gaz kindly took me out in his S3 after he had his intake fitted on saturday and the sound on his was vocal but not over powering at all. it sounded nice and meaty.
andy then fitted mine, in alot less time, mostly due to the extra cubic metre of room i had in my engine bay.
first things first the sound it made was much louder than gaz's IMO probably down to the additional sound proofing the S3 will have over mine being the poor cousin. According to andy mine wasnt as loud as the seat leon though, he said that was very very vocal in comparison.
Im mega impressed with the workmanship on it, Ive never worked with a man who was so enthusiastic about his work in my life,in this case filters. he was like a kid in toystore. there are alot of little design features on it especially in the silicone hoses that put this intake above others in the market,the attention to detail was evident everywhere in it.
I thought i had issues though when i test drove it after fitment though. I had mega hesitation at 4000rpm, but this soon changed and all hesitation was replaced by a smooth power band. My guess is that the air fuel ratio would have gone a bit tits up due to the mass of air now coming in compared to before. The ecu has obviously adapted now as that hesitation is long gone.
