Default Connected the K&N Cone Filter....

Using some homemade means, I connected the K&N cone filter to the airbox via a
mandrel bent pipe.

Default MAF data's looking good....

Here's 3 sets of data on my car (APR Stage 3) which show the following combinations of Airbox Hole Mod and Filter:

Blue - Stock S4 Airbox, OEM Audi Filter
Orange - S4 Airbox with 3" hole, OEM Audi Filter
Green - Stock S4 Airbox, K&amp;N Cone Filter

Trendlines from the above graph:

Thats odd, so you lost airflow with the 3 inch hole over stock

Default Mark - do you have a picture or spec's of the pipe you used to connect the cone intake?

Awesome job on detailing your procedure and testing here!

The text you typed doesn't match the labels in the graph legend.

I second that and would like to know the dimensions of the pipe and the bend deg/radius.
