As Sy says, my Twintake isn't as loud as some folks were expecting but most have only heard it from outside the car. From inside, where the sound matters more to me, it sits well balanced in the sound mix. I didn't want an intake which overpowers the Grrrrr from my engine mounts or to detract from my Milltek. Like my car's driver, it's classy and sophisticated  :laugh:

As I've said many times before, sound is very subjective and we each have our own preferences. By all accounts, ITG appears to be the loudest currently.

....I haven't driven an Evo to be able to compare but the Forge spacer sound would quickly irritate me and it also attracts a lot of attention from pedestrians. It's nice when people notice your car and admire it but not when it's due to chavvy noises, imo.

I hope you're not disappointed with the Twintake sound, you certainly won't be disappointed with its build quality, you can hear it but I doubt it's as loud as an Evo because everything on them is loud! Or am I mixing them up with Scooby's?

Take care to orientate the Twintake filter cans the recommended right way - Should be on their latest instructions downloadable pdf from Forge UK web site.

....Yep, the carbon strip is OSIR and unfortunately expensive. It comes without any VW logo too. Good idea to fix any centre strip to engine cover with Tiger Seal to stop rattling.
