034Motorsport X34 4" Carbon Fiber Closed-Top Cold Air Intake System for Audi TTRS & RS3 2017+
$819.90

034Motorsport X34 4" Carbon Fiber Closed-Top Cold Air Upper Intake System

Revitalize your 2.5 TFSI EVO engine with the 034Motorsport X34 4" Carbon Fiber Closed-Top Cold Air Upper Intake System, specifically engineered for the Audi TTRS 8S (2018+) and Audi RS3 8V.5 (2017+). This intake system is not just an upgrade; it's a performance enhancement that directly addresses the limitations of the factory setup.

Engineered for Performance

The 034Motorsport team has meticulously designed this intake system to maximize horsepower and torque, outperforming the already impressive factory airbox. Through rigorous testing and multiple prototypes, they have produced a cold air intake that seamlessly integrates with your vehicle while delivering real-world performance gains.

Modular Design for Flexibility

One of the standout features of the X34 system is its modularity. The engineers identified key flow restrictions in the factory intake, particularly the filter membrane and the plastic accordion hose leading to the turbo. The good news? The factory lower airbox and fresh air duct can still be utilized with some modifications, making this system adaptable for stage 1 and stage 2 setups. Whether you stick with the stock components or upgrade to the full 034Motorsport X34 lower intake box, you have options that grow with your performance goals.

Optimized Airflow

The heart of this intake system is the CFD-optimized carbon fiber intake tube, which replaces the restrictive factory hose. By using advanced CAD software and 3D scanning, 034Motorsport crafted a design that maximizes airflow while fitting snugly within the engine bay constraints. This means smoother transitions and less turbulence, allowing your turbo to breathe more freely.

Temperature Control

To combat heat soak, the X34 system features a fully enclosed carbon fiber heat shield that replaces the upper airbox, along with a stainless steel heat shield that protects the intake tube from the engine's heat. This dual-layer approach ensures that your engine is drawing in cool, dense air, significantly reducing pre-turbo intake temperatures.

4" Diameter for Maximum Flow

034Motorsport identified a major bottleneck in the factory intake system: the 2.8" turbo inlet. Their solution? A 4" diameter intake tube that accommodates upgraded turbo inlets, ensuring compatibility with various turbocharger setups—whether factory, hybrid, or full frame. This design not only supports increased airflow but also aligns perfectly with the upcoming 034Motorsport 4" turbo inlet.

Thoughtful Design

Every aspect of the intake system has been carefully considered. The X34's design minimizes unnecessary filter shrouding, allowing for optimal airflow around the filter. This ensures that your engine receives the maximum amount of air without restriction, making it a top choice for serious performance enthusiasts.

OEM+ Fit and Finish

Designed to match the factory carbon fiber trim, the X34 intake system fits like a glove. It connects directly to the turbo inlet pipe and factory lower airbox, providing an OEM+ look that won’t compromise your vehicle’s aesthetics.
