Ok, first of all, are they worthe it, do they have better air flow then stock, and second, does the oil on them harm any sensors or anything, thanks...i want to do airbox mod with KN drop in

 

I just bought one for my car and you can really hear the turbo and the bov... the oil wont hurt anything... just don't oil them to much...

 

Music to my ears, I was just getting ready to buy one as well and your post seals it.

Thanks.

Upon further review, I am reading that Amsoil is a better brand and offers more performance gains (albeit small gains for either) than a K&N.
Anyone care to chime in here??

Ah. Also, please note that I am referring to my A4, B7 Model.

 

im talkin about panel drop in for a b5

 

K&N drop in will be fine with your B5 just go easy on the oil when it comes time to re-charge it...

 

OK, same question on my B7.
If I throw the K&N 33-2209 Air Filter into my new A4......is it a waste of $45?
Is there a better brand to consider?

The potential mods that are available for my A4 has turned me into someone that simply wants to put gas into it and drive it - to an anxious madman that wants to do as many minimally invasive upgrades and tweaks as I can to the car.

Keeping in mind that I am a first time Audi owner and I have had my car for exactly 4 weeks today. (It sat in the garage for the first 3 weeks that I had it because I was putting miles on a BMW that was coming to the end of a lease.)
Here are the list of mods that I am considering.

My to-do list:

New Air Filter ( K&N or ???)
New front plate panel (Audi OEM # 8E0807287D 3FZ BLACK - Thank you clconversion)
New DV (Forge or Baileys)
APR ECU upgrade (If Waterfest would ever friggin' get here)
Painted Lower back panel
E-Code Test Pipe (....maybe)
Coilovers (....maybe)
New Tires
Clear Corners (If I ever get the nerve up)
Tint
Small rear spoiler (eBay version, $100)

Total expected cost - Approx. $2,350 + Unmeasurable damage to my sanity and my marriage.

And it's STILLLLL almost $6k cheaper than my 330i was brand new.
