Re: Does Anyone Know About These Aftermarket Cold Air Intake Upgrades...
APR engineer told me just to upgrade the air filter to K&N. It
doesn't make a differennce with the cold air intakes in the B5 A4. I
was looking at getting a APR chip and asked him about it and he told
me not to waste my money. To upgrade my exhaust.

They usually don't do a whole lot of damage, however the oil from the K&N
air filters tends to get all over the element in the Mass Air Flow Sensor.
Then you got problems. I tried a k/n filtercharger on my truck and the
throttle response was much better and there was a slight increase in low end
torque but not much to write home about. Be careful with chips. They can
cause more harm than good, and often do. And they void your warranty,
unless your in good with the guys at your dealership.
Good Luck
