    impoving standard s4 aan intake

    hi,just was wondering which is the best way of improving the intake on my s4, weather i should use a k@n panel replacement one, or do away with airbox an go for a induction one, i have recenty aquired a apexi induction kit whcih will fit straight on and do away with air box, but think this may not be as good as standard intake ive been told, any ideas any one?

    It's best to leave the standard intake well alone, it's very efficient on the S4/S6. You could try a "performance" panel filter although there's a chance that the oil from some filters (such as the K&N) will damage the MAF wire. Plus the standard paper filter will remove far more contaminants from the air. Just change it regularly! Induction kits and open air filters will only increase the hot engine bay air being sucked into the engine and are a waste of time and money IMHO.

          Don't know but I can't see the point. The S4 has a good cold air intake anyway.

            Witch can allways be changed for modded one. I modified my airfilter box to have a bigger intake and have the pipe suck the air from the oilcooler passage.

            Subwoofer pipes rule for the airbox.

              I think the pipe diameter was about 80mm.
