The APR Open Carbon Fiber Intake System is a high-performance upgrade designed for the 3.0 TFSI engine in the 2014 to 2017 Audi SQ5 B8 models. Constructed with carbon fiber and featuring a drop-in open design, it eliminates the factory airbox to reduce inlet restrictions that limit power at higher horsepower levels. The system directs airflow through a sleek carbon fiber air-dam into a massive 7-inch filter with a frontal inlet, complemented by a T304 stainless-steel heat shield and an air buffer-gap to reject engine bay heat. This setup enhances airflow efficiency, resulting in flow bench gains of up to 268 CFM at 28 inches of H2O and an average increase of 17 wheel horsepower over the stock intake. The intake not only boosts performance but also provides a precise fitment and an aggressive supercharger scream.

Designed specifically for 2014-2017 Audi SQ5 B8 models equipped with the 3.0 TFSI engine, this intake system is compatible with the factory inlet as well as the APR Ultracharger System upgrade. It is a bolt-on replacement that installs in minutes, offering an immediate performance upgrade for street and track use. The kit includes the open carbon fiber intake assembly, oversized filter, heat shield, and all necessary mounting components. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking increased horsepower, improved airflow, and a distinctive intake sound, this system is a direct upgrade that maximizes the 3.0 TFSI’s potential.
