Difference between S4 and S5 intake.

What is the difference between an s5 and s4 intake. I know the sensor is all weird but what is the main reason that most companys don't make a intake kit for it?


(I searched and sisn't find it)

Do you mean the airflow meter? The S4 AFM is made of aluminium and uses a swinging flap to measure airflow, and the S5's is plastic and uses a sliding cone. There's nothing weird about it, it's a fairly common design. They both work in basically the same manner and do the same thing.

There are plenty of pod filters that will fit the S5 AFM. Anything with a 2.5" neck ID will fit right on. No "kit" is required.

Companies like Apexi do, just not Apexi. HKS for example.

Be careful of those ebay adaptors. Most are just a peice of pipe welded to a plate with a square hole, and flow like ****. Get a cast one like the one on this page instead, which has a properly shaped transition.
