STOCK intake still best?short ram,S flo?

[snowplow]

we all have been told a million times the stock intake is way more then our cars were meant to have, its tested up to over 500hp and TQ, but if u dont plan on doing a turbo upgrade and wanna squeeze some more juice out of the KO3s (15 HP) apparently a few intakes can give some decent gains? any one running anything other then their stock intake and air box?

you can make your own ram air as good as the s-flo or evolution motorsports one.

I have an ABD intake in there right now that came with the car, I've been too lazy to darintake the stock airbox and throw it back in, but that's on my agenda when the weather gets a little warmer

[snowplow]

THE evosports one claims +15HP +15TQ and a deeper noise

[Jung]

lol not on k03s

[snowplow]

ha apparently the ABD quick flow filter system isnt street legal

[snowplow]

it says adds 10-15HP+TQ stock

[BastardS4]

[snowplow]

Have you ever driven your car w.o the ABD intake?

[CruzS4]

nah i have not. i bought it in november so i've only had it a little while. my old S4 never had an intake though, but it was relatively stock, just the GIAC chip performance wise. If i decide to swap the stocker back in sooner than later i'll get back to you about the performance difference

Build your own man.
Most it will be is 100 bucks.

i have a darintake on my stage 3, plenty of flow. Run a stock filter, K&N oil can mess up the MAF

Also, this whole thread could be avoided by using the SEARCH

[KompMan420]

^^ Same here. I also did before and after tests with the K&N and stock filter. NO difference at all in air flow.

darintake mod, look it up

That's what i did to mine, Was using that for 2.5 years and now i just went back to the stock intake setup for now. Upon going stage 3 i want the X1 or X.5

[fdation]

i have the awe didnt really do anything but i can say i have one thats about it

[SLC_S4]

How can an intake not be street legal? I mean....it's an intake....

And yes, stock intake with darintake mod, or RS4 airbox, is still best.

yeah i've often wondered taht myself.. i mean it's not giving off emissions or anything.. it's just putting a little cooler air into the motor
