I would also like to know. I saw one for the A6 with 3.0T on APR site, I think it should fit on the A7 I don't know for sure.

Now that response was direct, real and made me laugh......! My son had one of these and every time his Honda went through a parking deck....the alarms went off. I asked him what value this was, and he said, isn't that so cool? I said well......then I hesitated and remembered when I was a kid putting the baseball cards on a close pin on the spokes of my bike, and it did just that....Made some noise. Why? It was cool. Same concept I guess. Thanks, LOL!

GIAC has one for the 3.0 supercharged S4 motor, but they're not marketing it for the A7 yet. They have an intake, exhaust, and ECU software combo that generates about 100 HP and 110 ft-lbs of torque.

In addition to sounding cool, an intake can increase power, but only significantly when combined with other mods.

What your son had was some loud exhaust, not loud intake. Intake will make noise only under wide open throttle. In Honda's case, when the VTEC is reached, the sound of the intake will be significantly louder.

I wouldn't call that a high flow intake. It is a cold air intake, not unlike the old ram air scoops on muscle cars. The idea is to pull in cooler, therefor denser air, kinda like a low tech supercharger.
