RS2 airbox differs on the top too, with more space above the element than S2. Also the plastic shield behind the headlight is different aswell. I was also considering the RS2 box....and now I have....a huge cone and a tasty suction noise. Still not sure if its the noise or the sucktion I fell in love with.... RS2 box is not cheap.

But I don't want the cone... But - what are my options then? I mean, can I do something to my stock box to get more air in? Will the lower part fit the ABY upper part? That way I'd at least get more air into the bottom end...
I don't know Henka. I am not sure anyone tried to mix them. Buy a complete box then. Try tots.ch. He always has one or two boxes. I think its some 125 to 200 euros for a box. Element is same as ABY. If you put ABY top on RS2 lower half you loose one part of the advantage the RS would offer with the better air conducting top. IMHO

Have a look at the standard box intake tube area and compare to the breathing area of the "box" behind the headlight. Its not one of Audis' greatest designs. Try running with the removable box sections removed and then the trim piece below the headlight.

Hmm... According to my calculations the RS2 airbox offesr a fresh air intake area that is 56% greater than the S2 airbox. Not sure if it will do me any good but at least when I sell the car later on it will be on the list of arguments.

I think you will notice some difference. I did when I remowed the stock ABY airbox. Feels and sounds different.

Great... The RS2 'box turned out to be a ABY when I finally caught up with the guy selling it. Seems he took the wrong 'box with him. Well, maybe next week then. Hmpf...
