Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning S-FLO Carbon Engine Cold Air Intake brings 4.5″ of pure carbon power to the Audi 8V RS3 and Mk3 TT RS. Engineered around the potent 2.5 AWD platform, this S-FLO Shortie Carbon Intake replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a massive S-FLO Filter and a 4.5″ carbon elbow, delivering serious air-intake breathing room and unlocking the beloved turbo noises RS3 and TT RS drivers crave.
Every component is built to a premium standard: the intake is crafted from genuine carbon fiber, assembled in the USA, and firmly planted via a bespoke CNC laser-cut stainless support bracket for a rock-solid, purpose-built install.
Key Benefits
At the heart of the system is a large S-FLO Filter with a frontal opening that boasts a 30% increase in filter surface area over stock. That added surface area, paired with the smooth 4.5″ carbon elbow, gives your turbocharged 2.5 the airflow it wants while showing off a striking carbon fiber finish under the hood. Best of all, no tune is required, and AWE backs the system with a No CEL Guarantee and a Fit Guarantee so you can bolt on with confidence.

Modular Upgrade Path
The S-FLO Carbon Intake Suite is modular by design. Whether you start with the S-FLO Inlet Tube or this S-FLO Shortie Carbon Intake, you can easily evolve to the full S-FLO Carbon Intake Systems (open or closed) down the road. The Shortie configuration is the perfect choice for drivers looking to uncork those turbo sounds without committing to a full build up front.
Fitment & Important Notes
This S-FLO Carbon Intake is engineered for the Audi 8V RS3 and Mk3 TT RS (Coupe/Sedan, 2.5, AWD). 2019+ models require the additional DV Adapter Kit, machined in-house from billet 6061 aluminum. That kit includes the DV adapter, two oil-resistant o-rings, two worm-drive clamps, and 8.75″ of high-temp silicone hose. Please note the AWE 4.5″ S-FLO Carbon Intake Suite carries a Voluntary CARB Restricted label and is intended for racing use only.
Choose the configuration that fits your platform and build goals, and give your RS3 or TT RS the carbon-clad, high-flow induction upgrade it deserves.
