that looks extremely weird... i mean if you want a short cut that would be it, but i prefer
my carbonio.. i mean in my opinion, i want my clean interior to be as clean as my body and i want my engine bay to be as clean as the rest of my car. its an audi not a honda
i dont want to hack it up just to get a quick fix, ya know??

I can post a pic of the cone filter if you like. I don't think it's a hack really. I just can't feature paying that much for an intake, especially because of the negligible power gains. Its just for looks/sound, unless you're BAT.

BATs wouldn't be using any kind of airbox.

Sorry, that's what I was tryin to say lol. I meant that doing the cone mod was only for looks/sound unless you're BAT, in which case its necessary.

Yea post it i mean if i saw one that didnt look like a hack job i think i could be convinced but the link that chocalotstarfish posted from vwvortex they all looked kind of hacked up, if it looked legit i could support it!
