Hi guys,

have a short question. I retrofitted a K&N OEM replacement filter on my Audi A3 1.6 liter and I like the engine sound it provides. I wondered how a K&N would sound on my dad's 525d (pre-LCI). Would the diesel enginge snort so nicely as well while revving it? Has anyone experience with that?

It's about this filter.



Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Sebastian

Where did you get the re-map done from?
I have the same 530d as you, and was looking at getting this done. Have you noticed a dramatic increase?
How much did you pay?
