Lingenfelter or K&N Intake?? I have a stock '04 A4. I will be getting the slp diablosport I ordered within the next week and I plan on getting a cold air intake next. I have narrowed it down to LPE and K&N. I just want to get your guys opinions on both. The positives and negatives. Imo the K&N looks better but I've heard the LPE relocates the IAT sensor behind the heat shield??

We ran my car on the dyno once with the LPE air filter on and once without it and the results were identical. So it's safe to say that wasn't a bottleneck for my airflow at all. The hot spot for the intake is the hot air from the radiator that blows directly on the intake tube. I wrapped my tube with heat barrier material and it made a huge difference a long as the car is moving to bring in cool air; it all heats up in traffic though.
Here's a link to an LS2 Heat Soak Reduction Kit
