I've fitted the Dbilas to my otherwise standard engine setup k03 GTI. I recently changed the actual intake part for a Pipercross cone filter after being impressed with Dave @ PDT's setup.
It sounds different with more wooshes and bolder chatter than the OEM intake.
This is all very well and I know fits the profile of a Turbo'ed car, although, I'm not a big fan in all honesty of OTT turbo acoustics and while I love the performance rewards of a turbo'ed petrol engine, I wanted just an enhanced acceleration sound from the engines heavy breaths.
The best way I can describe what I'm looking for is a raw inducted sound, very like the old Simota air boxes. (Example:
) I of course appreciate the example vehicle is a non turbo car with an injected fuel delivery.
What I'm looking for is probably quite niche and having whored' around youtube looking at UK, EU and US intakes and CAF's for the GTI it seems I probably won't find that sound for the TFSI, but thought I'd ask to ensure once and for all
Thanks.
