CTS Turbo MK7/7.5 VW Golf R, Audi S3, Audi TTS Intake (2015-2021 MQB Models without SAI)

At CTS Turbo we are proud to announce our new air intake system for the VW MK7/7.5 VW Golf R, 8V/8V.2 Audi S3/TTS without SAI (secondary air injection) is ready! This is the largest intake available, and it is excellent for tuned vehicles that require the extra airflow. The OEM air scoop works in conjunction with our sealed airbox to seamlessly force cold air into our air intake system.  Air then flows through our 3.5" high flow air filter, which utilizes an inverted cone design for maximum engine breathing.  Our 3.5" CNC mandrel-bent aluminum intake pipe allows for smooth entry of cold air directly into the engine, minimizing turbulence from unnecessary connections. All of the components included in the CTS air intake system work flawlessly together to provide increased horsepower and torque throughout the entire power band and an aggressive race-inspired sound. Peak power gains range from 10-15HP on an otherwise stock vehicle. We recommend disabling your Soundaktor (noise amplifier) to fully enjoy the true sound of your motor and remove excessive drone caused by the device. Product Details:

• Mandrel-bent large bore 3.5" aluminum piping with black powder coating
• Coveted Laser etched //CTS Turbo logo
• 3.5" Reusable air filter with inverted cone design
• 4 Ply silicon connectors with stainless steel clamps
• Sealed air box
