    2013 Audi A4 stock AirBox filter

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys I was wondering if what options I have for stock AirBox filters . I've heard of the AFE filter but the website says that it only fits up to 2012 models
    Can some one tell me some good air filters (preferably not K&N) that fit the 2013 B8.5
    Don't wanna throw a CEL
    Thank you!

    This is the AFE that says won't fit 2013
    Official website doesn't say

    aFe Filters 31-10181 Pro Dry S OE Replacement Air Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0054QUJ2O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_rmuRwb0C17R7S

    I asked AFE directly, and they said they don't have a drop in filter for a 2015 A4, but are working on an intake that will be available in early 2016.

    It should be the exact size as prior b8s.... Factory air box size has not changed...

    I have a 2015 A4 and can verify my AFE Pro S filter fits in the OEM box without issue.

    After a quick search online, looks like you're correct. Same airbox and filter from 09-15. I guess AFE was only going off their own info.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    That non fitting stuff is all nonsense, I have an aFe in my 2013 and it fit perfectly. 5 minute install got me a smoother idle, more turbo whistle (especially doing a 2nd gear pull), and my butt dyno says at least 10hp. Can't recommend it highly enough.

    Make sure to get the dry one (Pro Dry S), the oiled ones can screw up your MAF sensor.

    Thanks for your input guys ! I've decided to get the Pro Dry S. Should be a fairly easy install, I assumed it's the same as any other air filter. Let me know if I'm wrong though lol.
