aFe Cold Air Intake
Fitment: 2012-2015 Porsche Carrera / Carrera S 3.4L / 3.8L
Part #: 52-12352-C
Overview
The aFe Black Series Cold Air Intake is a precision-engineered performance drivetrain component designed specifically for 2012-2015 Porsche Carrera and Carrera S models with 3.4L and 3.8L engines. This intake system replaces the factory air intake to improve airflow efficiency and support enhanced engine breathing. It is ideal for Porsche enthusiasts seeking a reliable upgrade that combines advanced materials with thoughtful design to optimize engine response and overall performance.
Featuring a unique computer-designed housing and a carbon fiber intake tube, this cold air intake helps your vehicle draw in cooler, denser air, which can contribute to improved throttle response and a more engaging driving experience. The system is built to fit directly into the factory mounting locations, ensuring a seamless installation process without compromising the vehicle’s original layout.
Key Features
This cold air intake system offers a range of technical benefits tailored to performance-driven applications:
- Custom CAD-designed roto-molded housing made from black cross-linked polyethylene for durability and heat resistance
- Dual high-performance air filters enclosed within the housing to maximize filtration and airflow
- Lightweight, high-gloss clear-coated plain weave carbon fiber intake tube engineered for optimal air delivery
- Direct fitment into factory mounting points for straightforward installation and secure placement
- Connection to factory air inlets to capture the coolest air available, enhancing combustion efficiency
Construction & Design
The intake’s housing is crafted using roto-molded black cross-linked polyethylene, a material chosen for its strength and thermal stability. This ensures the intake maintains structural integrity under engine bay temperatures while protecting the air filters. The carbon fiber intake tube not only reduces weight compared to traditional materials but also adds a premium aesthetic with its high-gloss finish. The tube’s design is computer-optimized to provide smooth airflow paths, minimizing turbulence and supporting consistent engine breathing.
Installation & Fitment
The aFe Black Series Cold Air Intake is designed for direct bolt-on installation using existing factory mounting points and air inlet connections. This ensures a secure fit without the need for modifications or additional hardware. Fitment is specific to Porsche Carrera and Carrera S models from 2012 to 2015 with 3.4L and 3.8L engines, but it is recommended to verify compatibility with your vehicle using the part number before purchase.
