Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The reviews I have read about this product seem to say easy install, minimal performance gain, 3rd gear sounds amazing.
My experience, installation somewhat difficult, performance much improved, gears 1-5 sound amazing depending on how your driving.
Changed stock air intake w/ 80,000 miles, on 2.0 8 v Jetta (naturally asperated) w/ Manual Trans.
First time doing more than maintaince on a vehicle.
It took me and a friend more than 5 hours to get the old intake out and put the new cold air intake in, and don't even think about doing this without help, unless you have some experience.
It is true all you need is a couple of screw drivers to install the actual K&N kit itself, however, on a Jetta, it would really help if one of those screw drivers is offset, (like an S) because without a piece like that, getting the clamp of the filter on to the pipe underneath your car is almost impossible (very little room), and it takes more than a few screwdrivers to get your old stuff out, a lot more on a VW.Also, at one point, the instructions asks to remove some rivets.The only way we could figure do so was to break them, and one of them is close to the bottom of the car. Breaking them worked, but it was odd.
Had these things been clear from the begining, it would have saved us at least two hours.
Once the CAI was in, it was instantly noticeable that the laughable initial chuc-chuc choking sound of a vw jetta engine starting up was replaced by a deeper more aggressive deep breath sound followed by a low growl from the engine.Not only was the sound from the engine better, but I noticed a big improvement in accelleration.I don't have any way to measure, but I would estimate at least a 15% gain on my 90-110 hp car.I have not seen an improvement in MPG because I am having so much fun tearing up the road with the faster, better sounding car.
All in all, I am happy with my purchase.
