AWE S-FLO 4.5in Carbon Inlet Tube for 2017-2026 Audi RS3 and 2018-2022 TT RS

The RS3 and TT RS share the 2.5-liter TFSI five-cylinder, and the factory intake feeds it through a 3-inch path that becomes the first restriction once the turbo is asked for more boost. AWE built its 4.5in S-FLO Carbon Intake Suite to remove that restriction, and it calls it the largest constant-diameter intake system available for the 8V/8Y RS 3 and Mk3 TT RS.

The suite is modular. You can start with the S-FLO Carbon Inlet Tube, move to the S-FLO Shortie Carbon Intake, combine both into the Open Carbon Intake System, or go to the Closed Carbon Intake System with its full carbon airbox. Every piece is genuine 2x2 carbon fiber finished in UV-stabilized resin and clear coat, designed, engineered and tested in-house at AWE.

The 4.5in S-FLO Carbon Inlet Tube bridges the gap between the factory airbox and the turbo inlet pipe, removing the primary restriction from the 2.5T intake path while keeping the stock airbox. AWE built it for drivers who want the most out of the factory airbox along with sharper throttle response, and it is the first step toward the Open and Closed systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I have a 4in aftermarket turbo inlet pipe?
The intake ships with 4.5in-to-3in couplers for the factory 3in turbo inlet pipe. For a 4in aftermarket pipe, add the AWE S-FLO 4in Coupler 7260-11002.

Can I upgrade later?
Yes. The suite is modular, so the Inlet Tube and Shortie combine into the Open system, and the Closed system adds the carbon airbox.

Do I need to replace the airbox?
No. The tube is designed to work with the factory airbox.
