air filters

Post by BigAustin » Wed Jul 29, 2009 8:12 pm

Does anyone know of a decent aftermarket airfilter. for B6 S4

I used to use a `ramair` filter on my scooby , and could certainly feel
the difference.

I emailed K&N , but they replied with `nothing available` :(

I noticed someone had used a BMC filter on a B7 on a diff thread.

So a bit of searching and found one for just under £48 incl. p/p

a few places are selling these but this was the cheapest I found in my ten minute search.

will let you know how it performs.
