Carbon Fiber Intake System 4-Inch

The Integrated Engineering IE Carbon Fiber Intake System is engineered to be the best performing and best looking air intake for the Audi RS3 8V and TTRS 8S. It boasts a ram-air design that feeds cold air from the front of the car, spanning the entire grille width to collect maximum available air. The system features a large 4-inch carbon inlet pipe, replacing the smaller factory pipe for unrestricted airflow into the turbocharger, and a massive high-flow air filter with a pleated inverted cone for increased air induction. Constructed from carbon fiber, this intake offers a performance advantage by absorbing less heat than materials like aluminum, leading to cooler intake air temperatures. This design results in an impressive 42% increase in airflow over stock, translating to substantial power gains on all applications, especially when paired with upgraded ECU software or turbochargers. Stage 2 software has shown gains of over 25 horsepower with the addition of this intake. Installation typically takes about an hour with basic tools. However, for 2019 and newer model year engines, an additional IE Diverter Valve Adapter Kit (IEINCQ1-16), sold separately, is required due to a different diverter valve housing design. It is crucial to add this adapter kit to your order if you have a 2019 or newer RS model. Additionally, other adapter kits may be needed depending on your specific turbo inlet size. This intake system is compatible with the Audi RS3 8V (2017-2020 Sedan, 2.5T), Audi RS3 8Y (2022-2024 Sedan, 2.5T), and Audi TT-RS Mk3 (2018+, 2.5T).
