Your VW MK8 GTI, Golf R, or Audi S3 factory airbox is a highly restrictive design that suppresses power and engine sound. We have engineered the iE MK8 Air Intake System with true motorsport features to maximize air supply and flow rates, liberating your driving fun with added power and an endless supply of addicting throttle and turbo noises.
Elevate your style with our optional high-gloss carbon fiber lid that spans the entire length of your intake. This simple upgrade completely transforms the look of your engine bay, giving it a high-end, show-stopping appearance.
Deflect performance-killing heat with an intake that sports an aluminum alloy heat shield. Spanning the entire length of the front clip it seals off hot engine bay air. High-pressure outside air is channeled from the front grill directly to an integrated velocity stack and air filter.
Throttle growls, turbo whistles, engine snarls—call it what you want. Our high-velocity bellmouth and free-flow design unmuzzles your engine with unique, satisfying notes and turbo sounds. Switch the radio off and smash the throttle pedal to conduct your own symphony of addictive engine noise.
With this adaptable design, you’re good to go for future turbo upgrades. This is a single-piece turbo inlet, so there’s no need for silicone couplers. That means fewer transitions and less power-robbing turbulence. With the included turbo adapter, you’ll get great flow without buying another inlet to complete your intake system. Install is a snap, just three clamps.
Lifted from the pages of professional race engineering, our built-in velocity stack bellmouth shape is designed to deliver huge gulps of air that flow efficiently from the 5" air filter surface area to the intake piping. This true motorsport design feature is built for maximum airflow with minimal drag and power-robbing turbulence.
