[V6-12v] K & N

[The CyberPoet]

I haven't used one on an Audi, but I know this from my motorcycle 
experiences:
Generally, they flow less air at idle, about the same as stock at 
mid-RPM's and flow more than stock at high RPM's. Since the fuel-air 
mixture is controlled by the O2 sensors, the main benefit would be if 
you tend to run at high RPM's.

KNOW THIS:
The filter material is oiled cotton gauze. This is only effective for 
as a long as the oil remains tacky and viable. Thus, unlike a 
paper-element filter which actually filters more with age (because the 
pores are clogging up), the K&N filters less with age, and if ignored 
too long, may effectively not filter at all. Price the wash/re-oiling 
kit when figuring into the life-cycle costs.
