Overview

The AEM Cold Air Intake System is engineered to enhance the airflow to your vehicle’s engine, providing a noticeable improvement in performance and sound. Designed specifically for the 2015–2016 Audi A3 with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, this intake replaces the factory airbox with a high-flow, oversized filter and ducting that ensures cooler, denser air reaches the combustion chamber. The result is a more responsive throttle, increased horsepower and torque, and a more aggressive engine note. This upgrade is ideal for enthusiasts seeking to optimize their vehicle’s efficiency and driving experience without extensive modifications.

Key Features

This cold air intake features a durable, corrosion-resistant construction with a high-quality filter designed for maximum airflow and filtration efficiency. Its innovative design relocates the air filter outside the engine bay, allowing cooler ambient air to be drawn in, which supports better combustion and engine performance. The system is engineered for a straightforward installation, utilizing existing mounting points and hardware to ensure a secure fit. The oversized filter and smooth ducting minimize airflow restrictions, helping your engine breathe more freely and respond more quickly to throttle inputs.

Construction & Design

Constructed from high-quality, lightweight materials, the AEM Cold Air Intake features a polished silver finish that complements your engine bay’s aesthetics. The intake tube is precisely engineered for optimal airflow dynamics, reducing turbulence and pressure loss. The oversized filter is designed for durability and long-term performance, with a washable and reusable design that maintains peak efficiency over time.

Performance & Response

By increasing the volume and quality of incoming air, this intake system helps your engine produce more power and torque across the RPM range. The cooler air fed into the combustion chamber results in more efficient fuel combustion, translating into improved acceleration and overall responsiveness. The enhanced airflow also contributes to a more aggressive engine sound, adding to the driving enjoyment.

Installation & Fitment

The AEM Cold Air Intake is designed for a direct bolt-on installation, requiring no additional modifications or specialized tools. It fits seamlessly into the factory mounting points, making it an accessible upgrade for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
