Description
IE is proud to announce the best looking and highest performing air intake for the RS3 8V and TTRS 8S platforms. To ensure the highest performance, no corners were cut or expenses spared. A massive air filter, carbon fiber construction, large internal volume, and 4-inch piping diameter ensure the engine breathes sufficiently and realizes large power gains across the entire powerband.
Product Features:
- Flow increase of 42% over the stock air box
- Autoclaved high-quality glass carbon fiber construction - tough, light, and great looking
- Improved throttle response
- Massive oval-shaped air filter - with the inverted front for improved airflow
- Internal velocity stack - increased airflow and secure filter mounting
- 4-inch inlet piping - Great for stock or upgraded turbo cars
- Undergoes thorough appearance and fitment quality control
- Stepped silicone couplers ensure no flow restrictions or turbulence
LEADING 2.5T INTAKE SYSTEM POWER GAINS:
The ram-air design and performance features translate into big power gains. This intake system performs great with upgraded ECU Software or upgraded turbochargers. Stage 2 software yielded greater than 25 Horsepower with the addition of the IE intake.
Increased Air Flow:
An upgraded intake that only looks pretty and doesn’t improve performance isn’t one IE would ever put its name on. Several design features lead to an impressive 42% increase in airflow over stock. Large power gains will be realized on all applications from mild to wild.
Ram-air Design:
The ram-air design ensures that as much air is forced into the intake system as possible. The intake achieves this by feeding cold air in from the front of the car. The front scoop of the IE intake system spans the entire width of the grille collecting all available air. While producing an intake of this size is expensive, it results in the highest performing product.
Carbon Fiber Glass Construction:
Carbon Fiber air intakes not only look great but they also have a key performance advantage of being less heat absorbent. By absorbing less heat intake air temperatures remain cooler than other common construction materials such as sheet metal heat shields and aluminum piping.
4 Inch Carbon Inlet Pipe:
A large diameter 4-inch carbon inlet pipe ensures unrestricted airflow into the turbocharger. This large diameter pipe replaces the substantially smaller factory inlet pipe, allowing the engine to breathe properly.
Massive High-flow Air Filter:
IE engineers incorporated the largest filter possible. In addition to the sheer size, the frontal area of the air filter incorporates a pleated inverted cone which results in more air induction.
2019+ Model Years - IE Diverter Valve Adapter Kit:
2019 and newer model year 2.5T engines are equipped with a complicated new style diverter valve housing that is not compatible with aftermarket intake designs. IE engineers have developed a new multi-piece CNC machined aluminum adapter housing allowing an easy and direct fit of their incredibly popular IE Carbon Cold Air Intake system. The new IE adapter kit is included with this intake.
