APR CI100040 Open Carbon Fiber Intake System for Select Audi & VW 2015-2026 (1.8T / 2.0T)

Fits select 2015-2026 Audi A3, S3, Q3, TT, and Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Golf R, Jetta GLI, and Arteon (1.8T / 2.0T).

The APR Open Carbon Fiber Intake System is engineered to eliminate the restrictions of the factory airbox, delivering a 60% increase in airflow and a dramatic improvement in throttle response. By utilizing a massive 7-inch washable cotton filter with a 4-inch rear outlet, this system reduces pressure drop across the intake tract, allowing your turbocharger to operate more efficiently. The open-element design not only increases performance but also provides a more aggressive, intoxicating engine note.

Construction features thin-walled carbon fiber inlet pipes that maximize internal diameter compared to standard plastic or metal alternatives. The included carbon fiber heat shield is specifically shaped to deflect radiant heat from the radiator while directing cooler frontal air into the intake. This system is fully compatible with factory or APR rear intake tubes and turbo inlet pipes for a straightforward installation.
