I have one, I really didn't run into any fitment issues, and it sounds great!
Cold starts have been fine too.

Zero issues since day one, been on the car for 14 months. Sound is great, good spool sound and makes a decent blow off sound when you wind it up.
Edit-just flashed in bm3 stg1 and these sound amazing. They sounded good before but now 😊 |

+1 for MST.
The only problem I could mention is on my extra hot Paul E85 tune I can get MAF errors since it pulls so much air. Paul said it's normal for extra hot tunes with some open intakes. Running all other OTS and normal Custom E85 was no problemo. If you run silicone CPs make sure that the box-top screws don't dig into your tubes. Just loosen the CP and twist so it pulls clear, then retighten. Sound is great. |

I know this is a tough question to answer since it's so subjective, but wondering if folks feel like the MST intake is a BIT louder than completely stock (w/ charcoal filters) or a LOT louder? I think it's what I'm looking for in terms of extra noise, but it's so hard to tell in the various youtube videos. Worried it might be a bit too much.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Great to hear that it's not obtrusive or "over the top". I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm considering it mostly from an engine bay bling perspective. Plus thought it would be a fun DIY project--looked pretty easy in the vids.

Makes efficient mode with valves closed sound much more interesting, like a BOV whenever you gas and let off. Totally worth the money. No issues with the install, fitment, or idle.

Fitted mine today and sound is great it does catch on the strut bar though which is annoying !
I might have a play and see if I can adjust it but doesn't look like there's much adjustment tbh |

Did you get the metal box tops all the way down in the grooves in the plastic box bottoms? I had one box top a little crooked until I lined up the grooves real good and pushed an edge in better.
