For enthusiasts looking to get into a European vehicle, the 2005-2008 (B7 chassis) of the Audi A4 is a great option. The popular engine choice for the B7 would be Audi's 2.0-liter turbocharged FSI (Fuel Stratified Injection) powerplant. This engine features an increased power output from previous years bringing power up to 200 horsepower. An excellent way to increase the performance of the Audi A4's 2.0 TFSI engine is AEM's newly-released Cold Air Intake System, Part Number 21-681C.

AEM's new Cold Air Intake System for the 2005.5-2008 Audi A4 2.0L Turbo

AEM's 21-681C Cold Air Intake System for the 2005.5 (from 5/05) to 2008 Audi A4 2.0L is CARB exempt for these models which means it is 50 state street legal. The intake features a semi-closed heat shield design, a powder coated gun metal gray finish, and a DRYFLOW air filter. AEM engineers created a heat shield that fits snugly into the space between the right headlight and exhaust manifold with the turbocharger. The engineers also took the extra step of molding a heat shield that fits both HID headlight equipped and non-HID headlight equipped models. To withstand the high engine bay temperatures seen under the hood of the Audi, AEM has covered the heat shields in a durable powder coated black finish. Connecting directly to the turbo inlet, the AEM kit includes a smooth mandrel-bent aluminum inlet pipe that replaces the restrictive factory equipment from filter to turbo. Once the intake pipe is connected to the turbo inlet with the supplied transition coupler, the other end is topped with an AEM DRYFLOW 21-202DK performance air filter.

The 21-202DK air filter's construction consists of an inside diameter of 2.75-inches (70mm) by a height of 5.25-inches (133mm). Another nice feature of the AEM Audi A4 intake is the retention of the factory fresh air duct which draws in cool air from the front fascia of the A4.
