The APR Open PEX Intake System is the best dollar-per-horsepower intake system for the 1.8T/2.0T Engine. We've maximized performance and sound dramatically by reducing pressure drop and increasing airflow. This translates to more horsepower and torque, and less physical strain on the turbocharger. The system looks great, sounds amazing, and produces more horsepower and torque you can feel.Our Open PEX Intake System does away with the closed airbox design and uses a massive 7" washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4" rear outlet. This was necessary to limit pressure drop across the factory system and maximize airflow, while allowing you to fully hear the engine breathe. The massive filter provides excellent filtration. By oversizing the filter, we're able to limit pressure drop without sacrificing filtration. This is made possible through the use of greatly increased filter surface area. The PEX material gives the intake an Oem feel and it allows us to make a complex and organic heat shield shape that keeps hot air pushed through the frontal radiator away from the intake tract. Lastly, PEX retains heat less than other materials such as metal, making it ideal for performance.

  • More torque with gains of up to +13 AWFT-LBS over stock
  • Greatly outflows the full factory frontal airbox by 60% at 833 CFM vs 521 CFM
  • High heat deflection PEX construction
  • Massive 7” washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4” rear outlet
  • Creates an intoxicating intake sound in the engine bay
  • Improves throttle response
  • Lessens pressure drop
  • Lessens strain on the turbocharger

About this Cold Air Intake

The APR CI100041 air intake system replaces the factory airbox and intake tube to let the engine breathe more freely. Intakes typically bring a sportier induction sound and can improve throttle response, especially on turbocharged engines.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does an intake add?

Gains vary with the engine and are usually modest on a stock car; turbocharged engines and cars with other modifications tend to benefit more. Many buyers choose an intake as much for the sound and response as for power.

Is this intake legal in California?

In California and states that follow its rules, an aftermarket intake must have a CARB Executive Order (EO) number for the specific vehicle to be street legal. Check the product details for an EO number before buying for road use in those states.

Will an intake cause a check-engine light?

A quality intake designed for your car should not. Problems usually come from a poorly sealed connection, a damaged sensor, or over-oiled filters contaminating the mass air flow sensor.

How do I maintain the filter?

Inspect it regularly. Reusable filters can be cleaned and, if they are oiled, re-oiled lightly using the maker's kit. Dry filters can be cleaned or replaced according to the maker's instructions.

How do I make sure this air intake system fits my car?

Compare the part numbers listed on this page with the number on your old part or in your vehicle's parts catalog, and check the fitment information. If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN before ordering.
