I'm considering to get a cold air intake(Carbonio or Evo) for my stock 2003 A4 1.8T. I'm looking to see if anyone here could suggest to me if
there was a very noticible gain in performance in one over the other. The customer service guy from evo told me that I could get a
8-10hp gain if I bought their intake but I haven't heard anything back from the Carbonio guys. Aside from the show quality finish with the
Carbonio is there any additional benefit in investing an extra $100 and get the Carbonio over the evo? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks much in advance

I think the evo ms intake is better, better power gains, no sense in paying extra cash for product branding, IMO. Im looking to get evoms induction on my 02' s4.

paying almost 400 for a intake is just plain crazy in my eye all you are paying for is carbon fiber and a namebrand

I installed the Evo in my 06 A3 today. Nice fit / easy. Not loud and definite performance gain. The Carbonia looks nice but....

Completely agree with stryker, I just installed my carbonio today, head soak is a major problem for intakes, and the carbonio intake has proper insulation from heat. It looks and sounds great, installation could be easier.

I think that the Evoms CAI is really good because its under $300 and it is a very good product. I installed it myself along with a friend and it took about and hour. Just make sure you get a new DV because mine was not happy. Ya, the instuctions are a little horrible but you can do it. I was debating a long time if I should get the Evoms or a Carbonio but if you dont want to spend $400, then get the Evoms.
