    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.

    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.

    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!
