$837.90

034Motorsport X34 Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System

If you're looking to give your 2.5 TFSI engine in your Audi TT RS (8J) or RS3 (8P) a serious boost, let me tell you about the X34 Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System from 034Motorsport. This isn't just another bolt-on; it's a well-thought-out upgrade that enhances both performance and aesthetics.

Why This Intake Stands Out

The team at 034Motorsport really put in the work to create something special here. They designed a complete intake system that not only outperforms the stock airbox but does so with style. The carbon fiber construction is not just for looks—it's lightweight and helps with airflow, which is crucial for these turbo engines.

Airflow Like You’ve Never Seen

One of the standout features is the CFD-optimized carbon fiber intake tube. This replaces the factory plastic accordion hose and is engineered to maximize airflow while fitting snugly within the tight confines of the engine bay. It’s designed with smooth transitions to ensure that air flows freely to the turbo inlet, which is key for performance.

Keeping It Cool

Heat is the enemy of performance, and 034Motorsport knows this. That’s why they included a carbon fiber heat shield that bolts right onto the factory lower airbox. This setup helps the high-flow conical filter pull in cooler air from the factory inlet duct, keeping intake temperatures down and performance up. Plus, there's a fiberglass backing layer that further isolates the intake air from the heat of the engine bay.

High-Performance Air Filter

The intake system comes with a high-flow conical air filter featuring a double-layer pleated cotton filtration medium. This design not only increases airflow but also provides superior filtration. Just a heads up: if you buy one of the kits shipped before mid-2015, you'll find an AEM dry filter. Kits shipped after that come with a 034Motorsport filter that's lightly oiled and can be cleaned and reused.

OEM+ Fit & Finish

034Motorsport didn’t skimp on the details either. The carbon fiber weave matches the factory trim in your Audi, so it looks like it belongs there. This intake system fits like a glove, connecting right to the turbo inlet pipe and the factory lower airbox. No awkward gaps or mismatched parts here!

Real Gains You Can Count On

Let’s talk numbers. The X34 intake has been put through its paces on a Mustang AWD Dynamometer, and the results are impressive. Here’s what you can expect:

  • With Stage 2 Setup:
    • Stock Intake: 377 Wheel Horsepower / 421 Wheel Foot-Pounds of Torque
    • 034 Carbon Fiber Intake: 390 Wheel Horsepower / 429 Wheel Foot-Pounds of Torque
  • With Stage 3 Setup:
    • Stock Intake: 460 Wheel Horsepower / 424 Wheel Foot-Pounds of Torque
    • 034 Carbon Fiber Intake: 491 Wheel Horsepower / 443 Wheel Foot-Pounds of Torque

What’s in the Box?

  • Carbon Fiber Audi TT RS & RS3 Air Intake Tube
  • Carbon Fiber Upper Airbox Heat Shield
  • Double-Layer Pleated Air Filter
  • All Installation Hardware

Compatible Vehicles

  • 2009 - 2013 Audi TTRS 2.5 TFSI (8J)
  • 2011 - 2013 Audi RS3 2.5 TFSI (8P)

Please Note: The new versions of the X34 Intake System no longer come with the airbox top seal found in older models. Everything you need is included in the box, so you’re good to go!
