Product fits great on the car. In my case, 2016 golf R. Expected more intake noise. But that’s not the reason to buy this. Throttle respons is better on a hybride turbo. There were some spacers and a clamp which we didn’t know where to put. So we left is aside. Don’t regret paying 127€ for shipping. ALSO YOU GET STICKERS

Got the 7” fmic (08-335i)install was pretty spot on up until connecting stock intercooler hoses. All I did was remove the fan for more room and got rid of the rubber piece on the fan that holds the hose and you’re good !

Product is and shipping

Prices and how fast it made it to me.

Made things right almost instantly would recommend

I purchased an intake for my mk7.5 gti and the sai filter was missing but you guys hooked me up sent me one in a few days free of charge so thank you. The fitment of the heat shield was a little off but works for what it is. Induction noise is 🔥 and I’m in love. The grommets for the shield already got shredded from me trying to position it in the best position I could but you can’t even tell tbh.

Fast shipping and product was not damaged, definitely feel the difference while maintaining close to stock exhaust note for normal driving yet deeper when in sport or flooring it . Only thing negative is not a true bolt-on catless dp for the bmw n20 motor. I had to purchase a exhaust pipe adapter with 2 1/2 reduced to 2 1/4 so that it would slide over the dp and slide in the oem midpipe. Also flange on dp to turbo was thicker than stock so using original v-band clamp was a pain I recommend buying a new one. Only lower transmission bracket lined up on the dp but might work if you remove or loosen bracket on tranny.

The intercooler itself is a really nice unit. I got the graphite color and it looks great. It's a little more stealthy than a silver one, but not invisible like black would probably be. The pipes are metal, which is better than silicone, in my opinion. And in the few short drives I've taken so far, it does what it's supposed to do. Temps are waaaay down compared to stock. Unfortunately I think the directions are garbage. You'll need two 13mm wrenches to complete the job, and I found their clamps to use 7/16" nuts, which A) aren't metric like the rest of the kit & car, and B) isn't mentioned in the instructions. There are also 6 plastic pieces that have to be removed that aren't mentioned at all. The pictures they provide could be better and more complete. And my car has the secondary air pump which gets in the way of the drivers side pipe. CTS provides a bracket and bolt to swing it out of the way, but ARM does not, nor do they mention this potential issue. Those details would have helped, but they're not enough to keep me from recommending this FMIC. Overall I'm happy with the end result, and for the price, it's very hard to beat.
