ARE PERFORMANCE AIR FILTERS WORTH IT??? | Fitting a Racingline R600 Airbox to the MK3 Audi TT

Ғылым және технология

Today I'm in the shop working on the TT. Induction kits have moved on quite a bit over the years, I test out Racingline's R600 intake system for cars based on the MQB platform, in this case my MK3 Audi TT.
What's all the fuss about? is it worth doing?

    This reminds me of fitting a cherry bomb exhaust to my Astra and driving home with the windows down and going through every tunnel I could 😂 In the infamous words of Jeremy Clarkston “increase in noise!!! No increase in speed !!” I love the joy car engine noises bring to big kids… what are we going to do after 2030 😢

    Nice addition but just don’t know if it’s worth the money vs what it actually does. If I do buy one, it’s the carbon apr one as it’s so nice to look at too. Great video 🙌🏼

    Thanks mate, yeah as I say, if you are doing other mods it will be worth it. Maybe not if its just for the noise. Carbon one looks good. Pricey though 😊

    Well that's all good and stuff like that however tsfi engines are notorious for carbon build up in intake valves, that should be first "mod" you should do is blast them clean if you haven't or previous owner haven't done that.

    The pipe on the bottom of the air filter is to let moisture out put a snorkel on a 4x4 and it does the same except its like a forced air system

    What you need is a TTRS. I had a 2022 TTS, but it wasn’t like the big brother. Picked up a 2021 TTRS about 30 days ago. Just had a stage 1 tune and a transmission tune from United Motorsports on Friday. Installed a CTS air intake yesterday. It sure hits 100mph quick. Great video👍

    i dont understand why not buy a ttrs 400bhp as standard .good for 600bhp.a 2ltre tt will never be as quick. plus i would guess insurance costs would be cheaper on a standard rs than a highley modified tt. suspect you are making shed loads from you tube. so fair play

    A TTRS is about 50K currently for one the same age as my car. Yes they are amazing cars. This TT will be quicker than a stock one by the time I'm finished with it and that's a lot of bang for the buck. I know they can be modded as well but for that money I would probably buy an R8. Ultimate dream is the R8 V10 plus with Twin turbos!
