New 2006 Jetta 2.5 (inline 5 cycl). What is the best Air Intake and Muffler to install on this Jetta? What are the benefits & drawbacks? Any suggestions on best place to purchase?

 

I installed a cold air intakein my 2002 VR6 Jetta and had a tough time installing the unit. I really had to work it in there. The filter was just above the right tire which was great because it was low to the ground and got a lot of air. I actually purchased a custom off of ebay. Looked pretty cool.

BUT...
In the rain, I would suck up water from puddles. Actually ended up flooding my engine and had to remove the whole unit because I didnt want it to happen again.

*So if you put a cold air filter in, figure out a way to get it inside the wheel well so that it is protected/covered.

Good luck! If you want mine, I only had it in for 2 months haha.
