I would be scared as $hit to put that on my car... if you find a suitable cheap rack, maybe put some clearshield on the contact spots on the car. I hate anything touching my paint.Anybody have any experience with a cheapo hatch mount bike holder? Just found out that I need to take two bikes with me on my vacation. The bikes are fairly light (modern 21 speed and my old gutted, front brakes only, single speed). Guess I am just nervous about sturdiness and the holder scratching my paint. Plan on doing OEM roof rack and then mount on the roof but don't have funds in time for the trip.
