which air filter to get?

[jnewman0909]

Well I have a 2000 audi a6 2.7t quattro and I was trying to figure out which air filter I should go with

[TheFastA4]

well i had the afe pro dry s and didnt like it. im back with the oem one and have seen a better mpg and butt dyno says better power. im ordering the bmc one. from what ive heard its the best there is on the market. will let you know how its goes.

i dont drive an a6 i drive a b7 a4 2.0t

[jnewman0909]

What about k&n does that give u better gas also?

[DizkoDan]

I think the general consensus is to stick with the stock paper (mann) filter. Personally, I bought a k&n shortly after I got my car. I really never noticed any difference.

You should look into the Amsoil Ea air filters.

[jnewman0909]

is that the best to go for when it comes to a new air filter? i want the best for my audi

[n3985]

"Best" can be argued but Amsoil can't be beat from a flow or filtering perspective when it comes to non-oiled filters. I've switched from K&N to Amsoil in my previous cars and currently running one in my A6 and have no complaints.

what are the pluses from going to stock to that one?

MANN

I've been running a K&N for 120+k miles and there was no power or mpg difference. I just have not had to buy another air filter. If you go this route, make sure you drain the oil real well from the filter so it does not mess up the MAF sensor.

Stock is best either Mahle or Mann.

i just switched over to the k&n drop in. noticed power and mpg difference. I dropped it right in and didnt take any oil off. No problems with the maf. Dry flow filters can not flow as much air as oil based filters without sacrificing the filtering part.
