Install time was around 40 minutes. Not bad for techs who haven’t installed something like this before. The R600 has a nice improvement over stock for one primary reason. The MK7 stock intake only has one side of the plastic open to air flow. The R600 replaces the plastic piece behind the grill and both holes are wide open and all air is pulled directly into the intake via a pre-oiled filter.

During Race Mode intense acceleration, the noise from the intake is noticeable over stock…considerably louder. I can’t comment on any power gains but it sounds great, looks OEM and will improve air flow just by design alone. For now, I recommend it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
