^ I'm tempted to bung this image into my RED INK Studio for some 'enhancement' 

Hmm, I'm a fan of Revo tuning, APR products, and VWR workshop - So my loyalties are split.

It's all very interesting for us consumers though. But what'll happen to the prices? Who can charge the highest?

I have sent Vwr an email so will see what they come back with

AndyED30 - have you been able to compare the noise level of this intake with any of the others - twintake / ITG? I am after one that sounds good at WOT and noticable but not loud! From reports the ITG is loud and the twintake I am not sure - some say loud and some say quieter than the ITG. Tempted by this one I must say and its a shame the wintake is not availble from Forge in the uk.

Mat ED30 - cheers for sorting an email to vwr - will watch with interest for the response.

The ITG is without doubt louder than the Twintake IMO.  Ive had the ITG personally and ive heard the twintake on a few cars.  I also had the APRs Golf R which runs this VWR intake and in all honesty i didnt realise there was an intake fitted until i had a look.  No big whooshes or darth vader noises etc.  Im not sure how much of the engine noise is attributed to the intake or the exhaust but i was pretty impressed by its quieter operation.

....Is this a spelling mistake and did you mean to write Twintake? Not available in the UK?

I can only compare it youtube etc vids on here that members have put on the site to showcase there intakes. The VWR one is way quieter judging by this. When you floor it you can hear it and when you come off the power you get the whoosh there too but nothing intrusive or too boy racer. I prefer the stealthy approach  

Also I've stood next to the APR golf which has/had one and the same was to be said of this.

Hope this helps. Andy.

....The VWR intake being much quieter than my Twintake would be a disappointment and deal breaker in my case.

The choice of an aftermarket air intake tends to be based on the following considerations (not in order of importance):-

- Performance
- Standard of manufacture
- Ease of maintenance
- Sound
- Appearance aka 'Eye-Candy'
- Price

Enjoying sound is an important consideration for many drivers, just as it is when choosing an exhaust system.

Dont get me wrong its not silent.  Its just quieter than the ITG MAxogen.

Indeed Janner_SY, it's sophisticated.............and not chavvy

Must admit i loved thr ITG maxogen at first, but after a while i wouldnt have minded it being quieter.  Same went with the cat back exhaust.  Was great for the first week, but after that it irritated me.

Can't wait to get hold of a vwr intake as soon as they are back in stock.

You didn't mention that when you sold it to me  In fairness, it is also as I expected it to be but I am also getting a bit tired of it now.
