Eventuri or RS7 airbox for S6

[OUTTIE_S6]

So I've narrowed it down to these two options. I'm trying to decide if the Eventuri is worth the money over a factory RS7 airbox, which a lot of you have recommended. The Eventuri is definitely gorgeous, but is that really all I'm paying for, looks? The big difference I see is the Eventuri look's like it come with some sort of "scoop" for behind the grill to help direct the air into the box. Seem's like it would be beneficial, but how much more beneficial over the RS7 airbox. Thanks guys.

For stock turbos, I would say RS7 airbox. If you are planning on going to bigger turbos, I would go with Eventuri or AWE. I went the same route to Eventuri.

[OlyS6]

Agree. Both the Eventuri and the AWE Sflo (version 2) have demonstrated some improvement in HP over the Rs7 Airbox, but the expense likely not worth it for either ($1K for AWE, $2K for Eventuri) unless you are upgrading to higher power levels with better turbos.

I do plan on going to stage 3, but it'll probably be roughly a year or longer. I still have a cpo warranty....for the time being. While I don't want to spend the money twice on an airbox, I'm finding them online around $350ish so I feel like I'll get my moneys worth until turbo change and I'm sure someone will buy the used RS7 one when the time comes.

I’d go RocEuros, just for the noise and added wow factor.

Also the RocE debate winds a lot of people up.

It’s too quiet in here

[nefkntym]

A piece of metal tube is more wow than carbon fiber? Different strokes for different folks.

[OlyS6]

I'll admit that out of the multiple intakes I've owned for this car, the Roc-Euro by far had the best sound, without question. Decided to move on to an intake that has some performance data to back it up, albeit small.

Only because I prefer function (sound and butdyno) over form (Looks good, and erm, looks good!) And I started with the AWE Mk1....

The AWE Mk 2 would be on my list if l was looking today, but it’s still almost $700 more expensive than the RocE. Think I’d go RS7 first, since it’s identical and a lot cheaper - if I liked that, I’d Carbon wrap it

LMAO @ wow factor. Roc Euro looks like a K&N job for a Ford Mustang

When you get a chance, check out AWE's dyno comparisons with different intakes vs the Sflo version 2.

Has anyone done any independent testing to verify the manufacturers claims?
As it stands, OEM RS7 intake has produced the fastest (implies greater HP) S6/S7 times, and that was Stage 3. That is fastest 1/8 trap speed, 1/4 trap speed, and greatest gain from 1/8 to 1/4.
For a Stage 2 car, there is most likely no gain in performance over OEM RS7. OUTTIE, imo, save your money until the performance gains have been firmly established.

[cobrario]

Fwiw I too had my fastest ET and trap with the stock box and a k&n filter - yet to see what if any improvement comes with the AWE. Hopefully Mother Nature cooperates soon.

Seems like the RS airbox was engineered well enough for the high demands of the RS turbos which will be good enough for regular S turbos.

Upgrading beyond RS turbos, then maybe some of these aftermarket intakes will start to show improvement over the other.
So far it seems the only restrictions are factory s6/7 airbox, then filter (regardless of what intake you choose).

Keep in mind, these results aren’t for the RS7. The RS7 tune ask for more boost than a stage3.

Not everyone wants to hear crazy amounts of turbo spool from a german luxury sports car, myself included

[OUTTIE_S6]

I spoke with Sean over at SRM about the system he has and I think I'm going to go that route. We also discussed Stage 3 and while I was going to wait a while to do that, after talking with him its happening sooner than I planned. Would have had intake done this past weekend but I was tied up unfortunately so hopefully this weekend.

The new SRM intake has to be as loud if not louder than the Roc-Euro. Personally I like my Eventuri. Looks killer, sounds great and I can’t tell a difference in performance in normal daily driving.

If looks were everything then the Eventuri would be the best pick hands down IMO. Having the SRM intake, honestly it's not that loud at all, actually, I was concerned it would be too loud now I wish it was louder. BTW arent' you doing cat-less dp with your akrap exhaust? Would suprised you'd even hear yourself think let alone hear the intake noise lol.

Wise man right there, its a work of art what he created, there is no other physical way to get more volume then what Sean created. Love mine!

I am not concerned with volume of sound. I have the Roc-Euro and like it. I bought the Eventuri because I like the looks and design. The Akra is not loud, just a different tone. I am actually hoping the catless DPs add volume to my liking.

I was simply commenting on the topic of noise volume. I often wondered why people didn’t like the RE because honestly it was no where near loud to me. With this new SRM intake design, it would seem it would be just as loud if not louder.

You are really trying to push this intake...Why is that?
“Work of art”....seriously!

LOL yeah I guess it could come off like that. Normally I could give a s h*t about what people put on their car. It was the reality of seeing all these other intake kits on the market not addressing the other side of the intake restriction which made me share the SRM intake. The tubing coming from the turbo's now have 0 space left over after increasing the size/volume and flow dramicially imho is work of art (if you install it you would understand) seriously there is no room left. Some look at pretty carbon fiber with 0 power or flow increase as a work of art and that is cool too, my apologizes since I'm looking at it a little differently the engineering/fab design aspect is impressive. BTW if those are looking to purchase SRM's kit so it can work with these aftermarket its, I believe Sean is also working on a solution for that too. Hopefully that explains my reason's I went with SRM's intake kit low-profile. Best regards, Brad

On the topic of looks, this is a $130k+ car, heck yeah looks matter to a lot of owners. I take my car to shows and the Eventuri stands out. In my opinion even the RE looks better than the RSM intake, so I would be more interested in the pipes that would mate up between the turbos and my Eventuri if there are actual results.

On the topic of results, the other have posted dyno and or vbox results. Still waiting for that from RSM.

LOL I get that, the Eventuri intake is one bad ass looking intake for sure no one can disagree with that so for looks its a win win for performance, though it may not do any more for flow then say adding a k&n filter but then again its goes in line with someone adding rims (does nothing for performance but looks killer) so I get it. Its just sad when these companys create these super kick ass looking systems, state if flows more then stock but didn't address the main restriction is what I was reflecting on. Now if Eventuri did what SRM has done to the other side of the intake by the turbos then hell yeah, right on no qualms.

Results i've seen are only from Big Tubro RS6 or RS7 I think in Canada or overseas its mostly shops Sean has work with and using his Big Turbo kit (his main business). Sean can share this, believe there is someone else doing some back to back 1/4 mile runs between the stock and the SRM intake so more will pop up. Most data a side from not my own rs7 (since I haven't dyno'd or dragy'd yet) have all datalogged 2 psi increase which just these intake pipes. I forget the exact suggested hp increase suggested on a stock or tuned rs7 (this is where there is grey areas) its something like 20-40hp increase. Again Sean can be more specific. In short you will see more and more people that care about every last bit of hp running SRM pipes period, no other way to state it.

MRC Tuning addressed that issue for the smaller inlet coming off the turbo a while ago and they can be used with pretty much any intake one would choose. There is a handful of people here that already have them, myself included.

They look sharp! Wondering what diameter it is, looks like the seal with an alum flange assuming its an O-ring. Can you share more information on this?

There you go again...lol.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...we just disagree on what a work of art they are. That’s all good though, I do admire your enthusiasm.
Just so I have this straight, Sean says that bolting these intake tubes on an RS7 (let’s say Stage2) have created a 2 psi increase?
I don’t understand how that would happen. Wouldn’t the ecu lower the duty cycle for the wastegate and maintain the psi it was tuned for? I’m admittedly new to Audi but that’s usually how modern cars respond.

Edit. There are a lot of us here who are chasing improved performance and that unites us. I don’t expect an answer to the above question as the 2 psi increase is hearsay at this point in time, so it wouldn’t matter. I only offer my opinion to encourage people to, “think before you drink”.
Take care and hope you have a good weekend.

Low-profile, posted the boost increase dyno graph on the srm thread showing this. I’m no tuner so I don’t have an answer for you as to what the ecu does which 2 extra psi. I’m think make more power. Regarding the MRC pipes they look smaller in diameter then SRMs’s most likely do to the needed flange. Is one better then the other that’s not for me to answer. Enjoy your weekend too buddy.

IowaRS7, I am going to see Sean tomorrow I'll find out if he's offering a kit for between airbox and turbos. I believe they are because they mentioned if I didn't like the open filter design they can do a "stock location" style. I assume they are somehow mating the pipes to stock airbox.

Would only make sense as it would increase their market and likely be cheaper than MRC being in the states. I have emailed MRC twice over the last few months and no response.

[nefkntym]

You have to call MRC directly, it is a lot faster.

[DGVR6]

What’s going to happen is that you’ll see a spike in boost and the ECU will taper it off according.

You’ll get a brief burst of power at lower rpm and it’ll level out. It will help with ET.. I don’t see it doing anything for actual horsepower

Got the SRM intake installed today and confirmed Sean is offering a "kit" that will mate up to the Eventuri box. I think he's still playing with the design a little but sounds like he's got it figured out.
