How much would a Gruppe M Carbon Induction Airbox set me back for a B7?

Depending on the Ex rate for the Yen, any where new from 700-850 quid, this was last years rates, I sold mine for 300 quid last month....gutted!

Oli was that second hand or new?

intake

Just bought and self installed mine last month. Great purchase in my opinion. Will work better when I get some downpipes and either a milltek exhaust or tubi with remap of ECU.

Looks great..... sounds great and feels more powerful at higher RPMs.

Bought new for 1535 total. Yikes! BUT WORTH IT IMO. :D

£ to power ratio NO, however, £ to noise YES, I had one fitted to my car, was absolutely fantastic, I did not experience a drop in performance (however I did have it i conjunction with a Milltek), The gruppeM gives you a more free revving engine and neck snapping acceleration, Audi Camberley commented on it, said it was one of the "more poky" cars he had test driven. I took it off as I had a buyer, part of the deal with the Exhaust ( as i was planning on selling the car), gutted really!

Sonny...you are not having it back mate, especially when I have the roof down, the noise is too addictive with the miltek as well!!!

It's a great piece of kit but quite pricy so I'd keep a look out for a 2nd hand one, I was lucky!

I'm still considering one to compliment Tubi noise and have been offered at expected price. Quite pricey but told could get better deal if more than one was bought.

How much better a deal?

Wasn't there someone on here recently who reckoned they could fabricate a CF CAI in one of their factories?
