Just installed this in my 2013 S4 last week had to get the 5" filter since the 7" was out of stock. I was shocked at how quick and east it was to install. I used a 7/32 bit and brute force for the barb in the coupler and none of the hose clamps that came with the intake were large enough, however my local Walmart had ones that did. Last intake I installed was on a r53 mini and it took a while I had this one 90% done during my smoke break at work. The sound is so satisfying and kicks in so low that I don't need to worry about mpg loss.

Nice! I have a set up like this on my S4. I used a Flowmaster filter though because it has an inverted cone at the front as well. And I used a Spectre velocity stack. I cut the oem airbox to keep the fresh air route from the grill. Glad to see that it should be working pretty well. I didn't do any testing lol.

I have two questions for you after seeing this: On your Facebook post in one of our groups, you said that open vs closed intake would make no difference which I accept, but when someone told you that a heat shield shield would make a difference, you didn't fight him. You just repeated that open vs closed makes no difference. Why are you saying that the heat shield wouldn't make a difference? Do you have data logs for IATs to show? I wonder if we'd see any difference between the two. Thanks

How about a true CAI? I have the HPS 4"pipe to a coupler to another 4"pipe facing down, putting the bottom of the filter about 2", above the bottom vent, which i cut out all the holes. wrapped in the gold heat tape . Put on a filter cover to avoid any water and my IAT's and recovery are insane for FL. after full temp, pop the hood touch the pipe going down to filter and it is just a COLD piece of aluminum.

I have all of my parts on hand now, just waiting to hear about the 4" aluminum tubing that you use for the S5 install. I'm surprised the 45 degree bend with the 7inch Leg you used wouldn't work. Hope to hear from you soon, I can't wait to change out this old Roc Euro. I'm thinking of cutting the heat shield that came with it to fit the 4"in pipe through and hopefully keep the heat shield which might also act as a brace. Also that vibrant vacuum line fitting kit which I have, Is it really needed? Can you do the install without it and just plug the hose? I remember back in the day the old CAI on my honda we disconnected the line and capped off the intake because it just pumped in heat from the crankcase during cold starts. I live in FL and there is no need to ever pump hot air into a motor to start it. Just wasn't sure if this would cause a problem on the 3.0T otherwise it would seem better off just capped? I'm guessing people aren't doing this for a reason.

Question: I currently have a 2016 audi a7 currently have it stage 1 with a pulley upgrade and a enclosed cold air intake from ecs tuning. Have you ever had any issues with that cold air intake? I had mine installed but I use to hear a small knock in the box. Have you ever heard of any issues with something like that. ?

[@AudiC7Owners]

I don't have any experience with that intake, but I can tell you that keeping the filter in an enclosed box is cutting off air flow to your intake. I would do my best to make that filter open. If there is a lid on the box take it off. You want air surrounding that filter to Aid in the flow. Trying to make sure that the filter is in colder air is negligible because the air is going to be superheated when it is compressed in the supercharger anyways.

[@joshuacosta3796]

I just attempted to install mine this morning and the throttle body hose seemed a little big. Should I try and find a 2.5" or will the 3.0" work correctly? Also, where should I be putting the secondary line after installing it to the filter. Let it just hang...?

Is the size of the filter important? The bigger the filter the more performance and gains? I ordered the afe and the blox racing to compare them , they shoul be pretty close in performance right?

[@AudiC7Owners]

They are almost identical in size so either one will be great to use. You don't want too big a filter as you want to maximize airflow around it

Nope, but the easiest way is to put your passenger side on a jack stand, remove the wheel or turn it all the way to the left. Undo you're fender liner & pull it back. Once you do you will have direct access to the bottom of your box. You have to squeeze the clamp on the fitting & work it off.

So i ended up installing a CTS 3.5 intake but while trying to disconnect the secondary air fuel hose under the box i ended up disconnecting the whole thing. I thought this wasnt a big deal so after installing everything else, i started up the car & ended up getting a P0638 code, TPMS light, Max 950 rpm caution, and stability failure. Im thinking it has something to do with the Secondary air fuel hose i disconnected. Was super happy now im bummed out. :(

[@AudiC7Owners]

It isn't a fuel hose... Secondary air intake feeds air into your catalytic converters on cold start. Those codes shouldn't be from that.

@@AudiC7Owners Hi! Fortunately the problem resolved on its own after a few hours of not using the car!

how do you remove the stock air box, is there anything i should watch out for?

[@AudiC7Owners]

Once you detach the ram air duct from it & glove the oem tube it just pulls out of these rubber holders in the frame real. But there is an SAI Hose connected to the bottom of the intake box that is difficult to access. Easiest way to get to it without it breaking is to lift your passenger side of the cae, remove the front wheel, and then undo the front of your fender liner to pull back. Once you pull that fender liner back you will have direct and open access to the bottom of your intake box and it is a lot easier to remove that hose without breaking it.

What do i need to know if I want to do this for a b8 (not .5, if it matters) 3.0t?

[@AudiC7Owners]

Just need to measure the length of the piping you need and the angle you need for it

​@@AudiC7Owners I'll buy what you linked, and report back here. I've been looking at intakes for these engines, and I've noticed that a lot of them center around modifying the stock air box. That would be a fine base because it's really well designed, but I would like to keep the stock air box stock just in case I ever want to go back. In Washington I don't have to worry about inspections, but it's nice to know that I always have something to fall back to. In your experience, how did doing this affect your IATs? I love the sound though..... I might just do it for that if the IAT change isn't too bad.

[@AudiC7Owners]

Intakes have no effect on iat's on forced induction cars

[@blucobalt8688]

@@AudiC7Owners sorry, I don't think I understand. Aren't IATs, IATs regardless? If it's pulling cold air it's pulling cold air and if it's pulling hot air it's pulling hot air.

[@AudiC7Owners]

The air coming in through your intake goes nuclear when it is compressed in a supercharger/turbo. That's the reason forced induction cars have intercoolers of some kind... To cool the air post compression before it goes into the combustion chamber. Our car actually has 3 intercoolers... Your heat exchanger and two intercooler cores inside the supercharger. They are all there to cool the air after it is superheated in compression inside the supercharger.

Now need to make custom heat shield, im just not gonna pay 300 for piece of bented metal..

[@AudiC7Owners]

Heat shield is unnecessary unless you want it for support or looks

[@prllme]

partslist isnt working

[@AudiC7Owners]

It's worked for other people tonight. What is it doing with you click it?

[@AudiC7Owners]

I just clicked on it & it worked for me

[@emolutioning]

Its during IDLE & BRAKING which is DAILY normal driving which will which without enclosed open pods like this suffers. I have experimented these with my evo9 before. During braking, hot engine air Gushes forward, causing Filter to suck load of hot air, IAT climbed. During IDLE in hot traffic lights, U are surely sucking in hot Radiant Heat Air all stuck inside the engine bay. These have been Facts in the car world for Centuries. For your c7, it also largely depends on whether are there any ar coming in from foglight area, if u do, enclosed pod will fair better for daily normal driving thats for sure. Purely looking at high RPM power band, no your hot air sucking open pod does not affect by that margin. 034 etc are rather automotive knowledgeble reputable companies than most of us amatuers really.. *Sharing and Discussing.

Nice patch... We are using it in Ukraine ;)

[@AudiC7Owners]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 That's awesome. Keep up the good fight

[@_Kompan]

I also want to order it to Ukraine, how is it going with dust particles filtering vs oem filter, won't my engine suck more rubbish in?

[@AudiC7Owners]

@@_Kompan no. It is perfectly safe

[@_Kompan]

@@AudiC7Owners thank you mate! Already ordering!

[@_Kompan]

@@AudiC7Owners Can you tell a bit more about second filter how critical is to change it, does restrict air flow and sound?

[@charlesdavis5803]

I seriously need to know, will those parts work on a C6 A6?

[@donovanmorris2644]

Same here would love to do this that intake screams

[@AudiC7Owners]

They should! You might have to tweak it a bit

[@charlesdavis5803]

@AudiC7Owners Great!! I will tweak, twerk...whatever! Thanks Cameron!
