Does anyone know if there's a K&N FIPK for a S5 turbo?

I know Mariah sells a kit for the S5 but they wouldn't say if the K&N FIPK is the same exact one from the S4 kit they sell. Can anyone confirm that the K&N FIPK that comes with the Mariah kits are all the same? If not, does anyone know if the S4 K&N FIPK will fit on the S5?

Thanks

 

It seems like a waste to me. Just buy a generic K&N cone filter, build a custom airbox and call it a day. I doubt the K&N kit is anything more than the adaptor and a generic cone filter anyway, which simply makes it a hot air intake.

 

You're right, it's only an adapter with the filter. However, there's that CARB sticker that comes with it which is my belief of the over price on the kits. Worse comes to worse, I'll just run a cone filter and use the Mariah box...Price wise it'll probably be 100-200 cheaper if I do go this route (Mariah Kit- $353... Comapared to- Adapter $20, Filter $15-$30, Mariah Box $120)

 

Ah, CARB. Glad I don't have to deal with that. That could be a good portion of the overcharge for those who have to worry about emissions testing.

For an S5, you don't need the adaptor. The S5 AFM has a round opening.

 

To answer your question, yes. Their K&N/Cold Air Box kit will work with either S4 or S5 TII's. Just don't need the filter adaptor on a S5 application.

I'm running Mariah's K&N/Cold Air Box in my S5 TurboVert. As time goes by, the Smog situation in California will only get worst. So you're being long term view smart to go with a Cone Filter with a CARB number. HKS also makes (or at least made) a CARB approved cone filter. The cost savings to going with a non-CARB stickerd filter goes away quickly and then some by the costs of dealing with just one fix it situation.

And, you're also being smart including in your plans some sort of heat partition as in Mariah's cold air box. Cone filter is certainly more free slowing, but the gains are lost once the engine heats up and instead of sucking cold air into your combustion you sucking air heated by the near- by exhaust manifold flowing up to 1400 degree exhaust.

 

If you build a box that hides the filter, your odds of having smog troubles diminish. I have an AEM filter, which I don't think has a CARB number, but since it's tucked inside a box, no one has gone looking so far. Alternatively, you can also just put the stock airbox back before a test.
