Description
Overview
Meet the AWE Tuning S-FLO Carbon Cold Air Intake for the Audi 8V RS3 and Mk3 TT RS — a serious upgrade built around 4.5″ of pure carbon power. Engineered as part of AWE Tuning’s S-FLO Carbon Intake Suite, this air intake system is designed to feed the potent 2.5-liter AWD platform with a bigger, freer breath of air and a much more assertive soundtrack. Assembled in the USA and finished in genuine carbon fiber, it looks as purposeful under the hood as it performs.
The S-FLO Open Carbon Intake System combines the S-FLO Carbon Inlet Tube with the Shortie Carbon Intake to create a full 4.5″ diameter path from the S-FLO Filter all the way to the turbo inlet coupler. That uninterrupted, large-diameter routing is what unlocks the impressive (and very vocal) character of this setup, delivering an ample dose of turbo induction and diverter valve sounds with every rip of boost.
Key Benefits
Beyond the sound, this intake backs it up with measurable gains. AWE Tuning reports an increase of 7 hp and 3 lb-ft of torque at the wheels — real, wheel-referenced numbers rather than optimistic crank figures. Best of all, no tune is required to run it, and it carries AWE’s No CEL Guarantee, so you can bolt it on with confidence that it won’t trip a check-engine light. All necessary hardware is included, and the system is backed by a Fit Guarantee for the supported Audi models.

Fitment & Important Notes
This S-FLO Carbon Intake is engineered for the Audi Coupe/Sedan 2.5 AWD platform — specifically the 8V RS3 and Mk3 TT RS. If you’re running a 2019+ model, you’ll also need the additional DV Adapter Kit. That kit is machined in-house from billet 6061 aluminum and includes the DV adapter, two oil-resistant o-rings, two worm-drive clamps, and 8.75″ of high-temp silicone hose for a clean, secure connection.
Please note the voluntary CARB Restricted label: the AWE 4.5″ S-FLO Carbon Intake Suite is intended for racing use only. Choose the configuration that matches your model year, and give your 2.5 TFSI the airflow — and the voice — it deserves.
