For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The APR Closed Carbon Fiber Intake System (CI100023) is a premier performance and aesthetic upgrade for Audi B8/B8.5 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder engines. By replacing the restrictive factory airbox with a high-flow, closed-element carbon fiber housing, this system optimizes mass airflow while providing superior filtration. It creates a direct, high-velocity induction path that eliminates the flimsy factory rubber inlet snorkel—a known weak point that can collapse under high load and stifle power delivery.
For 3.0T Supercharged owners, this system provides even greater benefits by removing the factory sound-dampening resonator and smoothing the path to the supercharger. Testing has shown immediate gains of up to 11 AWHP on Stage 1 3.0T vehicles, with gains increasing as power levels rise. On the 4.2L V8 platform, enthusiasts can expect a consistent 10 HP increase throughout the rev range. Beyond the numbers, this intake delivers sharper throttle response, lower intake air temperatures (IAT), and a more aggressive supercharger whine or engine growl.
Features:
- Proven Power Gains: Delivers up to 11 AWHP on 3.0T models and 10 HP on 4.2L V8 models on otherwise stock vehicles.
- Carbon Fiber Construction: A beautiful, high-gloss closed system that acts as a thermal barrier against engine bay heat.
- Optimized Airflow: Removes the restrictive factory resonator and the prone-to-collapse rubber inlet snorkel.
- Ram-Air Design: Utilizes the high-pressure zone at the front of the vehicle to force cool air directly into the filter.
- High-Flow Filtration: Includes a premium pleated cotton gauze filter that is washable and reusable for long-term service.
- Enhanced Sound: Unlocks the natural acoustic character of the engine while maintaining a refined, "OEM-plus" appearance.
Product Contains:
- (1) Carbon Fiber Airbox Assembly
- (1) High-Flow Pleated Cotton Gauze Filter
- (1) Set of Stainless Steel Mounting Hardware and Clamps
Note for 3.0T Owners: To maximize the mass airflow gains mentioned above (reaching 15 AWHP), we highly recommend pairing this airbox with the APR Carbon Fiber Rear Supercharger Inlet Pipe.
Warranty: This product is supported by a Manufacturer's Warranty. Note: Manufacturer warranty terms are subject to change.
