Hi all,

Am a proud owner of a 2020 C8 RS6. Have had lots of performance cars previously but love this more than my wife.

One quick question please, I was thinking of changing the OEM air filter to a K and N but there is so much conflicting info as to whether it is a cone or panel. I looked under the bonnet and for the life of me cannot locate it - so wondered if anyone knew? I cant work it out from online diagrams of the engine!

Thanks in advance and hello!

Most of the info I've found its a panel filter

It’s the big square box as soon as you open bonnet in front of engine it’s got screws all around edge of box

thank you for the replies - much appreciated -

Re the big square box, there isnt one! There is a massive engine with no boxes either side (def no big black square box...

There is a long rectangular plastic box at the front of the engine - having looked at the panel filters in the link above, I am guessing it is all hidden under there.

correct me if im wrong guys but this is the cover for the air filter??

Yes that’s what I said a big square box

Just thought a picture would help the op
