Being 40, and with a car seat in the back of my R, I'm not exactly looking for a loud intake. I put a drop in AFE filter and am considering an inlet pipe. It looks like many will not work on a stock intake. Is anyone running one that will fit the stock intake system?

If you're talking about the actual inlet pipe and not the pipe leading to it, most aftermarket inlet pipes will work with the stock intake hose. APR, CTS, Unitronic etc. Integrated Engineering will not fit since it changes the size to 3".

Great study. I think the hose/inlet combination makes the most sense in what would create the most power.

Isn’t this one supposed to be the best according to empirical evidence?

Best of them, APR, Uni, and BMS anyway, at least from a pure flow standpoint. Went with a drop-in filter, CTS TIP and inlet hose since they're cheap and intakes are just there for engine bay bling and noise anyway.

I recently installed the MST Performance Inlet Kit on my GTI and couldn't be happier with the quality. Everything fit great and got rid of that ugly accordion hose while giving a larger diameter inlet and pipe. I'm running it with the stock front airbox and an aFe Pro Dry S drop-in filter. Maybe a touch louder than the stock TIP, but very, very minimal. Same kit appears to fit the R according to BMP's application chart.
