S4/S5 intake question
Ok, I know this is probably a stupid question, but I have heard that on s4's you need an adaptor for a cone filter, but on an s5, you don't. How come all the kits I see for intakes for s5's have other hardware if your supposed to just be able to bolt up the filter to the stock intake pipe?

Its easier and cheaper to make 1 kit that will fit a wider range of cars, even if some people will have left over parts. Look at radiators. Not hi-pro rads, just stock replacements for an every day car like a Ford Escort or Mazda MX-3. An OEM replacement radiator is going to have hook ups for auto tranny cooler lines, even if you order one for a car with a manual tranny. Its easier for them to make 1 type to fit all cars instead of 1 type for a manual car, and another for an automatic.
