All intakes are loud as hell... which makes them very annoying. If anyone made a cold air intake that didnt make a sound, I would consider buying it.

 

As I mentioned in my post with the pics of my car,on my 2.6 I kept the standard airbox, cut a 70mm hole in it and ran a coldair pipe (70mm) down to the lower grill (the one that is removable to gain access to the towing eye). When standing in front of the car u can hear the air been sucked in through the new pipe.


I'm considering running anouther pipe straight out the bottom of the airbox into the wheel well, my only concern with this will be road dirt comming off the front wheel - Might just need more frequant filter changes. Im also going to try and get a conefilter in the standard airbox and do away with the paper filter.

 

Rain is not really a problem for cold air intakes. Puddles are, however. You'd need to literally soak your filter to get to the point of engine hydrolock. Are intakes really annoying sounding on Audis? I think they sound great on the E36/most other applications!

i think mine sounds pretty good, it kinda sounds like a turbocharger. You can hear it sucking in air, and it also had a sort of hollow rumble
