    SEAT intake mod is a must..

    Hi,

    I bought the Seat Intake mod from Dub addictions..

    Received it promptly, thanks Tim at Dub addictions..

    Anyhow, I was feeling a little ill and put my name down at the doctor.. Whilst waiting, I decided to go outside and fit up the SEAT intake. It was so easy to fit and looks exactly as stock, which I really like.. I seriously fitted it whilst waiting for the doctor and feeling very groggy so its just so easy to fit.. It just fit perfectly.

    On the road, the car feels a little more zippy.. It really does..

    Im just so surprised VW wouldnt fit that intake as a stock part...

    With a Forge TIP and K&N/BMC it really allows a chipped GTI to pull cleanly to 6800rmin without that drop of power around 5500rmin that stock intakes have.

    It does not really add that much more power, it just ensures you have the same power over a broader rev range.

    With the TIP and K&N its worth the $500 bucks total spend for a totally different driving experience.

    Johan is right ... the combination gives you the top end you need.

    They used to be $79 when the Polo first came out. SEAT realised everyone was buying them so they jacked up the price to something ridiculous.

    they must be loving the profit margings because there are a lot of people opting for this upgrade. there are a lot of people asking why they don't use this intake from factory, well, this could be one of the reasons why. of course they could, but when you can sell them for ~$170 a pop aftermarket, why put it on in the factory.

    however would it not work out cheaper for VAG manufacturing the one part. i say all cars that use that length intake pipe should be upgraded to the SEAT size.

    hmmm.
    It really wouldnt be that hard to make up something similar for a fraction of the cost. The good thing about the SEAT intake is that it looks OEM.
