|  CAI or not Finally just had the car remapped which I'm loving  But when getting done the guy was "Get that **** pipe took off" - my cold air induction kit. What he was saying was dump it and buy a green panel filter or something as I'll be loosing a few bhps due to it.. So my question is should I take note of him or just leave my CAI fitted ? Whats peoples thoughts ? ? ?

| Re: CAI or not So bit of a mixed bag then. Think it might stay just for the noise (oh and the greater power gains later on in life haha)

| Re: CAI or not I had a CAI on my Octavia and imho, the only benefits to be had were the noise and when I got up around the 5000 rpm mark. Down at max torque, the car felt slower than standard setup. I took the advice of the guys here, smoothed the air box and put in a decent panel filter. Improvements can be felt throughout the rev range |
