Another new intake: Injen (12hp/19tq increase)

[inNout]

I like the long tube design. The hp/tq gain is pretty considerable. Wonder how this will work in wet condition. (though it comes with the hydro condom)

[Okan509]

gotta get me one of these "hydro condoms"!

I have one on my K&N intake. lol

[A5MD]

Out of the cars that I have bought intakes for, both have been by Injen. I love their products and their fit and finish have been outstanding. Wonder if they make this for a A5??

I had a custom intake built and I had it run the exact same way this one is being run. My filter sits right on top of my intercooler pipe and I haven't had a problem so far with sucking up water or snow. I can post up pictures later today if you want

For real, I wonder how it sounds, seems like it could be super loud. :/

Makes it look so empty in there

I would really like to hear what APR would say about it as the both intakes are different. Which one is better and etc? Cons & Pros.
But i must say that APR is more of an OEM intake, plus i don't like how half of the intake is left.
Also, placing the intake behind the ic, wouldn't that limit the air intake?

for that price, im kinda sold...

[fredjones]

Why am I skeptical about the gains claimed? $278 is steep for a piece of aluminum and a filter, I don't care how much it is "engineered".

dude.... it comes with a hydro condom....

[coolwater]

Tune needed to receive these gains? Or is this truly just bolt-on?
I am also interested in the noise levels from this one..

[Wah]

You pay for what you get.....

IMO, this intake doesn't look too good; having the filter sit right in front of the front bumper air inlet wouldn't provide a benefit throughout low rpms. + you would definitely be sucking in hot air from the engine.

Just my 2 cents...

[NickZag]

dude.... it comes with a hydro condom....

I'd rather go bare back, but thats just me LOL

True, I hear jacuzzi water kills everything anyways.

My bad. I forgot about the hydro condom. Do they come in different colors?

just flavours and ribbed

[coolwater]

So, do I need a tune with this?

[MrPerfect]

I'd be interested to hear ease of installation, but considering you don't have to deconstruct your airbox, I think that's promising.

YMMV. actually, Your Engine's Milelage May Vary.

[MiracleWhips]

IIRC, Rotiform has this on their project avant.

Haven't heard any feedback however.

[Blake P]

You guys are intake junkies!

[Okan509]

hahahaha

did you miss the boat? :/

[languiduck]

I'm waiting for someone to explain what air fusion is.

[ham hands bill]

[Okan509]

I wanna know more about it!

[ham hands bill]

The install is really easy, about 20 minutes if you take your sweet time. The filter fits right through the bottom of the valence.
So you dont have to remove your bumper, and if your iffy' about the weather, you can put it back to stock really quick and easy.



There is also a clean notch on the tube so it has clearance behind the headlight. Real clean kit. Amsoil dry filter too.

[ham hands bill]

no whistle bub rub action either. woo woo.

[B8_RDC]

for that price, im kinda sold...

Ordered at: http://www.autoanything.com/air-inta...6A3726547.aspx

Better price there (includes hyrdoshield for free, compared to $24 + 10% off using "welcome" code) total: $259.16 shipped w/ hydroshield

[A5MD]

Any sound clips? Like to know how much hp/torque it adds..not from what Injen advertises

[B8_Jim]

Help me out here - what is the point of putting the filter right behind the fog light cover - they are solid and don't allow any air flow in, right? Seems like having it up by the actual intake (top of the grille) would be better?

[B8_RDC]

Goal is air away from engine heat and using lower restriction cone filter. I'm sure there is still air behind fog cover (not vacuum)

[ham hands bill]

The filter is not being blocked, Its actualy right in the stream of air.

I don't see either how the first part is achieved any better than OEM though.

Instead of pulling fresh "as cool as you are going to get from the start air" from the outside of the car, this design is pulling it from a mostly enclosed space inside the bumper.......and it is still debatable whether aluminum reduces heat soak any more than plastic.

The Injen design does seem to allow for air to flow more freely into the system by reducing sharp twists and turns.

Thought the lack of twists was obvious. I do plan on wrapping the intake in heat reflective material.

2010 A4 non-sline Fog Grilles have vents in them. Unfortunately my A4L fog grilles don't.
Could always drill a few holes into the fog grille fins for this purpose.
