3.0T Cold Air Intake

The IE Cold Air Intake is engineered to enhance airflow and stabilize induction temperatures for Audi B8/B8.5 S4 and S5 3.0T engines. Constructed from aluminum with a durable black powder coat finish, it features a built-in velocity stack and a ram-air design to optimize performance. This system aims to provide an immediate improvement in horsepower and torque across the entire RPM range, accompanied by a distinct supercharger whine. The unique velocity stack design contributes to a refined yet powerful engine note, differentiating it from other aftermarket intakes. For those seeking maximum power, this intake is designed for direct installation with the IE 3.0T Throttle Body Kit (sold separately), featuring a larger inlet silicone adapter for a high-flow transition. Compatibility is specific to the B8 and B8.5 chassis for the S4 (2009-2015) and S5 Coupe 3.0T (2013-2015), and S5 Coupe (2009-2015). It explicitly does not fit early model S5 B8 variants with 4.2L V8 engines. The installation process is described as simple and achievable within 30 minutes with basic tools, utilizing factory-style mounts for a secure fit that allows for natural engine movement. The intake is compatible with stock, Stage 1, Stage 2 Single Pulley, and Stage 2 Double Pulley ECU tunes. Power testing on an in-house chassis dyno has indicated typical peak gains of 15-25+ horsepower and torque on a tuned vehicle.
