W8 Passat Heat Shield and Amsoil Cone Filter

This is my new heat shield I fabricated from two pieces of 22g sheet metal. The filter stays MUCH cooler now! Sorry for the crappy vid....

Definitely NOT a Spectre air filter. AMSOIL, like the description says....

About 5000 were made with 4.0L 8 cyl engines. And yes, its very fast!

True. I sliced just the bottom of my airbox off, cut off some stupid valves,and it runs great. Has a nice sound, much better throttle response, and with K&N burns less fuel.

Guys, W8 Passat have enough air flow coming in from stock filter, it was made perfect unlike other cars. The only thing you can do to the intake is get a K&N drop-in filter to replace the paper one, that's it. Cold air intake will ruin your W8. Unless you have a civic! Lol

Can you PM me directions to making this...or a kit???

Thank you!

Looks good. I dont care what others say, that is a good looking install. If you find the performance isnt there, you can always go to another brand of filter, In addition to that, the W8 Filter housing is a pain in the butt to deal with, This would make it so much easier.. Good goin.

@urbex2007 - Apparently you're not familiar with the new cutting-edge nanofiber technology air filters.

@bioplasmik Just 5000? Damn! I want one!

[urbex2007]

@zappatx excellent if you don't want correctly filtered air going in to the engine. Don't fall for adverts run by sales people. They direct them at the lowest intelligence range of the car world and every single one falls for it. Why remove a perfectly good paper filter that is oversized and supplies the engine with more air than can be used at full RPM? Do you even know how intake tubes and air filter housings alter the torque and power characteristics? i thought not, you keep wasting money.

[urbex2007]

oh dear, you were conned with that air filter - it's surface area is 13 times smller than the vastly oversized paper one. So the holes in yours are 13+ times bigger to allow the same amount of air through as a paper one. You are restricting performance and sandblasting the engine. Yours also degrades performance rapidly after a few hundred miles due to the 1ft surface area becoming clogged up. I wish people like you were not so gullible and would learn about filtration and gasflow.
