AWE S-FLO Shortie Carbon Intake 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 S-FLO Shortie Carbon Intake replaces the factory airbox with a large S-FLO Filter with a frontal opening, giving 30% more filter surface area than stock, and a 4.5in carbon elbow, all held by a bespoke CNC laser-cut stainless support bracket. AWE built it for drivers who want to uncork the five-cylinder's turbo sounds, and it combines with the Carbon Inlet Tube to become the Open Carbon Intake System.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my car need the DV Adapter Kit?
Yes if it is a 2019 or newer model. The kit is a billet 6061 aluminum adapter with two oil-resistant o-rings, two worm-drive clamps and 8.75in of high-temp silicone hose.

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.
