Cold Air Kit

Hi All,

I'm considering installing the Fabspeed Cold Air Kit on my 2004 C4. Any experiences with this good and bad? Thanks

sounds good. silicon hose looks cool. may have slight power increase, but only a dyno would know for sure.

I have the EVO...it makes slightly more power, better throttle response and much better sound on a stocker. I am happy with it.

Its just so hard to justify 700 bucks for this thing.... yes you have to pay to play but really 700 for 15 peak more HP

I have the Fab Cold Air and I like it.
Not sure about actual performance gain but it does affect the power curve. The car is now more "cammy" with an extra rush above 4500 rpm compared to stock. It makes the car more fun to drive, but could be the result of a lost torque at lower rpm´s.(!) The induction sound alone makes it a nice mod. OEM air filter.

Ps. The block-off plug included is a cheap piece of plastic that has nothing to do with CF. And it doesn´t even seal properly. Easy to fix, but annoying non the less.

wsuvoy:

I've had a few CAI kits; the EVOMS is far superior to the others. You can pay less for a piece of junk that provides equivalent horsepower (K&N), or pay much less for half the horsepower (FabSpeed), or just add the BMC F1 filter for about 5 horsepower (when the filter is properly cleaned and oiled). You might end up regretting the latter choices. You will never regret the EVOMS CAI.

I have heared that the K&N and evo are almost same. what you think?
