The real question is, would the PRL intake hose add any more sound if you already have the K&N filter? I don’t think I want all the sound of the full HVI but just a little more
I have a PRL silicone intake hose /aFe Pro Dry S filter combo on my 1.5T tuned turbo.

The only difference I see is a very slight uptick in throttle response and a bit more sound at or near WOT compared to stock. I realize I don't have an R but you won't be getting much improvement to be honest.

The hose is a little smoother on the inside so it has slightly better throttle response due to the air flowing, how measurable that is debatable. It was more for prettying up the engine bay a bit while I was at it.

I found it made decent improvement in turbo sound.. spooling and blow off.. and looks good too. Can’t go wrong for the price.

It does not add more sound. It's real function is to straighten the air vs the stock tube.

Bad necro, but did you ever get one and find out for yourself? Looking to do the same.

I'm not looking for gains, just some extra spooly sounds. ? Is the prl stage 1 intake a good option? Anyone have feed back on it? However I wouldn't want spooly sounds if this gets hotter then the oem intake parts it replaces. I know they have the HVI but for $129 the stage one seems like a good deal. If I can get a little extra blowoff sounds I'd rather go that route.
I have the HVI. There is no increase in spool noise. There's a large increase in BOV noise

The air rushing through the intercooler is louder than any spool noise
