Rothe Intake System

[George Smooth]

Another option has been released for the 7 R. Going to give this one a shot, its aesthetically pleasing and looks like it collects air from the whole front of the car.

That is one sexy looking intake. I'm afraid to look at prices though.

They have it listed on their website for both 7 and GTI fitment. I will test fit it on both cars and see.

Its one of those if you have to ask items. Retail is over 1000 Euro. Impulse buy for me

I would have thought it will be VERY close to the washer bottle.

The pipe going over the box turns down at stock position so width wise it seems fine, their filter cover also tapers on the right side so I am sure fitment will work.
I have compared the stock GTI and R intake systems including the box and they are the same.

Over 1000?! The gain to price ratio is awful! Looks nice, but not that nice! Probably the best looking one I've seen mind...

Nice intake, probably over price for what it is.

Its early days for the model so guys are going to pricing things accordingly. Will give feedback once I receive it quality wise and what kind of advantages the front section has.

I am making a ghetto style intake from PVC pipe with a fat K&N filter to test vs this unit.

Sure, i guess if you guys like to pay $700 for an intake.
