aem will not work with a GT only ST
that front mount.....don't waste the money if you really want sumthing that will work take advice from LEW and the VW guys....... drop in k&n air filter, remove all that plastic crap in your fender, and if you really want to make it cool, then run a 3" tube from your front bumper up the fender and into your stock box |

People are talking about this intake as being bad on response- - i guess due to the long piping...?...anyway, since you have it on your car...does it mess with any of the performance aspects?

no it adds to the the performance...i really didn't notice any loss of throttle response do to the fact my intake was 3" so i got more air volume then everyone's typical 2.5"....and it helped mid to hid rpm range being cold air so i give a CAI a thumbs up
but really just do a k&n drop in air filter, with removed fender wall crap that will be the best bet |

I just bought this cai...
Ebay Item number: 7993563772 it is specifically for my 2.2 L GT...so it will work out great...i would have gone with the arospeed thing...but local shops wanted to see it...so i'd have to buy it...and hourly in local shops here is like $80...so it would have a hefty final price tag...plus...this one won't have so many bends...and it's a 3 in. piping...take a look at it..copy.paste it into ebay search! ---i'll post a picture once i get it in!

dude you got ripped off ($140!!!)...you could have bought piping, sillicone hoses and clamps with a k&n filter (even a apexi filter) for allot less. but as long as your happy, props to you.
