They will only service what you tell them to service.
If you have a k&n or itg panel filter just tell them not to throw it or change the air filter and they will knock this cost off the overall service cost!
I fitted an ITG panel filter, this does change the induction noise but not by a great deal.
The one thing that was very apparent was the difference in thickness, the ITG filter is half the size.
Unless you are deciding on mapping your car I would stick to the factory filter.

The car is mapped - it actually sounds better than before it was remapped, a bit 'angrier' due to extra air going in? that led me to thinking about a free-flow air filter - maybe that would increase induction noise too? In a good way!!
for me free flow = more sh!t into the engine, the RS4 runs fine on a paper filter, and catches far more crud. I know which one I'll stick with.
