APR Open Carbon Fiber Intake System for Audi A4 | S4 | A5 | S5 | Q5 | SQ5 2009-2017
$549.95

Product Description

If you’re looking to unleash the true potential of your 3.0 TFSI, the APR Open Carbon Fiber Intake System is where it's at. Let’s be real—the factory intake is pretty much a bottleneck, especially when you start pushing the horsepower envelope. That’s why APR decided to toss the restrictive airbox and go for a full-on open design. Installation? A breeze. You can have this bad boy in place in just a few minutes.

What sets this intake apart is the gorgeous carbon fiber air-dam that channels air directly into a hefty 7" filter with a frontal inlet. This design is not just about looks; it’s engineered to maximize airflow. Plus, it comes with a robust T304 stainless steel heat shield and an air buffer-gap that helps keep engine heat from messing with your intake temps. The 4" inlet is versatile too—you can hook it up to the factory setup or upgrade to the APR Ultracharger System without missing a beat.

Now, let’s talk numbers. On the flow bench, we saw gains of up to 268 CFM at 28" of H2O compared to the stock intake. What does that mean for you? An average boost of 17 AWHP over the factory setup, especially when you’re running Stage 2+ on 93 octane. And trust me, the sound from the supercharger? It’s a symphony of power that you’ll want to crank up every time you hit the gas.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you get with this intake:

  • Massive airflow improvements that you can feel
  • 502 CFM at 28" of H2O with the stock setup
  • 770 CFM at 28" of H2O when paired with the APR Ultracharger
  • Real-world power gains: 17 AWHP @ Stage 2+ (93 octane)
  • Stylish and functional carbon fiber air-dam
  • Durable T304 stainless steel heat shield
  • Large 7" cotton filter with frontal inlet
  • Includes SAI breather filter for extra performance
  • Solid billet-aluminum mounting feet
  • 4" flange adapter made from billet-aluminum
  • Compatible with both stock and APR Ultracharger setups
  • Quick and easy installation—seriously, just minutes
