APR 20-25 Audi S6/S7 Sportback (C8) 2.9T Carbon Fiber Intake System

This is the ultimate intake upgrade for the Audi S6 and S7 (C8). It flows 33.5% more than stock, reduces pressure drop, and improves linearization across the turbos. This directly translates to +23 AWHP and +21 AWFT-LBS of torque making this a simple upgrade for more power you can feel.Our system is a full upgrade as it replaces all of the intake components from the inlet scoop all the way to the turbo inlets. This is extremely important as focusing on the airbox alone does not address the main restrictions found in the factory intake system. Simply put, our system flows better than stock, makes more power, puts less strain on the turbochargers, looks sexy under the hood with the gorgeous carbon fiber design, and enhances the sound of the engine.The factory turbocharger inlet pipe is a big restriction point because it's small. It's common for most intake systems to only focus on the filter and airbox, but doing so only has minimal impact on performance. Furthermore, upgrading the turbocharger inlet pipe only has minimal impact on performance if it still necks down to with the factory or aftermarket intake airbox. We solve this by making our pipe as large as possible from the 4" filter outlet all the way to the turbocharger inlets in one piece! This minimizes pressure drop and increases flow through the system far better than a multi-piece solutions.Our system is made from carbon fiber and looks absolutely stunning under the hood. By using this material we are able to make the wall-thickness of the tubes smaller, maximizing the internal diameter, increasing performance even more! The material also allows us to make complex organic shapes necessary when working in a tight engine bay.The airbox on this platform is tiny and leaves nearly no room to upgrade the filter. Our system works as a heat shield but is open on the bottom and side to allow for a larger filter and maximum airflow. Fits 2020-2024 Audi S6/S7 Sportback

Upgrade the forced-induction performance of your 2020-2024 Audi S6 or S7 Sportback (C8) 2.9T with the APR CI100045 Carbon Fiber Intake System. Designed as a complete replacement from the inlet scoop through the turbocharger inlets, this system addresses the major restrictions in the factory intake rather than focusing only on the airbox. Testing shows 33.5% greater airflow than stock, reduced pressure drop at the turbo inlets, improved turbo linearization, and gains of up to 23 AWHP and 21 AWFT-LBS of torque over the original system.
The APR intake uses maximized inlet piping that extends from the 4-inch filter outlet to the turbocharger inlets as a continuous, large-volume path. This design helps minimize restrictions and avoids the bottlenecks commonly created by combining an upgraded airbox with restrictive factory inlet piping. The system also includes billet turbo adapter rings to support fitment with larger turbochargers, while the open-sided and open-bottom airbox design provides additional room for a larger filter and improved airflow in the tight C8 engine bay.
Carbon fiber construction allows APR to create lightweight, rigid components with thin walls and increased internal volume. The material also supports the complex shapes required for proper clearance around the engine while adding a clean, performance-focused appearance under the hood. A high-flow, washable pleated cotton gauze filter, new OEM gaskets, and all major intake components are included for a comprehensive installation. The result is improved turbocharger efficiency, faster spool response, enhanced engine sound, and a direct replacement engineered for the Audi S6 and S7 Sportback platform. This system is emissions friendly but is not CARB approved and may require emissions-compliance acknowledgment depending on location.
