Description
Overview
The AWE Tuning S-FLO Carbon Intake is the engine cold air intake built for drivers who want their 2008-2012 Audi S5 (4.2) to perform and look the part under the hood. Combining a fully enclosed design with genuine carbon fiber styling, this S-FLO Edition intake draws cool, ambient ram-air into the inlet and feeds it beneath a striking 2×2 twill carbon fiber cover, shielding the incoming charge from the heat-soaked engine bay temperatures that plague open-element setups.
Cooler air means denser air, and denser air means more usable power. By keeping the intake charge cool as it flows through the washable S-FLO filter, the S-FLO Carbon Intake delivers impressive power gains without complexity or compromise.
Engineered Components
The S-FLO Carbon Intake is built from three primary components working together. At its heart is the washable S-FLO cotton air filter, finished in an unmistakable Neon Yellow. Feeding it is a high-flow, 4-ply Nomex® air tube that is fluorosilicone lined and steel-wire reinforced for durability and consistent airflow. Capping the system is the 2×2 twill carbon fiber cover that fully encloses the filter, sealing out hot engine bay air while adding a premium, show-quality finish.
