Default Intake Options

I have been thinking of mods that I want to do to my newly purchased B8 S4 and I am researching the Intake piece now. I have looked around and only found a couple of options. The AWE and the Stratmosphere. I love the sound of Strat. Does anyone have any suggestions for other intake options or talking points on the + or - of either of the ones I listed?

Thanks

Are there any intakes out there that will not produce that SC whine noise? I don't need people looking at my car because of the noise.

Awe has an intake in the works with dyno showing 9 HP increase. Looks almost stock and doesn't produce sc sound, for those not interested...

I hope AWE is more truthful about not having excessive sound than Stasis is about not having drone. I am tempted to consider the AWE intake.

Same here. Personally I wouldn't consider the Stratmosphere option due to increase noise, but I'm very interested in the AWE one as I've heard there's very little change in sound over stock.

I was talking to the dealer today and he mentioned that he has seen where just adding a K&N filter and boring some 1 inch holes in the back (non visible) side of the filter box will give the same effect. I don't think I want to drill holes in the box but I don't mind the sound. My K&N will be here soon so I will see how that works first (without holes).

If you can follow up after you get it I'd appreciate it, I've been wondering what a K&N would do in the S4.

1-2 H.P at best,throttle response a smidge better but that could be placebo effect.For 50 bucks thats what you can expect.
A.W.E intake on the other hand seems promising.
