H3: Is a cold air intake really worth it?

Yes, an aftermarket cold intake can be worth it for the following reasons: Improved Performance:, Enhanced Sound, Better Fuel Economy, Filter Longevity, Cost-Effectiveness, And more!

Do I need to tune my vehicle after installing a cold air intake?

Technically, no. But it is recommended. Why? Because tuning your vehicle after installing a cold air intake can maximize performance gains.

H2: Will a cold air intake change the sound of my engine?

Yes. Adding a cold air intake usually results in a more aggressive intake sound during acceleration.

H3: How do I choose the right cold air intake for my vehicle?

Think carefully about the make and model of your vehicle and your desired performance gains, efficiency improvements, and so on. Consider price vs. Quality and longevity of performance intake systems. Researching and comparing products from reputable manufacturers like IE can ensure compatibility and ultimately, satisfaction with your choice.

Is there a difference between a cold air intake and a short ram intake?

Yes, the main difference is in where each air filter is located relative to the engine bay. Performance cold air intake filters are usually outside of the engine compartment to draw in cooler air (this is why if you have a cold air intake you should avoid driving through puddles!). Short ram intakes, on the other hand, have their filter inside the engine bay, making installation easier but often drawing in warmer air compared to cool air intakes.

Amazing

Stock air box has got nothing on this. Now it does kill your gas mileage because all you want to do is hear it so you end up pushing your car a little more than usual, jokes aside looks amazing sounds amazing and is super easy to put in. This is an A5 2014 as well.

B8.5 Intake Review.

The intake itself, I have no complaints. Very pleased with how simple the installation process was, being that this is the first mod I have done.

Performance gains were minimal, if any. I have yet to purchase the IE Stage 1 tune which I know will maximize performance. However, until then, I am still more than happy with the new sounds this intake unlocked. The wooshes are so satisfying. The perfect amount.

I am also a huge fan of the "sleekness" of this intake, compared to what other companies offer. The grey on black, "chefs kiss". A super clean look in my A4's engine bay.

I am very happy with this purchase, and I look forward to buying from IE again in the hopefully near future. :)

Next Level Sound

I immediately noticed the sensational sound of the spooling Turbo. I partnered it with the performance cat/downpipe and was blown away by the change in personality, response and sounds being emitted. I am about to add the Stage 2 tune this week and can't wait for Spring to come so I can take a road trip through the mountains with the top down.
