Hi everyone,

I have a '98 A4 1.8T quattro, that is all stock. I've had the car for two years and have not replaced the air filter yet. I was thinking about getting a cone filter, but from searching around the forum it seems that the general consensus is that it is worse because it sucks hot air.

I would like to ask what filter should I get? If cone filters are bad, then should I get a flat K&N or from the dealer or something else?

I would like to improve airflow if possible, while at it. For example if there is a mod for the airbox that yields good results.

I did search the forums, but other than saying that cone filters are bad there are no specific suggestions what filter to get when it needs to be replaced.

Buy a good quality paper filter for best results.

So just to help me figure out what you consider good quality... I checked the local auto parts stores and the more expensive (hopefully good quality) filters are Wix and ACDelco. Is that what you meant?

Stick with a quality OEM filter from Mann or Mahle.
