APR 19-26 Audi Q3 MQB 2.0T PEX Open Intake System
$433.99
The APR Open PEX Intake System is the best dollar-per-horsepower intake system for the 1.8T/2.0T Engine. We've maximized performance and sound dramatically by reducing pressure drop and increasing airflow. This translates to more horsepower and torque, and less physical strain on the turbocharger. The system looks great, sounds amazing, and produces more horsepower and torque you can feel.Our Open PEX Intake System does away with the closed airbox design and uses a massive 7" washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4" rear outlet. This was necessary to limit pressure drop across the factory system and maximize airflow, while allowing you to fully hear the engine breathe. The massive filter provides excellent filtration. By oversizing the filter, we're able to limit pressure drop without sacrificing filtration. This is made possible through the use of greatly increased filter surface area. The PEX material gives the intake an Oem feel and it allows us to make a complex and organic heat shield shape that keeps hot air pushed through the frontal radiator away from the intake tract. Lastly, PEX retains heat less than other materials such as metal, making it ideal for performance.

The APR 19-26 Audi Q3 MQB 2.0T PEX Open Intake System is engineered to deliver maximum performance gains for your vehicle. This system features a massive 7-inch washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4-inch rear outlet, designed to significantly increase airflow and reduce pressure drop across the factory intake. By outflowing the stock intake by 60% at 833 CFM versus 521 CFM, this upgrade translates into notable horsepower and torque improvements, with gains of up to +12 AWHP and +13 AWFT-LBS respectively. The open design not only enhances airflow but also produces an aggressive, intoxicating intake sound that enhances the driving experience.
The PEX material used in the construction offers a high heat deflection capability while maintaining an OEM-like feel. Its organic heat shield shape effectively directs hot air away from the intake tract, helping to keep intake temperatures lower than traditional metal materials. This reduction in heat retention improves throttle response and reduces strain on the turbocharger, leading to more efficient engine operation. The system is compatible with APR and factory rear intake tubes and turbo inlet pipes, making installation straightforward and quick, typically in minutes.
Designed specifically for 2019-2024 Audi Q3, 2015-2020 Audi A3/A3 Quattro/S3, 2016-2023 Audi TTS Quattro, 2016-2023 Audi TT Quattro, 2015-2019 VW Golf/Golf Sportwagen/Golf R, 2017-2019 VW Golf Alltrack, and 2019-2021 VW models, this intake system is a versatile upgrade for many MQB platform vehicles. Note that models with Secondary Air Injection (SAI) require a breather filter (CI100020-A). Not compatible with EA888.3B engines equipped with a MAF sensor or the MS100100 intake-mounted Catch Can System. Overall, this APR intake system improves throttle response, enhances engine sound, and delivers measurable power gains, making it an excellent upgrade for enthusiasts seeking performance and a more visceral driving experience.
