Cone Air Filter

Recommended Posts

Just bought a 2005 A4 1.8T Cabriolet as a weekend cruiser in anticipation of hot 2021 summers.

The previous owner has fitted a cone air intake but provided the original air box.

Would you suggest leaving it installed or reinstalling the original air box and filter?

Thanks...

Hello Dave,

Many thanks for being in touch. 

Good question, for which there will no doubt be varying opinion. 

It sounds like the previous owner liked his mods/drove this enthusiastically, and ultimately the decision whether to revert to ‘How Audi designed it’ or not, becomes a personal thing. 

If it were mine, then originality would be king, and back in goes the original filter set up. If you prefer mods and enthusiastic driving then you could choose to leave it, and even consider adding other ‘upgrades’. 

Not sure if this really helps Dave.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi Gareth,

I’m like you with originality.

I was interested to under if there were any performances or potential engine issues with leaving the cone on.

if not then I’ll probably leave it on till the weather improves any swap it out for the factory air box.

Cheers.
