What kind of filter are you using in the Euro box?

Both add to sound. I already had the silicone hose installed, and the euro box adds to that. Using a Mahle OEM filter.

Idk what it adds, but with the stock box that little hose made a difference. I really need to get the car dyno'd again to see what my intake and exhaust do

Just found a euro box on ebay.co.uk, couldn't pass it up. I already have the silicone intake tube so it'll be cool to hear what the difference is from just the air box swap.

Definitely curious to see what your feedback is on the sound and power/response front!

I have this and it sounds great, but I got it used for like half price. I don't know if I could pay $400 for it. I like the dry filter and it seems to have held up well.

I have to say, I didn't really notice a difference in power or sound from the euro box down low but it does seem to open up a bit more in the upper RPM.

That being said, it was completely worth doing just to have easier access to clean or change the air filter.

I definitely recommend keeping an eye on the european Ebay sites, I got mine for $60 shipped from a seller in Lithuania. Bit of a gamble I suppose but it showed up and bolted right in with no issues.
