This intake uses a dry filter and replaces the stock intake plumbing all the way to the turbo inlet. Those two items combined with its price and a somewhat 'factory' appearance let me to purchase. I am pleased with the product - performance and appearance. I did remove the rather cheesy 'Volant' badge on the filter housing as it cheapened up a sharp looking piece.

The air intake system is not too loud under wot and I can tell a difference in acceleration and early indication shows an increase in fuel economy. I did have some turbo lag, but I later installed a Magnaflow catback system and that lag went away. I can recommend this product.

"Per everything I read, the videos I watched and the instructions that came with the K&N, it should have been easy enough to pull the old airbox out and install the new intake. As for the instructions, the only thing that was an issue for me was the "exploded" assembly view. A little confusing with the hardware. When it came time to re-install the original mass flow sensor, it would not fit as necessary. There is a baffle in the tube to direct air flow through the sensor and the baffle came up to high in the tube to allow for the sensor to seat properly. I had to take a half round file and take a "bite" out of the baffle. Fortunately the baffle is aluminum and it didn't take too long to accomplish. Annoying but not a deal breaker for sure. Not sure if there is a difference in the horsepower or the gas mileage as I also installed a new aftermarket exhaust and between the two new installs, I am "enjoying" the car more. Maybe after the newness wears off, I may drive a little more responsibly." —James M from Saint Leonard, MD bought a K&N 69 Series Typhoon Intake Systems for a 2011 Volkswagen GTI, Turbocharged 2.0L 4-cyl. engine.
