Woah bro! Amazing intake review! Thanks for the recommendation. Ordered it!

Happy you're enjoying the air intake!! I've worked at APR for 2 years and sure happy to come into work everyday! I'm getting the GLI Autobahn for my next ride🫡

Nice, such a detailed video! It sounds good y’all did a good job installing that

Thanks!

I called the splash guards “Rally Art” but I meant Rally Armor. Links for all the parts discussed in the video are in the description. I do not have any exhaust modifications to the car; just the intake. I showed the sound from behind the car anyway because there is a throatier sound after the intake - but that’s really just the engine sounding louder. Still, you can hear a slight difference overall. The real sound differences are when accelerating under load and letting off the throttle; you can hear the the turbo and the intake sounds so much better now. Also, sport mode does pipe exhaust sound into the interior but I did not use that mode for most of the interior shots filmed here - so as to not distract from the natural sounds. After upgrading the intake, you will not hear a difference to the interior exhaust amplification because the microphone for that system is further back in the exhaust where the intake noises do not reach. You’ll only hear the intake at relatively low speeds while accelerating under load. At highway speed, it’s mostly washed out by wind noise and the lower load distributed by the longer gearing. Let me know what exhaust or other mods I should focus on next!

whoa, mind blown

super rad car! It beat both the Mk8 GTI and Mk8 Golf R a few years ago at Lightning Lap .. i believe the video is here on YT

I have a 2021 Jetta SE 1.4 L, do you think this would fit?

Now, how is the fuel consumption with that intake

Will it fit a 2024?

I'd assume it didn't throw any codes? Not sure if there's are maf sensors or anything like that that connect to it.

No man sensor, only a map. It won't throw any weird codes.

That’s right no codes.

I have the same GLI, even the same color, but mine is 2023, am I gonna have any trouble with the warranty if I install a K&N cold air intake kit? it hasn't its first oil change yet, greetings from Mexico.

Hello! I cannot speak on behalf of VW warranty administration, but I have had my car into the dealership for warranty claims as recently as 40k miles without issue. To be fair, none of my claims have had to do with anything directly related to the engine or intake. I have noticed low oil light comes on between oil changes and I have to add a quart of VW-approved oil. I cannot say whether that is attributed to the new intake. APR is a good brand for VW bolt-ons. I am not sure if a K&N intake would cause more scrutiny or not.

Does something like this add any horsepower? I have 2017 gli

No it doesn’t add power. It would help with a tune however which I have not done. I feel like there was better throttle responsiveness but not sure if that’s just my mind playing tricks on me because of the sound you can hear a lot better. With a tune, you can take advantage of the superior flow (apparently) but it already has forced induction with the turbo so idk. Bottom line, no appreciable difference with an intake alone.

is everything stock besides the intake?

It’s mirrored because of the front facing camera on my phone. I wasn’t able to mount it with the correct framing so I needed to use the front camera to see

That "Secondary air intake " is a drain for moisture out of the original airbox , that thing is doing nothing other than begging to get caught in your fan.

I thought of that and shortly after took it to my dad’s shop where it was safely secured out of the way permanently.

The smudges, man. Fortunately it has since been replaced because of a crack.

All aftermarket intakes cause nothing but problems down the road.

These cars use a MAP. The only issue an open intake can cause on these is heatsoak, which a good intercooler can solve.

Hot air intake

@@juvnchy I think unlike a generic “filter on a stick” APRs is good because it hooks up to the existing outside air inlets so it does get airflow and not solely engine compartment hot air. I do not have any way to verify this though. I’d think APR would have that info but idk if there are 3rd party tests
