Got my Leather Wrap Steering Wheel Cover today..... Now I just need to re-watch the youtube install video a few hundred more times and some courage to tackle this thing.

The hose itself offers better airflow and I'm sure some gains. But it's more beneficial to just buy an SRI or CAI.
As someone with an SRI, I will say that the hose probably offers better flow and keeps IATs lower than an SRI that sucks in 150 degree air in the summer, but the SRI sounds significantly better because of the open air filter. The turbo noises are worth it, the IATs are not lol

This is true. I was thinking the other day how ridiculous it was that I was waiting for some 80 degree days lol. December will be good for these turbos. Youll have to drive north to experience it lol

I also have a k&n filter I only purchased the hose to complete the kit. As has been said already it helps to smooth out the air flow. I did notice the difference in throttle response with my 6MT hatch. There is also a whistle/whine sound at low Rpm’s that wasn’t there before the PRL hose install.
My car whistles even without a K&N! Where do you purchase yours?
