Best overall air intake upgrade?

[Benjilis]

Cool, thanks man! I thought, surely i was missing something. I've only had the car six days, and the shopping list is already growing fast.

Down the rabbit hole you go

This hose clamp right here can eat a dong.

On my eventuri, I connected 3 socket extensions to reach it ?

Then when I was pulling it out, the sockets came apart and I had to fish them out with my magnet lol

I went with the Armaspeed CF intake. It looks great and sounds great. That's all I was concerned about with an intake.

It seems like a lot of this thread can be summed down to MST and Armaspeed being the top 2. Armaspeed has some better looks with the CF box, but costs more.

Eventuri is also on the list, but is much higher priced than the other 2.

MST V2 with clear lid and gold wrap around the intake pipe.

Is the gold wrap functional? Looks amazing with the clear cover. Considering buying a clear cover for my MST V2. intake as well. By far the best intake on the market in my opinion, I chose it over the Armaspeed and couldn't be happier.

Yeah, it's heat insulated.

It's the worst! Took me four tries and I dropped pieces and parts as well. Blech

Have you ever done any testing on just how functional? I did some testing on this 20 years ago on a GTI VR6 I was racing with the SCCA but I'll be damned if I remember the results. I can remember "it helped," but not if it was worth the expense or trouble. I also imagine we have much easier and more accurate ways of testing these days.

Ha- No idea. It's not much, but it's better. My guess is < 10 degrees. Who knows.

I just realized it was actually *26* years ago. There's no way I'm that old. At any rate, even at < 10 degrees it's still probably worth it on a track (of any kind) car.

Eventuri all day if you can afford it!!

Best based on what? From a design standpoint the MST is incredibly mediocre, the fitment around the car panels is mediocre and an open bottom exposed to stuff coming up from the front wheel well isn’t great either.
