Best intake is the stock air box. You might get an extra few hp at redline, but you'll likely lose a bit of low end power. It's the nature of intakes. Unless you have a monster FI setup that requires the extra breathing space, it's not necessary, and you won't gain much, if anything other than a nasty growl.

Please don't put an S4 grille on your A4. Thats just plain misrepresentation [8D]

Stock 12v's are the best anyways. Raw reliability.

the only reason i want an s4 grille is b/c mine is cracked, and i like the look of the mesh.... anyways, someone who can notice the difference will realize that its not an s4

Great. I'm just messing with you man. It's your car.

How about putting the same amount of effort into a response for the answer I gave to your original question? [8D]

Enlighten me on what a SXTB is?
