I have a 2001 model of the S40 and I havent done much research on it until lately. My car is currently in the shop getting a new engine but I wish to put a new air intake on it too once I get it back. I've been searching for one to go with my 1.9t but can't find one that would go with it but I have seen some for a 2.0t. Will this work or is there just no aftermarket air intake for my car?

 

I have had 2 different ones on my 01 s40, an open cone filter set-up'd myself and then now i have a K&N drop in now, K&N works better but doesn't make as good of noise.

Here are some videos of it.

unbolt you maf air sensor from the stock airbox and a 3in conical airfilter will fit right on it thats what i did on my 2002 S40 and it only cost me 25.00 and some zip ties keep your stock air box though i have to put mine back togther to get it somgged every year here in california

 

I had open cone filter but i ended up losing power from it so took it off.

 

what is the K&N drop in?

 

Drop in filter replacement from the stock one, allows you to keep your airbox, and in Texas, where road temperature's reach 140+, you need a box since cold air is a little hard to get.
