Overview

The CTS Turbo A3 8P 3.2L Air Intake System is a high-performance component designed for the Audi A3 8P with the 3.2L VR6 engine. It features a design that allows for smooth entry of cold air into the engine.

Show original supplier description

The CTS Turbo A3 8P 3.2L Air Intake System is engineered to enhance performance for the Audi A3 8P 3.2L. This system integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's OEM air scoop and a custom-designed sealed airbox, compelling cold air to enter the intake. The core of the system is a high-flow cone air filter, specifically designed with an inverted cone shape to maximize engine breathing and optimize airflow. This design contributes to significant power gains, estimated between 9-15HP, and provides increased horsepower and torque across the entire power band. Additionally, the intake system delivers an aggressive, race-inspired sound. It is important to confirm fitment before ordering, as Fitment Industries' return policy notes that if their sales team recommends an incompatible setup, they will work to resolve the issue. Returns may be subject to restocking fees, especially if items show signs of installation or damage. It is advised to test-fit the product before mounting tires or driving on it.
