CAI or not

Featured Replies

Finally just had the car remapped which I'm loving :thumbup:

But when getting done the guy was "Get that **** pipe took off" - my cold air induction kit.

What he was saying was dump it and buy a green panel filter or something as I'll be loosing a few bhps due to it..

So my question is should I take note of him or just leave my CAI fitted ?

Whats peoples thoughts ? ? ?

Keep it on

its worth the loss just for the noise :rofl:

keep it on or you have wasted your money buying it. ive heard its a must if you want to have bigger gains later on

Where is the filter located? Mines totally standard on the intake and its staying that way :)

So bit of a mixed bag then.

Think it might stay just for the noise (oh and the greater power gains later on in life haha)

Many of the big tuners will tell you the same, but I keep mine just for the noise :)

I had a CAI on my Octavia and imho, the only benefits to be had were the noise and when I got up around the 5000 rpm mark. Down at max torque, the car felt slower than standard setup. I took the advice of the guys here, smoothed the air box and put in a decent panel filter. Improvements can be felt throughout the rev range

i think i took it off a quote from jabba.

i just love the noise.

you could always ebay it if you dont want it n see if you can get what you paid for it
