@@baburgess I put the cover on shortly after and did lose a little noise, but it keeps a bit more of the hot air out which is nice. I also installed the APR intercooler with the entire hose kit. The turbo muffler delete alone brings the turbo noises back to life by a lot
@@christophersilva1646 hey! I have the Milltek high flow catted downpipe and the milltek Road+ system. I love it, it does get pretty loud on a cold start and when you’re stepping on it. For road trips I find it great too, doesn’t drone and you can still have conversations inside of the car if you’re driving 75 mph or less. Basically you get the best of both worlds. The stock pops and bangs with this exhaust is crazy loud too
The most difficult part for me (not including the coolant reroute hose which was surprisingly simple) was actually fitting the filter to the lip in the box. Bent my fins on mine
The ring that is on the lip in the box that i guess allows the filter to seat really securely got in the way. I pulled it off and effortlessly put the filter on. I ordered a new filter cause of the OCD lol
Dude, that is the most frustrating thing in bent one of the fins too! But luckily it’s facing down so I can’t see it 😂. Thanks a bunch for watching the video! The intake makes the turbo sound so much better
Hello Nice tutorial. I am trying to install my CIA on my Arteon 2.0T and the intake hose rear clamp is positioned in the lower part next to a connector. It's impossible to try to loosen the bolt. I have tried every tool. Sockets don't fit, right angled screw driver don't fit. Really frustrated with this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! That is super frustrating that you can’t get the clamp off. A few tricks that i can think of is - try to reach it from under the car if you can put it on jackstands. Not ideal, but you’ll be able to loosen and reposition. - I’ve had to work with some allen keys held by a closed 1/4 wrench to get in some real tight spots - maybe a socket with some locking pliers - last resort would be to remove the connector if you can I hope this helps, let me know!
Thank you for posting this. You made it look easy with your step by step instructions. I have a 2023 GTI S, and am thinking about doing the same, but might need a professional to do it for me.
Of course, thanks man! I'm far from being a professional mechanic, but this was so easy to install I figured I'd try to do it myself. I'm happy I did because it's way more fun and rewarding knowing I did it. If you want to shoot me a message, I can walk you through the steps on a FaceTime call or something, happy to help you out
No blowoff valve! That's just the sounds that comes with the new intake. I thought about adding a BOV, but after hearing it with just the intake, I figured I didn't need it.
These are a great bang for your buck intake and sound great! We'd be happy to help with any future mods and we have a huge catalog of stuff available for the MK8 GTI's!
