X-1 Carbon Fiber Air Intake
The X-1 Intake was developed to deliver the cool, dense, fresh air this tuning requires. Since any turbocharger works on a pressure ratio, the more cool dense air at the compressor's inlet the faster it can achieve requested boost for less lag. The less work the turbo has to do maintain this pressure the less it will HEAT the intake charge. An intake's efficiency can be measured by the amount of pressure drop ahead of the turbos at wide open throttle. The X-1 Intake system measured HALF the pressure drop of an RS4 airbox (-1psi vs -2+psi).
Many already realize the benefit of a large, open element filter. Unfortunately with unshielded designs that benefit is somewhat compromised, especially at lower speeds as the engine may be getting less pressure drop through a big filter, but it's aspirating hot air that's already gone past the intercoolers, radiator, and exhaust manifolds. The X-1 Intake's unique heatshield gathers fresh air from the stock snorkel feed, around the headlight, and in front of the radiator and intercooler; all high-pressure sources of fresh unheated air. The weatherstrip on the top seam of the airbox seals to the underside of the hood when it's closed. Previously an ITG filter was used with our design, but it was found that the newly available AEM Dryflow filters provide both superior flow and lessened contamination of the mass airflow element. Fitment and Installation:The air filter and piping can be sized to fit the stock S4 MAF housing, RS4 MAF, or ANY aftermarket MAF housing. The install job takes some basic tools and the courage to drill two holes in your firewall to mount the Ignition Control Module heatsink. All included hardware is either aluminum or stainless steel, all made in the USA.

The 1996-2001 B5 Audi A4's and S4's have a weakness in that their undersides are not protected from damage from running over objects in the road such as road kill, retreads, and ice chunks. Also, the front springs on these cars are soft which causes the cars to bottom out frequently. Damage can occur when bottoming out. The plastic belly pan that comes with these cars is often damaged. Why replace it with another plastic plate when you can buy an indestructible aluminum skid plate? Installing our hefty .125 inch thick aluminum B5 Panzer Plate skid plate kit will help you avoid costly repairs and give you peace of mind that your engine is protected.

The AWE Tuning Drive Train Stabilizer (DTS) eliminates the excessive engine and transmision torsional movement found in these vehicles. The results are phenomenal throttle response, crisper and more precise shifts, and more power to the ground. The AWE Tuning DTS bolts directly to the undercarriage of the vehicle, using existing hardware and mounting points. No adjustments or modifications are required. The DTS is made of T6-6061 aircraft aluminum and utilizes a high durometer rubber bushing. The entire unit is a lightweight 6 lbs and will fit without clearance issues with any exhaust system currently on the market. 100% fit, 0 vibrations.

The shortcomings of all the pedal sets out there really frustrated us, so we decided to design a set with a clean sheet of paper. Inspired by some of the high dollar pedal kits available from Europe, we melded all our favorite pedal cover features, situated the bolt hole placement to provide proper and easy installation, and offered them at a price that can't be beat.
Key features that set our Sport Pedal Covers apart from the rest:
Rear 21mm H&R Swaybar
H&R swaybars are another solution to further controlling bodyroll over springs and coilovers. They can also be used with the factory original suspension, offering greater roll control with little sacrifice in ride comfort. All H&R swaybars use a teflon mesh lined bushing to eliminate squeaking under movement and the need for periodic lubrication. Trust us when we say that this is a terrific idea!
