Just out of interest, would there be anything to be gained with different air filters, I would of thought Audi, esp the R8, would have the optimum filters. But if it is a new airbox I get it. Must admit,I was thinking the same thing,it looks like something else is supposed to be living in that box,but I bet this setup will increase his induction noise. |

Surprisingly, quite a lot actually. As absurd as it sounds, there is a guy who did a back to back dyno with the change... And got a 13hp increase. Sounds crazy I know... |

They usually claim around 3hp, which you wouldn't observe in the 1/4. I don't believe manufacturer claims on this sort of thing. Intrigued by this user dyno though. The ones on there now have an extra sock looking thing around them that can't help. |

Yeah i had serious help from a personal friend who has sold cars in the industry and managed for various dealerships to get the price that low, so i wasn't without help, he was guiding my hand throughout the negotiations, i felt pretty sorry for the salesman, he had no idea who he was f'king with lol so that certainly helped with price. |

I wouldn't worry, I am pretty sure they still made money lol. |

I wouldn't worry, I am pretty sure they still made money lol. Of course, thats a given. Everyone knows when you trade a car you get stuff all compared to what you could get selling privately. All im saying is the price was pushed as far as it could be, and the salesman had a rough week dealing with the various mindfcukery and smoke and mirrors. Im just saying and so are the others that i got it at a very good price point. |
