Question B8 3.2L Performance Parts?

Hi all,

I know that a lot of parts maker makes stuff for the 2.0T, I was wondering if there is anything out there for the 3.2L? I am not really looking at installing anything major, just want some more simple mods like intake systems and exhaust systems. I have searched around and all I can find are stuff for the 2.0T.

There has to be some 3.2L lovers out there!!! Right???

I'd go for an exhaust but I'd like to keep my 100k warranty intact

Where is the 3.2 available in the B8 A4? In the states, AFAIK, only the 2.0T is available. Or perhaps that is just a 2011 thing?

Well, I have the 09 A4 Quattro B8 3.2L V6, and I am in New York. I love the car and everything about it. I am just looking into the future with option parts instead of factory. The reason I got the 3.2L is because I didn't want a turbo car and I wanted to go for NA engine. I had a STi before my Audi. I must say that I do still miss my STi, but everytime I get in my Audi and go for a nice long relaxing drive, that feeling slowly fades.

I really hope that I don't get burned on this forum for saying this, but as for me, my best car will always be my STi. It is such a great and fun car to drive.

Jester,

That's funny, I came from an Evo and don't miss it very much after driving either. I am in the same boat and didn't want to deal with a Turbo car anymore.

I wanna mod my 3.2 but all i found were remaps/chip and a supersprint exhaust - centre pipe + exhaust hanger kit and right and left exhaust.

I'd like a bolt on intake for the 3.2

Ok so I gambled a little bit and ordered a volant power core intake designed for Audi A5 3.2 which is the same FSI engine that goes into our A4's. Looking under both their hoods, I knew it would fit. Its been with me since a week and I finally got it installed today, it took about 15 minutes.

Power gains claimed are 18hp and 40 lbs of torque, improvement in gas mileage by 1-2 miles per gallon. My traction control starts flipping out if I floor it from a stop which never happened earlier (on dry surface). And the sound is to die for, much more aggressive; this is how the 3.2 should sound from the factory.

Will post pics later today and upload a video soon.
