Air intake upgrades.

[grim]

Hi all 

A6 (c6) 3lt allroad.

Hi has anyone upgraded or no of any possible upgrades to the air intake system. There seems to be a lot of plastic taking up a lot of room. Or is it just best leave it be.

Thanks Grant.

Hi there are a world of aftermarket alleged upgrades most will cause some sort of problem weak mixture/ overfuel during cold weather etc, if you look at the manufacturers point of view why spend loads of money developing a system that works when you could use cheaper cone filters and silicone pipework and spend more on wide band sensors to  cope with  the fluctuations of that system.

I know on the A6 c5 induction kits etc are pointless and the stock airbox is actually best. You.might.be better going for an.upgraded panel filter from k&n ect. As heat soak will be your biggest issue with induction kits.
