Unlikely, but shouldn't be an issue to cut it out and smooth with a dremel.
Probably better to just swap bigger pipes in if you are going to go to that effort.

Going bigger isn't always better. Turbulence/velocity. I know this from exhausts. To big kills power too.

Much appreciated!
The straightener is in fact molded into the plastic piping, but since it's right there on the edge it should be pretty easily removed. Also Travis brings up a good point as well. If you go too big on the piping you could run into pressure drop, unless of course you're running a tune. Then again, with how tightly packed the MK7's engine bay is, it is a little hard to go too big. We'll have some more info on what we're planning in the way of piping very soon!

Ever thought of building an FMIC. The ones in the market are freaken small so there is a dire need for a large FMIC that will fit. "If you build it, they will come".

Hey Guys!
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm bumping the thread with the next installment of our intercooler pipe development saga! As always, make sure that you head over to the Engineering Blog for the full story!
For those looking to enhance the sporty Golf even further, you might have already taken notice that we’re already on the case by way of cooling the charged air running through your 2.0T. A beefier intercooler is a start, but unfortunately that air doesn’t transfer into our intake manifold via osmosis. Naturally, ducting is still required.
I wasn’t kidding when I said small packages. Peeking under the hood of any of the MK7 variants showcases VW’s ability to use a small space effectively. This all sounds great for producing tens of thousands of these vehicles, but the news isn’t so great when it comes to squeezing every drop of power out of your Golf or GTI. Yes, the space is used effectively, but that means smaller diameters on the current pipes, plenty of bends, and lightweight materials that aren’t exactly conducive to higher boost pressures.
Make sure you head over to the blog to see how our prototype pipes fit under the hood of your MK7!

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to bump this up and let you guys know that we're still plugging away on this project! We're hoping to have samples of our intercooler in soon for testing!

Will do!
It has, admittedly, been a long time in the making, but we want to ensure top-notch quality for you guys before we go to market

Hey Guys,
Bumping this thread up with a long awaited update to this project! While we're still waiting on the first production sample of our intercooler to be finished up, we have been busy on our piping kit! Make sure that you head over to the Engineering Blog for the full scoop!
We also just launched our discounted presale for this pipe kit, so make sure you get in on the sale before it's over!

Unfortunately we did not incorperate a meth injection bung into this design. If you were looking to add one though, our engineering team would be able to give guidance!
Also, I just wanted to bump this up to let you guys know that the presale for the piping has ended, and we have fully launched the kit! Keep your eyes peeled for more info on the intercooler, and full kit coming down the line! A little birdie told me that our production sample should be showing up any day now!
Thanks!

So basically the same cost as everyone else. When rev9 kits can be had for less than $150... Same thing

Hey Guys,
Happy Monday! Back again to bump up this thread with a little update!
We've been graced with the presence of a fresh faced Golf R for some dyno testing! Keep your eyes out in the next few weeks for a first look at our new intercooler design!

Looks good! Need to tell your website guy to put a section at the top of the engineering blog for the VW GTI.
