Show original supplier description
The CT 3.5" Cold Air Intake system is engineered to give your vehicle unrestricted airflow, leading to potential increases in horsepower and torque across the entire power band, along with an aggressive, race-inspired sound. The system integrates seamlessly with the OEM air scoop, forcing cold air into a sealed airbox and then through a 3.5" high-flow, reusable air filter with an inverted cone design for optimal engine breathing. The intake pipe is constructed from 3.5" CNC mandrel-bent aluminum with a black powder coating, ensuring smooth air entry into the engine and minimizing turbulence. Key components include the sealed air box, bracketry to prevent rattling under engine torquing, and 4-ply silicon connectors with stainless steel clamps. An optional Billet SAI breather adapter and filter are also available. It is important to note that this intake system is not for sale or use in the state of California on any pollution-controlled vehicle, as per the California Air Resources Board. This intake is specifically designed for VW/Audi MQB 1.8T/2.0T Gen3 platforms. Applicable vehicles include various Audi 8V S3, A3, and MK3 TT models, as well as Volkswagen Alltrack, Golf VII, Golf VII R, and Jetta VII models with the specified engines. Some models require specific fitment confirmation via the vehicle selector, and some 2.0T models are for vehicles without secondary air injection only.
