The K&N 57-0593 Performance Air Intake System delivers more airflow to 2000-2004 Audi A4 models equipped with the 1.8L turbo engine producing 150BHP. This 57i Series kit replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a large open-element filter and mandrel-bent aluminum tubing for dyno-proven power gains up to 8.65 HP at 5790 RPM. Drivers experience sharper throttle response and a distinctive engine sound while enjoying a washable filter that lasts up to 100000 miles.
Key Features
- High-Flow Air Filter: Mandrel-bent aluminum tube and oversized cotton gauze filter provide low restriction airflow exceeding stock systems for consistent power across the RPM range.
- Power Gains: Dyno-tested to add 8.65 HP at 5790 RPM by freeing the engine from factory airbox limitations and increasing filter surface area.
- Easy Installation: Bolt-on design completes in 90 minutes or less using basic hand tools with no permanent vehicle modifications required.
- Long Service Life: Washable and reusable filter holds more contaminants extending intervals to 100000 miles between cleanings depending on conditions.
- Directly connects to throttle body using steel aluminum or reinforced nylon components.
- Easy bolt-on designs proven on dynamometers for real-world horsepower increases.
