Description
The aFe POWER Rapid Induction Cold Air Intake System with Pro DRY S filter is engineered to increase airflow, improve turbo efficiency, and enhance throttle response for MQB-based Volkswagen and Audi applications. This system outflows the factory intake by 19% and delivers a measured 310 CFM at 7" H₂O, providing measurable gains in horsepower and torque.
Designed as a direct bolt-on performance upgrade, this intake system improves volumetric efficiency while maintaining straightforward installation with no permanent modifications required.
Pro DRY S Oil-Free Performance Air Filter
The included Pro DRY S air filter features a 7-inch tall, 360-degree radial flow design constructed with three layers of oil-free synthetic media. Unlike traditional oiled filters, this design requires no oil during maintenance, making it ideal for drivers seeking maximum convenience.
Key advantages:
-
Oil-free synthetic media
-
Washable and reusable
-
Excellent filtration efficiency
-
Strong dust holding capacity
-
Designed for street and light off-road use
-
Easily cleaned using aFe POWER CLEANER
The Pro DRY S media offers a balance of performance, filtration, and simplified maintenance.
3-Inch Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Intake Tube
A one-piece, 3-inch mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube ensures smooth, unrestricted airflow from the filter directly to the turbocharger. The wrinkle-black powder-coated finish enhances durability and heat resistance while maintaining a clean engine bay appearance.
Performance benefits:
-
Reduced airflow restriction
-
Improved air velocity
-
Increased horsepower and torque potential
One-Piece Powder-Coated Heat Shield
Constructed from durable 18-gauge steel, the wrinkle-black powder-coated heat shield mounts to the lower portion of the factory airbox using OEM mounting locations. This design promotes cooler intake air temperatures and simplifies installation.
Installation features:
-
No cutting or drilling required
-
Direct bolt-on design
-
Uses factory mounting points
-
Hassle-free installation
