5-Inch Intake System with 6-Inch Filter

The CTS Turbo 5″ Intake System is engineered to elevate the performance of your Audi 8V/8Y RS3 and Cupra Formentor VZ5. This system aims to maximize airflow, boost power, and enhance the auditory experience of your turbocharged engine. At its core is a custom-designed 6″ velocity stack air filter, paired with a 5″ intake pipe. This setup facilitates smooth, unrestricted airflow, contributing to improved throttle response, greater turbo efficiency, and overall horsepower gains. The integrated rotomolded air scoop is crucial for performance, as it captures and directs cool ambient air from the front of the vehicle directly to the filter. This ensures lower intake air temperatures, which is vital for maintaining optimal performance, especially during spirited driving or track use. The construction of the intake system utilizes a combination of lightweight rotomolded polymer and aluminum piping, chosen for their durability, heat resistance, and ability to support superior airflow. A sleek black powder-coated finish is applied for a premium aesthetic under the hood. Versatility is a key design element, with two silicone couplers included. One is for the stock turbo inlet pipe, while a larger coupler is provided for the CTS Turbo 4″ upgraded turbo inlet pipe. This dual compatibility ensures the system can integrate seamlessly with both OEM and performance-oriented upgraded turbo setups. The benefits extend beyond raw performance metrics. Users can expect noticeable improvements in horsepower, torque, and a quicker turbo spool time due to the reduced airflow restriction. The system is precisely designed to fit the Audi RS3 engine bay, complementing its modern aesthetics while providing tangible performance results.
