Still waiting for a reply the dealer manager. I will send him a reminder by the end of this week if I didn't get replies before then. The time showed up in MMI at the bottom, don't know how it happened. I bought a waterless wash and wax to clean the car from the dust and light dirt and to keep it shiny. I am looking to get a good leather conditioner since I would like to maintain the car in an excellent condition. Its my true first car.

 

I talked to the dealer recently, and since the AWE tuning are not one of the GCC Audi HQ partners, therefore they can't order any items directly from them. Therefore he told me that I can order the item and he will reimburse me with the amount, but that is only for the Air Intake Kit and not for the exhaust system
At least one thing is better then none, so I contacted Volant, AWE Tuning, and APR.
Volant said that they never did a system check of the Air Intake on A4 and never heard of it working of their system working on it.
AWE Tuning replied saying that the AWE Air Intake is very good and compatible with the GCC weather, and will work perfectly fine.
APR did not send any replies.

I think I will go with the AWE Tuning Air Intake Kit, they also have it in two colors, black and also in red. I am thinking of getting the red one.

 

So the A5 cold air intake worked fine? I'm trying to find one that fits.

 

The A5 intake works fine on the A4 but now you can just buy one for the A4, AWE Tuning and APR make intakes for the 3.2 A4. When i got mine, there wasnt an intake available

 

The problem with the A5 intake I am afraid of, is that the dealer might not accept to reimburse it since its not technically built for an A4 even if it fixes perfectly. And beside, it's nice to try new things, so I am going with the AWE Tuning, I already got a quotation and waiting for the dealer to approve it so I go ahead with the ordering. The person in contact with me from the dealer has gone a vacation for 2 weeks so I have to wait till he is back though..

 

That reply was meant for chrisp1003, no point in getting an A5 intake when you get them for A4

I really wanna know how much difference the AWE exhaust makes in our cars from someone who has it installed, the numbers seem okay. It would cost me almost $3000 to get it here! With the shipping and insane duties we have here on car parts. I'm considering doing a custom but as a last resort.

Their intake is supposed to be pretty good, hope its not too silent Any idea how I can take a video of the sound? Coz of the rev limiter, I need to be moving to get it to sound and with the windows open theres too much wind noise.

 

The intake reached few days back, it looks amazing. I called with the dealer to fix it, and they will be free to do so on the 26th of this month. I would of fix it myself, but since they will be responsible with the reimbursment and as well as fixing it according the to the agreement we had, then its better to leave it for them.

I was going to get the Red Hose, but unfortunately AWE advised me that they have stopped manufacturing the Red Hose, which would of looked so awsome on the car.

 

Please upload a video, I wanna hear how it sounds.

I mailed Volant a couple months back telling them its an exact fit for the A4, probably saved them thousands in R&D. Not even a thank you, jeez.

 

I was unable to get the car to them yesterday, and the next appointment I got was 12th Nov. I talked to the sales manager I know, and he said that he will try to rearrange the appointment sooner, he is so interested on how this will work out for me. He already to took the invoices to prepare the reimbursement. I cant wait to hear how good this will make the engine sound like

I will post pictures and possible vidoes of how it will look like once its fixed.

 

Got it fixed two days ago, been very busy and the roads were always crowded I couldn't test it fully. But I noticed that the engine now makes a very nice roaring sound, specially when the RPM hits 4500+. And also the shifting seems affected with quicker response and nice shifting engine noise. I will try to get a sample of the noise whenever I get an empty smooth road in front of me

Here I also post the old filter after they took it out and gave it back, and also the new filter before fitting it in.
