not too sure on the 16v front but keeping the original induction system and replacing the panel filter has always been my preference. VW usually do a good job on induction systems anyway and anything they do that isn't to your liking can be easily removed / modified. I have kept the original induction system on my g60 but removed the snorkel, placed a cold air feed and used a K&N panel. Makes a beautiful noise :D

i opted for original box with orignal filter, after comparing a K&N panel next to a paper filter, the paper one looked like it did a far better job of filtering, could see through the k&n

 

for the measly difference in engine performance, i'd rather have the standard one and have better filtration

 

i couldn't sleep at night with the k&n fitted so took it off :cuckoo:

Thought the only induction kit that would fit a 16v was the Stroeve one...

yeah i think so too because of the electronic gubbins coming out the bottom, plus its over 100 notes.

panel filter and snorkel removed is the best compromise imo.

I have had one of the Pipercross box filters on one of my Corrados in the past.

They give a lovely growl.

 

Here's a pic of what the filter box looks like

 

 

Basically the piper is a foam filter in a metal frame box which replaces the existing air box.

Yes it is easy to fit.

You just unclip and remove the old filter box and replace with the Piper one

From what i remember....acceleration seemed quicker and smoother.

I bought the Piper filter i had secondhand from this forum back then, so didn't pay a great deal for it.

Don't think i would pay the price they ask for new ones though.

 

Best and cheapest way to increase the airflow on a valver is to modify the existing air box.

how would i do that soory but i am new to this

By drilling holes in your existing box.
