    What's a quiet intake?

    Hi all, first proper post here. I have a Scirocco on the way and have been reading up on the tuning mods but I can't find a definitive answer to my question.

    Im looking to get an aftermarket intake kit but I want one that is as close to stock in terms of noise levels. I plan on a Spectune upgrade pretty quickly but have read that the Volante intake adds a fair bit of noise.

    Is their an intake that is cosindered to be pretty quiet?

    cheeers.

    Can't suggest an intake but have you considered keeping the stock setup and just adding a high flow air filter?

    Hi Stellio, yes it did occur to me though I have a suspicion it won't flow enough for a stage 2 tune. I only planned on getting the turbo downpipe, HPFP and whatever is needed on the induction side to satisfy the airflow needs.

    I probably should give the tuner a call.

    I spoke to my local APR tuner and he advised that I could run a stahpge 2 upgrade with the panel filter. He did say it won't give the same power increase as a CAI though (its only a few KW that I won't miss).

    I'm booked in for a stage 1 but keeping getting the urge to buy an HPFP to get the torqu up there! I may consider a CAI down the track but, for now, I reckon a panel filter will do me.
