Looking for a Cold air intake for my Audi B7 A4 3.2 Quattro
Hi guys I have been looking around for a cold air intake for my Audi for a few days now and i'm coming up short on every website! Is there a cold air intake for my kind of car or what? I am just looking to get that added turbo whistle and i guess the little bit of horsepower gain. Really going for sound and ascetics though and I cant find one anywhere. Help would be much appreciated!

I have heard that finding anything performance related for a 3.2 is difficult. I am not aware of any CAI for them. I checked ECS Tuning and K&N both don't show anything. Only think I could find was a K&N air filter.

I believe APR has an intake for the 3.2, however, I don't know if you are looking to get any performance benefit from it, but the airbox already draws cold air from the front of the car, right next to the grill (unless that duct piece is missing which it is on alot of cars). it is undeniable that a nice intake makes a statement under the hood, but there is very little benefit to one on an A4 unless you are doing some serious tuning. Even so, the stock airbox on the A4 is almost the exact same size and configuration that is found in the S4. I was able to bolt an S4 airbox into my A4 2.0T no problem. and if the A4 airbox is good enough for that 40 valve 4.2 V8, I don't see the reason to upgrade. Unless you just want the looks or you are seriously tuning the car.
Not trying to bash anyone, but just something to know beforehand that not many people do. Also, if you just want the noise, take off the ducting that goes from the box to the front of the car. Something else to consider with an aftermarket intake is that they can cause check engine lights for the mass airflow sensor unless you get an aftermarket tune.
Again, not trying to bash anyone, but just some things to consider!
Best of luck finding something you like!
