3.5-Inch Cold Air Intake System

The Integrated Engineering IEINCI11 Cold Air Intake System is engineered for MQB platform VW and Audi vehicles equipped with EA888 Gen 3 2.0T and 1.8T engines. This system boasts a large 3.5-inch intake piping diameter and a 5-inch air filter, combined with smooth 3-ply silicone couplers, to significantly enhance airflow for tuned engines and those with hybrid or larger turbo setups. The intake design incorporates a robust aluminum alloy heat shield that effectively channels high-pressure outside air from the front grill directly to the integrated velocity stack and air filter. This design seals off hot engine bay air, providing superior heat resistance. The built-in motorsport-style velocity stack with a bellmouth shape efficiently channels airflow to the intake piping with minimal turbulence, while the free-flow design amplifies engine and turbo sounds for an engaging driving experience. The system utilizes factory-style mounts for a hassle-free, perfect fit. For those in harsh climates, an optional upgraded filter with a pre-filter sock offers superior filtration against contaminants. The intake is also 50-state CARB legal (EO Number D-838-1), ensuring emissions compliance. Important fitment notes apply: This intake does not fit Audi A3 engines equipped with a MAF sensor, commonly found in FWD models. VW Arteon models are not compatible with the optional carbon fiber lid without washer filler neck relocation and require the IE Turbo Inlet Pipe upgrade, sold separately. Some European models may require modification to the heat shield to accommodate a front-mounted crash sensor.
