Hello, TN! Here's my progress thread. It'll be upgraded as we go.

Factory options:
-Alloys
-Tints

Mods so far:
-Debadged
-5k DDM HID Low Beams
-Magnaflow universal with Silverline Tip

Image


Future Mods
-In-Channel Window Visors
-K&N SRI* or Drop In

I'm holding out on anything K&N for now because I do not want to void my warranty, and I keep hearing things about soiled MAF's and poor filtration when talking of K&N.

One question, though. Do the in-channel visors damage tints on the window?

Thanks for viewing! :chug:

I've had my K&N drop in for over 15k miles with no problem, I'll get the SRI soon too. You should PM PrincessPeach, he's a vendor here and will give you good prices on parts. I'll get mine from him soon too after I take care of the little things first. :facepalm:

cai goes all the way down to the foglights and sucks cold air from the bottom. theres a member on here that has shown with time slips that u get real gains from a full cold air and it sounds nicer imho. only down side is u have to watch during rain not to hydrolock although if there is enough water u can even do it with oem intake(this is why i say u need more balls lol). just get the hydroshield to reduce the risk. sri only goes to about battery location so easier to install. peachy has best prices for both i believe.

Very nice dude.
I'm thinking about getting a SRI for the winter or just flat out selling my CAI. But I looked yesterday and the CAI is like mid-bumper..plus I have hydroshield, also california weather..

But yeah nice mods, you're off to a good start :)

I think Hydroshield is good until ur car gets submerged in water lol.

I hope so anyway,

Does FL get a lot rain? We get a few inches every now and then...I'm not sure what "serious" rain is lol.

It sounds like an animal for an i4! I see minimal gains, too. What bums me, though, is how I cannot clear everything if I installed the heat shield that came with the intake kit. K&N doesn't make an intake for the 2.5's yet, so I went with the 2.4 model, only to find out that 0.1 litres of displacement is enough of a difference to throw off a good fit. To fit the heat shield, I'm either crimping the breather hose or wedging the sensor into some plastic lining.

So long as the sound and minor gains are here to stay without damage, I'm content. One question, though, are the throttle bodies on the 2.4 and 2.5 alike?

Thanks for viewin'!

After 75 miles of hard driving, my engine started to fluctuate weirdly in RPM's while taking off post intake installation. The cone filter was soaked in too much oil from the factory and I immediately put the stock intake back on and cleaned the MAF sensor.

All is back to normal. I returned the intake, I'm not up for getting my MAF sensor killed over some sound and little to no gains.

Tinted tails and window visors will follow!
