Enhance your intake system to its fullest potential with our ECS Tuning Performance Air Inlet Scoops! Strategically placed within the grille, these help to grab and direct ambient air right into your aftermarket or modified OEM intake system’s opening.
The factory MK7 GTI grille leaves provisions that allow intake air into the inlet duct on the passenger side but leaves out a direct flow-path to the air inlet on the driver’s side. With so many DIY’ers modifying their OEM grille to allow for a more direct route on the driver’s side, our Product Development Team saw an opportunity to serve the aftermarket with a clean, OEM-type solution that not only provides for a cleaner install, but directs cool outside air directly into the driver’s side air intake passage for the most direct air path.
To help you achieve the best results during installation each kit includes a side-specific, adhesive-backed vinyl trim template that aligns to OEM features on the grille. Once in place, the scoop opening can then be easily cut open with a dremmel or hack saw/drill combo.
On MK7.5 GTI’s both sides of the grille are vented so the scoops can be used without the trim plates (if desired) and do not need trimming. They can easily be bolted directly to the grille for maximum airflow into the air intake system.
