034Motorsport X34 Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System for Audi RS3 TTRS 2009-2013
$838.80

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

If you're an Audi RS3 or TTRS owner looking to boost your engine's performance, the 034Motorsport X34 Carbon Fiber Closed-Top Cold Air Intake System is engineered specifically for your 2.5 TFSI powerhouse. This meticulously designed intake not only enhances airflow but also elevates your driving experience with notable horsepower and torque gains over the factory airbox.

Maximizing Airflow

034Motorsport's engineers utilized advanced CFD optimization to create a carbon fiber intake tube that replaces the restrictive plastic factory accordion hose. By leveraging CAD software and 3D scanning, they maximized the cross-sectional area while carefully navigating the tight confines of your engine bay. The result? A beautifully crafted part that ensures smooth airflow transitions directly to the turbo inlet, allowing your engine to breathe easier.

Minimizing Intake Air Temperature

To ensure that your engine inhales cool, dense air, the X34 system features a closed carbon fiber airbox that replaces the stock upper airbox. This innovative design connects seamlessly to the factory lower airbox, allowing the high-flow conical filter to draw in cold air from the inlet duct before it gets heated by the radiator. The carbon fiber heat shield and intake tube also include a fiberglass backing layer, effectively isolating the intake air from engine heat.

Engineered for Optimal Airflow

034Motorsport understands that a high-flow intake isn't just about size. Their design minimizes unnecessary filter shrouding, allowing air to circulate freely around the filter for maximum performance. Many aftermarket systems compromise airflow by fitting oversized filters into cramped enclosures. With extensive testing, 034Motorsport has perfected the balance between filter size and housing dimensions, ensuring optimal airflow and filtration.

High-Performance Air Filter

The X34 system comes equipped with a high-flow conical air filter featuring a double-layer pleated cotton medium. This design not only increases airflow but also guarantees superior filtration. Unlike other kits that stuff large filters into too-small spaces, this system ensures that your filter can perform at its best.

OEM+ Fit & Finish

Designed to match the factory carbon fiber engine trim, the X34 intake system fits like it came straight from the factory. It connects directly to the turbo inlet pipe and factory lower airbox, providing an OEM+ look that blends seamlessly with your Audi's aesthetic.

Dyno-Verified Performance Gains

034Motorsport put the X34 system through rigorous testing on multiple vehicles using a Mustang AWD Dynamometer. The results? Significant increases in horsepower and torque for both stock and upgraded turbo setups. Whether you're on the street or the track, this intake system delivers the performance you're looking for.
