Actually Apexi's filter is good quality stuff, but the HKS one does suck donkey ***** at filtering. Another good one is the K&N and Bonez filter. They both use the same style filters, you even use the K&N recharge kit on the Bonez, but the bonez is cheaper. On the s4 NA's (not sure on turbos) you have to do some creative engineering to get the afm to sit the right way, since it tells you to relocate it. Its not too hard, there is a writeup on aaroncake.net on how to do it.

If you have an autozone store near you, check out their Spectre filter, it flows better than a K&N, and filters just as well. A local guy dyno'd his truck (twin turbo 1000hp '03 Silverado) with and without the filters and noticed only ~2hp difference.

There isnt a decent kit for the 7. Your best bet is to get some 3" piping and route your own. But dont just put the filter anywhere, you dont want to be sucking in a bunch of hot engine bay air.
