Does the SF Intake System for MK7 Volkswagen models need a tune?

No. The GTI, Golf R and A7 Jetta GLI calculate airflow by speed density, so COBB states tuning is not specifically required with the SF Intake System for MK7 models. It is compatible with every COBB off-the-shelf map and Stage Power Package, so an Accessport owner can keep running the current map. The Accessport is sold separately.

Is this intake legal in California?

Yes. COBB lists the SF intake as legal for sale and use on emissions controlled vehicles in all 50 states when installed according to the COBB application guide, because it carries California Air Resources Board Executive Order numbers D-660-30, D-660-50 and D-660-103.

Will it fit a Mk8 GTI or Golf R?

No. Confirmed fitment covers the Mk7 and Mk7.5 Golf, GTI and Golf R, the Mk7 Golf SportWagen and Alltrack, and the 2019 to 2021 A7 Jetta GLI. Mk8 Volkswagen models use a different engine bay layout and are not listed for part number 7V2150.

Does the filter need replacing?

No. The intake ships with a pre-oiled filter that COBB describes as reusable, so it can be cleaned and re-oiled rather than thrown away. Let the element dry fully after cleaning and re-oiling before refitting it to the aluminum airbox.

Will the engine sound different?

Yes. With the restrictive factory airbox and tubing removed, more induction and turbocharger noise reaches the cabin under load, which is a large part of the appeal for many owners. At a steady highway cruise the change is far more modest.

Description

COBB Tuning SF Intake System for MK7 Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Golf R and A7 Jetta GLI

COBB Tuning’s SF Intake System for MK7 Volkswagen hatchbacks and the A7 Jetta GLI swaps the factory airbox and intake tract for a custom aluminum airbox, a pre-oiled reusable filter and 3 inch molded silicone tubing, and it is covered by CARB Executive Orders for all 50 states. Because these engines meter air by speed density, the intake goes on without a dedicated map, which makes it an easy first part for a stock car and a sensible companion to a Stage 1 or Stage 2 Accessport tune.

Design and Performance

The factory intake on the EA888 cars places a fair amount of restriction ahead of the turbocharger. COBB designed the SF Intake System for MK7 platforms to cut those pre-turbo losses, letting the engine work more efficiently and giving the turbo more headroom when a tune asks for additional boost. The larger tract also brings out more turbocharger sound under load.

Features

3 inch molded silicone intake tubing in black
Custom aluminum airbox with laser etched COBB logo
Wrinkle black powder coated finish on the airbox
Pre-oiled filter that can be cleaned and reused
Integrated air ducting feeding the enclosed filter housing

What’s Included

Aluminum airbox
Pre-oiled intake filter
Molded silicone intake tubing

About COBB Tuning

COBB Tuning was founded by Trey Cobb in 1999 in Rockwall, Texas, as a Subaru performance shop in the back of his father’s tire shop, and is now headquartered in Austin, Texas. In 2004 COBB introduced the Accessport, a handheld ECU tuning device that flashes COBB’s off-the-shelf maps or a custom tune and doubles as a real-time gauge and datalogger. The range has since grown from Subaru to Ford, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Toyota platforms, with intakes, intercoolers, exhausts and flex fuel kits engineered alongside the tuning, and many COBB parts carry California Air Resources Board Executive Order numbers for use in all 50 states.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
