CI100041 APR Open PEX Air Intake System
The APR Open PEX Intake System is designed for the 1.8T/2.0T Engine, offering the best dollar-per-horsepower intake system. It significantly improves performance and sound by reducing pressure drop and increasing airflow, resulting in more horsepower and torque with less strain on the turbocharger. The system features a massive 7” washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4” rear outlet, and a PEX material construction for enhanced heat management.
- Requires Specific Adapters: Models with Secondary Air Injection (SAI) require a breather filter (CI100020-A). Use our MAF adapter for 2.0T Ea888.3b engines with an MAF sensor on the intake tube (CI100051).
- Not Compatible with Catch Can System: This system is incompatible with the MS100100 intake-mounted Catch Can System.
Features
High-Performance Design
- Air Intake System Design: The open airbox design with a massive 7” cotton filter maximizes airflow and reduces pressure drop.
- High-Flow Air Filter: The filter provides excellent filtration and minimizes pressure drop through increased surface area.
- Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Intake Pipe: The 3.5″ CNC mandrel-bent aluminum intake pipe ensures smooth airflow and minimizes turbulence.
Enhanced Performance and Sound
- Increased Horsepower and Torque: The system delivers noticeable gains in horsepower and torque throughout the entire power band.
- Sound Enhancement: You should disable the Soundaktor (noise amplifier) to fully appreciate the engine’s true sound and eliminate excessive drones.
Technical Specifications
-
Flow Bench and Power Testing: The factory intake system flows 521 CFM at 28” of H2O, while the APR open airbox flows 833 CFM, a 60% improvement. The full APR system brings this to 345 CFM, a 25% improvement over stock, resulting in significant power gains
- Performance Gains: On a fully bolted-on APR Tuned S3, the system achieved max gains of 12 AWHP and 13 AWFT-LBS of torque compared to stock.
Product Details
- Construction: Mandrel bent large bore 3.5″ aluminum piping with black powder coating.
- Filter: 3.5″ reusable air filter with inverted cone design.
- Heat Shield: PEX material for OEM feel and reduced heat retention.
-
Components: 4 Ply silicone connectors with stainless steel clamps and brackets to prevent rattling under engine torquing.
