$549.95

APR Carbon Fiber Intake System (CI100033)

Product Description

If you're driving a 2016-2020 Audi A3, S3, or any of the other MQB platform vehicles equipped with the 1.8T or 2.0T engines, the APR Carbon Fiber Intake System is a must-have upgrade. While the factory intake does a decent job, it’s designed more for compliance than performance. With restrictions aimed at keeping factory power levels, minimizing engine noise, and extending service intervals, there's significant potential for enhancement.

The APR intake system is engineered to optimize mass airflow, which translates directly into increased horsepower and torque across the power band. You’ll feel a more immediate and responsive throttle response that transforms your driving experience. Plus, the intake amplifies the thrilling sounds of your engine and turbo, making each drive more enjoyable. Depending on your driving style, some users have even reported improved fuel economy!

Customer Feedback

One Audi S3 owner shared, "After installing the APR Carbon Fiber Intake on my 2018 S3, the throttle response is noticeably sharper, and the engine sounds incredible! I can feel the power increase, especially in the mid-range. Plus, the installation was straightforward — it took me about an hour in my garage." Another customer with a 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI noted, "This intake transformed my car. The sound is much more aggressive, and I've seen a slight improvement in fuel economy on the highway."
