Are you thinking about upgrading your car's intake system but not sure if you can handle the installation yourself? 

We've got you covered!

In our latest Pipercross YouTube video, we take Ehren, one of our marketers, from behind the camera to learn how to fit a Pipercross PK370 induction kit on a Volkswagen Mk6 Golf GTI. Not only does this make for some funny moments but also gives you all at home a great insight into how and why you should fit an intake kit to your own car.

Why install an aftermarket induction kit?

Upgrading to an aftermarket induction kit has several advantagess:

• Improved Airflow: OEM airboxes can restrict airflow, whereas an induction kit is designed to maximise it.
• Better Performance: Especially in tuned vehicles, an induction kit can help optimise you engine's power output.
• Enhanced Induction Sound: If you love that deep, sporty intake sound, an aftermarket kit can provide just that.

• Open cone air filter
• Silicone hoses
• Replacement heat shield
• Fitting kit with brackets, nuts, bolts, washers, and hose clamps
