Is it worth it?

At the very least it probably makes the intake a little louder.

Take one for the team?

I took the intake boxes apart the other day. No carb filter and the stock panel has a lot of surface area, no wire mesh either. The box is completely closed, The only way to get more noise is to either replace the system with a cone style such as the K&N typhoon or, Remove the intake front plate connecting the outside air ducking to the intake housing. I will have to take some pictures of this mod. I gained a little bit more turbo spool noise.

Please do. I'm interested in seeing what you're talking about.

Great!!...In my opinion it is worth it, there is no true CAI available yet for the 3.3TT, everything currently available is a WAI. These will not only improve throttle response but will also need no replacement for a while, all you need to do is clean them with the cleaner kit and you are good to go.

I think I would get these instead of the typhoons for the reason robz32 mentioned.

Plus it's easier and I'm lazy.

Well there goes $110. We'll update when they arrive later this week. Will take pics and stuff when I install them.

I JUST GOT BACK AN EMAIL FROM THEM TELLING ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE A DROP-IN!

AARRRRRGGGHHHH!!

 

[Kazz]

And, FWIW, once verified, I WILL be ordering these.

 

[robz32]

@Kazz any word on K&N making an oil filter for the 3.3TT?

 

[Kazz]

I didn't ask. I'll try to remember whenever they reply to my reply that pointed out the link above. LOL

I have bought the K and N drop in filter for many cars. At least it saves some $ over the life of the car. It is supposed to increase air flow and give a slight increase in power. Also, if you do autocross for SCCA, after market air intake, like the Typhoon, puts you in a different bracket.

Should be slightly increased volume of the blow-off/diverter valve, as well. Not a lot, but some.

Still waiting to hear back from K&N. Putting the part number in a search engine, following a link to the UK website gets the generic part. Clicking on Vehicle applications it only mentions the '18 Stinger - but denotes left side airbox. Sure hope they're the same on both sides for goodness sakes.

The factory panel is identical to the K&N version

Part number for left filter is 33-5067.
Part number for right filter is 33-5068.
