Hi,

I'm looking for the ABY plastic intake that goes from IC to throttle body. Would like it in good working order

Bump

I've got one in the garage, if I can find it.. its not going back on the car, thats for damn sure (:

[Jonas_R]

That would be great, need to have my car look as standard as possible.

New rules in Denmark are coming so if you get stopped by the police and the car looks like it has been altered to much you can risk the chance that they impound the car and hand it over to the danish tax office. Then you can be loooking at fine in the sum of the registration fee which is around 6000£ for a S2

Anyhow if you have one, PM me the price and shipping cost.

WOAH !

I am confused though, I have owned 3 and I am sure they have all been metal and OE item so surely they could not prove that it didn't leave the factory with one ?

Late ABY and RS2 had plastic intake pipes

[Jonnybravo]

Sadly neither of my cars are that late I don't think.

I will still check for you though

[Jonas_R]

It is not because of the pipe itself
But a polished steel pipe vs a plastic pipe. Then the plastic pipe will look more stock I'm also changing to black silicon hoses to avoid drawing suspicion to myself.

[Jonnybravo]

Ah I see, my last one was painted black, it did look plastic, quite sure both of these are black so assumed they are metal.

I have it, its confirmed by the others in the garage.. but I dont have a picture until I get over there..


However.. if its just a question about it looking standard, just paint yours in satin/subdued/matt black ? that would make it look plastic/original !

Plastic is better since it stays much cooler than the steel pipe. I replaced my steel pipe with plastic and painted it silver (and put reflective aluminum tape on the underside). The original steel pipe would get so hot that I could fry eggs on it, while the plastic one stays much cooler, reducing the interheater effect of the intake system.
Lighter too.
