| I recently bought a 06 3.6 Passat and am looking to get a intake for her, I called K&N but unfortunately they do not manufacture one for my engine. Does anyone have any ideas where I can get it or ideas what to do? I want to get better performance |

also...what do you mean by "intake".....a stock intake manifold?....the air inlet trunking?....a "cold air" performance intake?
By the way...for stock, stock-ish and some aftermarket parts....ECS tuning is a great place to shop.

Here is the intake parts list for 2006 passat/3.6L v-6/front wheel drive (the B-6 chassis) at ECS tuning. Ray |

| Most aftermarket "Intake systems" are good for more noise, but don't always equate to more power, and some actually hurt power. They can also "confuse" the ECU and cause a MIL in the process of making more noise. Unless there are real numbers from a third party, it's mostly the marketing guys spewing BS. |

There are the "performance" intakes that draw pre-heated air from the engine bay & then the others that draw air from the bottom of the bumper area that I call "cold water intakes". These are great for modifying connecting rod lengths. While I like K&N filters, they & other oiled filters are known for contaminating air mass meters.
