Review on Injen SP3026P Cold Air Intake System: Optimize Performance and Efficiency by James Maruffo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent value for money.

Excellent air intake. Fits well with minimal effort. My only issue (and I'd like to point out anyone with a 2008 VW Rabbit who is looking to buy this air intake) was that my 2008 Rabbit doesn't have an intake air temperature sensor. There is an input for the sensor on the intake housing next to the filter. I was able to connect it using the supplied hose and an E&J Brandy XO cap. I also had to fiddle with the bottom breather tube a bit because I wasn't getting good leverage. (The radiator prevented me from reaching it at the perfect angle.) Other than that; a noticeable increase in throttle response, a strong guttural growl above 2500 rpm, and an average 2 increase in fuel economy (from 25 to 27). Just buy a foam filter cap and soak it in 2-stroke oil before riding in wet weather. or remove and replace when you have time.

Pros
  • Air intake
Cons
  • Wrinkled
