do this:

completely rip out stock air box and stick a nice cone filter on your MAF. if you want to elaborate a little, go ahead and get your self a couple heat-shield plates. save your $300+

I agree, make sure however to get some brackets so the whole thing is not flopping around. you will also need to get a small oil breether type filter for the SAI pump (the maller hose connected to the airbox)

I did that same thing in my last jetta. I took a small sheet of steel and cut out a hole for the maf then bent a 90 at the base to attatch it to the car, painted it black and threw it on with a cone in place of the stock airbox. Very simple budget mod although it doesn't do anything really besides dressing up your bay.

By the way my splitter is noticeable inside the car with stage one but I cant remember how many clicks I adjusted it. I'd assume though with more boost it should be even more noticeable. Just take some time to play with it a bit.

im stock and i have no intake and i have it set on no clicks. the thing is its not O.D. loud but its loud under load like second gear especially.

I bought Mikes heat shield package with a AMSOIL cone filter for $140 shipped. I think it was a good deal and have been very happy with it. I have an EVOMS DV and everyone says it sounds awesome, much louder with a cone vs the stock box. I don't know if its just me but I also felt better acceleration after the change to a cone type filter. Oh I have my stock box for sale with an almost new K&N drop in filter if anyone is interested.
