Default What cold air induction system is the best bang for you buck?

I know that the stratmosphere hyperflow induction is a good product, but what other intakes are good for the S4?

Default Agreed, it totally isolates the engine bay heat from the intake, is made of plastic for low heat...

transfer and is a true CAI. It is not a ram air system. The only true street legal ram air systems that actually worked were the Ford "Shaker: scoops that were connected directly to the carburetor. Any tubing other than a straight, short shot into the intake has inherent backpressure that actually inhibits air flow. Getting high pressure air into the engine through a scoop is not an easy proposition. Most outside air flows by the scoop. If you want a CAI that works for your Audi remove a headlight and pipe a conical intake to that, of course that is not street legal and astethics are a bit rough. If you look at the pro stockers those barns that they build on the hoods are true RAM/CAI systems but they are not very aerodynamic. Pure brute hp overcomes the drag that they create.
