Intake & Exhaust
« on: November 16, 2014, 07:46:28 pm »
Not long had my golf GTi...

Been looking into intakes & exhaust for next mod! Thinking K&N intake then a cobra cat back (non resonated)

Anyone got either of these? Any good?

Thanks Michelle  :happy2:

K&N panel filter will give a couple of BHP, K&N intake will probably lose power  :sick:

If you are after more sound & performance then go with one of the following intakes:

-Revo
- ITG
-EVOMS

Exhausts - not many on here have cobra. Most to for BCS  :happy2:

Cat back gives you sound, the downpipe & sports cat / Decat gives you performance  :happy2:

As above get a decent intake or just do a panel filter, if you're just doing a cat-back then it would be worth removing your precat in the downpipe as that will give some nice gains.

At what BHP does the stock cat back start restricting the flow?

I already have the K&N panel filter, a few people had told me to get the evoms intake!
Exhaust i mainly want for noise & really like the sound of the cobra  :happy2:

I have seen a ITG Maxogen intake for sale locally for £150 + my original intake on my K03.

Being my first modification to the engine - is this a good one to go for and is it a good price?

Yes the ITG is a good one, the price is fair as well.

Price is reduced to £120 now - think I'm going to bite.

Do I have to declare this to insurers as a performance-related modification? My insurer is not welcoming to performance-related mods...  :confused:

Yes you have to declare it as it will improve performance (any mod should be declared).

Try Greenlight - they are cheaper for me with a modified car than all the others were with a standard car  :laugh:

Ahh cheers for the advice! I'll have to pass this time - about 6 months to renewal and wouldn't want to go undeclared.
