4.5” of pure, modular carbon power. Presenting the S-FLO Carbon Intake Suite for the Audi 8V/8Y RS 3 and MK3 TT RS:
Upgrade path:
The S-FLO Carbon Intake Suite is modular by design allowing an easy evolution from the S-FLO Inlet Tube or S-FLO Shortie Carbon Intake to the full S-FLO Carbon Intake Systems (open or closed). Go all-in with the S-FLO Closed Carbon Intake System, or tackle it in phases. Your call.
[Option 1] S-FLO Carbon Inlet Tube:
The S-FLO Carbon Inlet Tube is the largest amongst its peers, with impressive adaptability to facilitate maximum gains. The colossal 4.5” S-FLO Carbon Inlet tube bridges the gap between the turbo inlet pipe and the factory airbox seamlessly.
The S-FLO Carbon Inlet Tube is for drivers looking to extract the most out of their factory airbox while increasing throttle response.
[Option 2] S-FLO Shortie Carbon Intake:
The S-FLO Shortie Carbon Intakes replaces the factory airbox with a massive S-FLO Filter with frontal opening toting a 30% increase in filter surface area, and a 4.5” carbon elbow. All firmly planted via a bespoke CNC laser-cut stainless support bracket.
The S-FLO Shortie Carbon Intake is the perfect configuration for drivers looking to uncork beloved turbo noises out of their RS 3.
[Option 3] S-FLO Open Carbon Intake System:
Combine the S-FLO Carbon Inlet Tube with the Shortie Carbon Intake, and you have the impressive (and very vocal) S-FLO Open Carbon Intake System.
A full 4.5” diameter configuration from S-FLO Filter to turbo inlet coupler, this version delivers an increase of 7 hp and 3 ft-lbs of torque at the wheels with an ample dose of turbo induction and diverter valve sounds with each rip of boost.
[Option 4] S-FLO Closed Carbon Intake System:
The S-FLO Closed Carbon Intake System combines each component of the S-FLO suite and adds a bespoke carbon air box. Spanning the entire width of the grille, the S-FLO Closed Carbon Intake is capable of collecting all of the cold air from the front of the vehicle to feed it into the S-FLO Filter.
Thanks to the 2x2 carbon fiber construction, heat soak is subdued during hard driving while the increase in air box volume ensures the 2.5T never runs scarce of cold air.
The S-FLO Closed Carbon Intake System unlocks 17 hp and 6 ft-lbs of torque at the wheels, and is capable of handling any higher-than-stock boost level thrown at it.
[Add-on] S-FLO 4” Coupler:
The S-FLO Carbon Inlet Tube, Shortie Carbon Intake, and Open/Closed S-FLO Carbon Intake Systems come complete with a 4.5” to 3” couplers to mate to the factory 3” turbo inlet pipe. The S-FLO 4” Coupler transitions from 4.5” to 4” to accommodate aftermarket turbo inlet pipes that are 4” in diameter and is available separately (SKU: 7260-11002).
[Add-on, required for 2019+] DV Adapter Kit:
The DV Adapter Kit is a an adapter machined in-house out of billet 6061 aluminum for 2019+ models. The kit includes the DV adapter, two oil resistant o-rings, two worm-drive clamps, and 8.75" of high temp silicone hose.
Important Notes:
- 2019+ models require the additional DV Adapter Kit
- The AWE 4.5" S-FLO Carbon Intake Suite is for racing use only
