Default Intake, need your opinions....

I was wondering if intake will make notisable
difference on the top of chip+exhaust i already
have. Some tuners claim 8-10Hp gain which is not
bad for about $250, but does it really add that
much? Where do you feel a power increase?

Default depends

i don't reccomend an "open" intake. The stock airbox does a good job keeping heat out.

I have the Abt drop in filter - fits perfectly.

No way an intake will increase that much horsepower. At least not for the S4.

Default I noticed improved mid to upper range

Make sure you get one with a heatshield though. It sounds cool too.

Default The EVO one worked for me.

I have dyno runs of before and after. The power does not die out on the upper end as it did before. I have a turbo back exhuast too.

I also just installed the exact same intake this past Monday on an X chip only car. You could still feel the difference of the power curves. Email me for the dyno plots.
