Injen's EVOLUTION intake system replaces your Mk7's restrictive factory airbox with a larger, stand-alone filter chamber and a reusable dry filter — the largest SuperNano-Web dry element Injen makes. The housing is cross-linked polyethylene, built to handle underhood heat without the durability tradeoffs of some open-element intakes.
It's a direct-fit install: it mounts to the factory locations, uses the included stainless hardware and automotive-grade couplers, and doesn't require any cutting or modification. Injen dyno-tunes the complete system (not just the filter) to verify horsepower and torque gains before it ships, so what you're buying is a tested system rather than a single swapped part.

FAQ
Will this void my warranty?
Aftermarket intakes don't automatically void your factory warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act — VW would need to show the intake caused the specific failure being claimed. That said, always check with your dealer if your car is still under factory coverage.
Does this require a tune to see gains?
No. Injen dyno-tests the complete system on a stock engine to verify a safe gain, so it works as a stand-alone upgrade. If you're already running a tune, an intake commonly complements it, but check your tune provider's supported modification list.
Is the filter reusable, or do I need replacements?
It's a dry SuperNano-Web filter — reusable and washable, not a disposable paper element. The built-in filter minder makes it easy to check when it needs cleaning.
Does this fit both the Golf and Golf Sportwagen?
Yes, both are listed for this part. Confirm your specific engine and model year with us before ordering if you're outside the 2015 model year listed.
Is installation something I can do myself, or does it need a shop?
It's designed as a bolt-on: factory mounting points, included hardware, no cutting or splicing. Most people with basic hand tools can do it in an afternoon.
