what exactly is a resticture? LOL

on a serious note though, nah

Nope, there shouldn't be any temperature restrictions with the aFe. Your car will actually run better in colder weather, more cold air

2kaccordocoupe · 11-10-2008, 03:39 PM

colder air = more power and less traction... what could possibly go wrong

Dan335i · 11-10-2008, 04:47 PM

Funny but i get better mpg when its hot out then when its cold.Thats with spirited driving in both climates.

sd390r · 11-10-2008, 08:59 PM

i think hes talking about crazy low temps... hes in moscow russia lol it gets pretty damn cold out there, no?

hes probably asking about below 0 temps

I don't think IAT can get too cold :P

cold weather's always good for FI.

Here in sunny Southern California, it never gets too cold... but I can understand the concern for oiled filters in subzero weather... like cold enough for hot coffee to freeze in mid air when spilled. K&N can probably answer this question about oiled filter materials in arctic conditions.

JOe335i · 11-10-2008, 10:39 PM

Doesnt the N54 limit boost the colder it gets? since the engine can make that set power easier in colder weather, the car limits boost.

As far as your intake is concerned...and the filter...there is no real temperature barrier. I think that the only concern you should have is your car starting in general in super cold weather. The intake will not be the limiting factor in cold temps

maximka · 11-11-2008, 05:08 AM

in moscow temperature can easily achive -20 - 30 .. =( and second question. there are 2 types of afe filter: pro dry s and pro 5r, what`s popular. better??

In chicago, temps can reach the same...car runs like a champ

Skip the afe...get some dual cones and save yourself a few hundred...yes, the AFE looks more polished, I agree. but I think if anything has been proven, its that these intakes all produce roughly similar gains...(just depends whether you care about perfect looking fit/finish, or the more racer dual cone look
