Audi VW Open Air Intake System - APR CI100040

The APR Open Carbon Fiber Intake System is the ultimate intake system for the 1.8T/2.0T Engine! We've maximized performance and sound dramatically by reducing pressure drop and increasing airflow. This translates to more horsepower and torque, and less physical strain on the turbocharger. The system looks great, sounds amazing, and produces more horsepower and torque you can feel.

Our beautiful carbon fiber intake system does away with the closed airbox design and uses a massive 7" washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4" rear outlet. This was necessary to limit pressure drop across the factory system and maximize airflow, while allowing you to fully hear the engine breathe! The massive filter provides excellent filtration. By oversizing the filter, we're able to limit pressure drop without sacrificing filtration. This is made possible through the use of greatly increased filter surface area. Carbon fiber not only looks great, but it allows us to make a complex and organic heat shield shape that keeps hot air pushed through the frontal radiator away from the intake tract. Furthermore carbon fiber allows us to limit wall thickness on the intake pipe, maximizing the pipe's internal diameter and thus airflow. Lastly, carbon fiber retains heat less than other materials, such as metal, making it ideal for performance.

• Beautiful and functional carbon fiber heat shield
• Thin-walled carbon fiber inlet pipes for maximum airflow through a larger internal ID
• Massive 7” washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4” rear outlet
• Creates an intoxicating intake sound in the engine bay
• Improves throttle response
• Lessens pressure drop
• Lessens strain on the turbocharger
• Lessens heat retention compared to other materials, such as metal

EMISSIONS:

This part is legal under the provisions of EPA’s Tampering Policy dated November 23rd, 2020. The company has reasonable basis (test results) to verify that this product allows the vehicle to operate within legal emissions standards and is therefore legal to be sold for on-street use in all states that accept the legal provisions of the Clean Air Act and the EPA Tampering Policy. This product is NOT LEGAL FOR SALE OR USE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. Testing with the California Air Resources Board, in order to achieve 50-state compliance, is pending with CARB. Once testing is complete with California, and an E.O. number is issued, this product will be updated to 50-state legal status.

TECH RESOURCES:

• Install Instructions
• Note: Models with Secondary Air Injection (SAI) require a breather filter CI100020-A. To fit this to 2.0T Ea888.3b engines with a MAF sensor on the intake tube, use our MAF adapter CI100051. This system is not compatible with the MS100100 intake-mounted Catch Can System.
