I've seen dozens of these videos and yours, sir, is the most clearly shown instructions I've seen.

Thank you appreciate it, I aim to cover all the important bits everyone is likely to see / encounter

[@poonunny]

Fantastic video. Very clear, concise, and covers every detail that needs to be known. Plus switching between held camera to tripod mount to show the whole process is perfect! I can tell your planning for the video was also very good. Thank you.

Thanks for your video man. Already whacked on my 034 intake pipe and my K&N filter just arrived. Watching before I get the tools out. Thanks for sharing!

Great vid. When I replace the stock intake, will it give me that lovely bark from the exhaust? Thanks again, all the best.....

[@garyfuzz2434]

Sounds decent mate👍🏻.seems bearable at a steady 70.

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks bud, yeah on cruise it’s silent like the Exhaust, the moment you press the go pedal it’s like a angry charger trying to get out 😂

[@1991julez]

Great install. Very clear. Sounds amazing. I got a 2015 and will be looking for an intake upgrade at some point. Did you notice much of a difference with just the pipe and come before?

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks buddy, yeah the silicone and filter made a noticeable difference. It’s certainly worth doing. I just always wanted the open filter. The remap company said the filter and silicone had made an improvement

[@1991julez]

The Parrott Bro’s wicked, thank you.

[@Repp271]

I had the forge induction kit on my 2010 S4 for 6 months and had no issues with heat soak or the engine getting hot. The engine temp remained constant on all short or long distance journeys. K ps great content btw

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks for the comment appreciate it 😊, yeah they are great intakes, the heat soak usually is when doing multiple pulls on a rolling road you find they suffer with heat soak, even mine did with the airbox. Need to get a heat exchanger before I look into changing a puller

[@Repp271]

The Parrott Bro’s here’s a question. I looking to change my alloys. Currently running on the same alloys as yours but 20”. I want to lower the car as they are lowered as standard so I intend on putting 19” s back on. Dilemma is what alloys to choose. I fancy the Inovit Speed. Any ideas?

[@TheParrottBros]

Repp don’t start me haha. I’ve been looking at wheels for pretty much the whole time I’ve owned the car 😂. I like the idea of a slight concave style flat spoke wheel. For example the riviera rv177 is a beautiful wheel. Also I quite like the Veemann v-fs25. Let me know what you think

[@Repp271]

The Parrott Bro’s Definitely need a concave wheel. Both wheels are nice and I am tempted until I saw the Veemann v-fs40 wheel. However I just don’t think they are concave enough. A company tried to tell me the Inovit torque wheel. Check out the concave. K ps this is my motor instagram.com/p/B_vRsnYpfTf/?igshid=1e0sbnnemf7dq

Hey man good video again . Like the sound with that. Been thinking bout the K an N an silicone to keep it bit quieter . Still enjoying zaustworx too much. Did u sell ur old setup?

[@TheParrottBros]

Thank you Neil, I’m still loving the exhaust too 😂. I did yes, trying to recoup some of the money I’ve thrown at my cars recently. The silicone and k&n is a great set up But I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with an intake system, it is awfully loud it is quite funny

[@neilmacphail572]

@@TheParrottBros . Have driven my mates with the cts intake an stage 2. Thought it was loud. But wasn't sure if was just a combo of intake and lots more power.

[@TheParrottBros]

Neil Macphail I will try and get some better sound clips of mine so you can see what I hear. The likelihood is the stage 2 with more boost is louder too

[@peterk3621]

Hey, just watched your Vid, i am driving my s4 b8 at stage1 since 5 years and am thinking about another air intake. What i informed about was the CDA (carbon dynamic airbox) but now i would propebly install what you did. Where can i get it from, i dont want to order something wrong.

[@TheParrottBros]

The cda will help prevent warm air soak but doesn’t allow that beautiful whine to be heard haha. I have the roceuro one which is from the states. There is a few on eBay that are similar. I’ll see if I can find you a link. What country are you?

[@leo4870]

Wait that small hose from the intake tube where does it lead to and what’s the purpose of it

[@TheParrottBros]

Dave T it’s for the sai pump which is located behind the bumper grill ok drivers side wheel arch

[@blogsforary]

i got a big question? do you notice the difference in throttle response or anything power range i guess you can say

[@TheParrottBros]

Hey buddy, so I would say yes, as it has less restriction it certainly felt a little more peppy and it also sounds faster too if you get what I mean. It’s like a placebo affect haha. I wouldn’t go back

[@janakerman8557]

I’m new to this topic, could you explain what aside from the enhanced acoustic feedback would be pros and cons of an open filter intake and what one might need to take extra care of when having one installed?

[@TheParrottBros]

Jan Akerman Open filters offer on restricted airflow, compared with an air box, you can run a feed of cold air from the front grill up to the filter increasing air supply. Cons are you may also suck in warmer air from the bay area compared with a box that only takes from outside. Filters have been known to gain an increase of 5 to 8 hp when tested on dyno’s

[@janakerman8557]

The Parrott Bro’s thanks for the reply! On the con side, I assume that would mean more potential heat built in the engine room or what would the side effects be and how can they be prevented?

[@TheParrottBros]

Jan Akerman higher intake temps means less power. By adding a cold air feed from the front fog area upwards you reduce the likely hood of warm air when moving The b8 s4 suffer with heat anyway, that’s why when tuning owners fit a heat exchanger to cool the charger down

[@janakerman8557]

The Parrott Bro’s great help, thanks a lot for the explanation!

[@TheParrottBros]

Jan Akerman no problemo any time :)

[@urimahmati7077]

What is that small hose from under the intake system for Ive noticed last time was loose and may have come from my stoke air intake ,any harm I am installing 034 soon which i have now received thanks

[@OakLeafs30]

Vacuum line

[@oxy6233]

How much difference does just the intake pipe change make to sound? Not the full system, the factory airbox and filter with the new pipe? Thanks!

[@TheParrottBros]

It adds a little but not loads. The open filter is 10 times louder than that. It’s good if you want a little more power as the stock pipe and filter is a little restrictive

[@oxy6233]

@@TheParrottBros thank you very much for the reply, i always worry about changing to a k and n filter though on a 20k car because of the oil getting on the maf and intake etc

[@TheParrottBros]

@@oxy6233 If you dont fancy the k&n you can always get a MRC high flow foam filter, the b8 doesnt technically have a maf, It has a sensor that acts like the MAF, but uses airflow harmonics to calculate the volume entering the throttlebody.

[@oxy6233]

@@TheParrottBros thank you for the info brother

[@CoodyMunt]

@@oxy6233 I have an 034 hose and an aFe 11-10121 filter (from Amazon) which allows a bit more whine over the standard filter, no oil needed.

A little bark and lots of whine haha

[@gdubhz]

Hey, thank you for this video. I recently just installed my roc euro and during cold start there is a sudden massive intake of air that lasts for about 3 seconds. The cold start also causes rpms to suddenly drop rather than slowly creeping lower (which is what it did when it was oem) Any clues to what that might be?

[@TheParrottBros]

ThProjektion is it mapped at all? Could be throttle body needing a clean if stock car

[@gdubhz]

​@@TheParrottBros yea its still stock, literally got the car a couple weeks ago lol. will definitely look into that! thanks again and keep up with the s4 content! been loving it

Hi, which K&N Filtre was installed in the original airfiltre-house? Which size does fit in? K&N E-1987? I will try the K&N Filtre in the original house with the Forge Silicon Hose. What did you mean, sounds that also good? Please answer simply, because i speak german 🙈😁

[@TheParrottBros]

You have to buy the specific air filter to fit inside the box, it’s still quite quiet

[@DerWinzler]

@@TheParrottBros Thank you for your answer. I wont install the open intake because the hot air from the motor. Does anyone have a video from the K&N Filtre in the box with an aftermarket clean hose to the motor? I am already happy to make the whine 50% louder, i doesn't need 100% Because the K&N, i think it' s the E-1987, can anyone confirm?

Did you do a stage 1 or 2 to get this whine loud?

[@TheParrottBros]

Its only had a software remap, no pulley swap or anything. The supercharger will naturally whine if an open filter is fitted

[@stevenwilkins3687]

Did doing this raise an issue with engine management? Any fault codes come up?

Hey, no it didn’t , no codes no issues. Just immense sound 😎

[@stevenwilkins3687]

@@TheParrottBros Good news, yeah I love my S5, sounds great as is to me but you’ve unleashed something there 👌🏼

[@owenma9335]

can’t you use use the silicone tube and just take the lid off and run a open air intake? or am i being stupid

[@TheParrottBros]

The lid of the original air box is what holds the filter in, so you couldn’t do that. Plus by doing that you limit what air can get to the filter, it will only be air from above and infront. You also want the air from below

[@herkiee1]

Does the new open air filter increase HP?

[@TheParrottBros]

providing its bigger than the stock filter you should see a small gain in hp, you may loose some low down torque by removing the box though

[@anthonyviveros703]

Do they fit a b8 s5?

Anthony Viveros if it’s a 3.0L charged one yea, if a v8 no. Thanks

[@katana92uk]

is it possible to make s4 B8 supercharged pop n crackle and bang ?

Quite possibly, usually it’s a map related tweak & also helps if you have less boxes in your exhaust 😂

[@ps2cho]

Still baffles me how people turn a cold air intake into a hot air intake...

[@bandit911]

Most people are not on a track trying to get as much power as possible, most people don't give a fk about the 10hp loss because it draws some hot air, most people like to hear the supercharge whine and just enjoy their car around town and the odd country road spin, now you shouldn't be baffled anymore because you know exactly why 👍🏽

[@alvischan5067]

Thanks for sharing. What is the small air filter at around 15:16? Does it have a spec or K&N part number?

[@TheParrottBros]

That’s the air pump, most kits will come with both, not sure if sold separate. Would be worth contacting the company and asking

[@ukn4187]

​​​@@TheParrottBrosbit late mate asking, but does the small filter have to go on that pipe at 15:16 or can you leave it exposed, thanks
