I own a 2002 A6 3.0; kinda bored; looking to get some subtle mods done.
will a K & N intake make a apparent change? If not, what will?

Thanks-

 

no. the stock airbox in our cars are suprisingly efficeint. a simple K&N drop in filter will do. however a cone filter setup will make your car sound more throwty. but you really wont see any gains out of it

 

i dunno i put in a new intake today and it definatly sounds better and it feels like i can feel a difference in power but it could just be my head

 

i think you should put a cold air intake on. I did it to mine and it made the turbo sound better and the stock ones are really restrictive

 

Well, you're half right. The turbo will definitely spool up louder, but from the collective experience here, what Bondga said is the case - the OEM induction system is pretty efficient, and it's very likely that any gains you feel will really be a placebo effect.

 

Not a horsepower gain per se, but as the others mentioned, you'll hear the difference. The biggest performance gain is going to be a quicker turbo spool-up.

 

Quicker spooling turbo, quicker throttle response, a small HP gain probably. But more like than a gain will be a change in the shape of your power curve I am having the evoms intake putt in a week from today, I will let you know the outcome fo the CAI next weekend.

 

Ask Leifer! Thats all i gota say.

 

Without searching all of the threads, are there any recommended CAI's for our TT's?

 

all of you guys just mentioned the non hp increase on the turbo models, hey 51515 said he has just a 3.0l a6, no turbo like everyone says doesn't really gain any hp, is that the same for the non turbo cars to,
