The IE Cold Air Intake system for the 3.0T engine utilizes a built-in velocity stack and ram-air design to dramatically improve airflow and stabilize induction temperatures. You'll immediately feel an improvement in horsepower and torque throughout the entire RPM range while enjoying a unique and addicting supercharger whine that sounds as good as it performs. Upgrade your Audi with the most feature-packed intake available!

IE engineers use an extensive array of testing equipment to maximize and verify the performance of the intake design, including digital analysis, flow bench verification, and power testing on our in-house chassis dyno. The result is an authentic motorsport design that instantly adds horsepower, torque, and snappy throttle response. Typical peak gains from our CAI are roughly 15-25+ Horsepower & Torque on a tuned car.
Dyno chart data was collected on our in-house Dynapack hub dyno on a full bolt-on stage 2 B8 S4 3.0T engine. Testing was performed back-to-back in exacting conditions; the only change made to the vehicle between runs is the swap from a stock intake to the IE Cold Air Intake Kit.
Dyno numbers are for reference against stock numbers only. Personal dyno results will vary depending on fuel quality, local conditions, dyno brand, and correction factors.
" I feel the power -Jhaval
" can't say enough good things about it -Ignition Tube
" Best intake design in the market -Kyle
Incorporating our true-motorsport velocity stack into the intake design channels the force-fed charge air from the large air filter into the engine cleanly and reduces drag. This creates a very high-inertia environment that speeds up airflow as quickly as possible and without any power-robbing turbulence found in traditional aftermarket intake designs. The velocity stack also acts as a stable and solid foundation for the massive 5" filter and aluminum intake pipe for a reliable and sturdy assembly without any rubbing or rattles.
Cutting-edge 3D scanning technology created a digital duplicate of the engine bay, grille, bumper, and hood. This high-resolution environment allows IE engineers to prototype the intake design and ensure an extremely high-end precision fitment. Right out of the box, you will enjoy a perfect and hassle-free installation.
To further cut down on turbulence, the multi-ply silicone adapters incorporate internal stops that perfectly mate each section of your intake together to create a smooth and continuous intake tract.
A sturdy aluminum intake pipe ensures no collapsing under high-boost situations commonly found on full silicone designs.
The heat shield, velocity stack, intake pipe, and brackets are all finished in a durable black powder coat for a sleek and sporty appearance as an upgrade to any engine bay.
This Intake fits Audi B8 & B8.5 S4 & S5 3.0T V6 Supercharged engines without modification or installation hassles. The install process is simple and can be done in 30 minutes or less with basic tools. The airbox utilizes factory-style mounts that ensure a perfect fit and allows for natural engine movement which keeps intake components from getting damaged.
" manufactured with great quality parts -Bailie S.
" very well engineered -Don
" I was extremely impressed -Alexander
Upgrade your intake and bring a classy and stylized look to your engine bay with the optional carbon fiber lid upgrade. The carbon shape is specially designed to not only fit your IE intake, but to also conform to the factory engine bay for a 100% perfect fit and finish. A hidden series of install holes under the trim seal on your intake allows for an easy install of our popular carbon fiber lid.
" Perfect fitment, and looks fantastic! -Scott N.
Your factory intake exists to silence and eliminates all engine sound. Installing an IE intake system releases the Audi S class sportiness, including the supercharger whine and engine throttle. The unique velocity stack design produces a classy yet powerful engine note. This level of sound is not heard through other brand intakes and is much more refined. Check out some customer videos in the slider to hear it for yourself!
" extremely satisfied with the sound -Stew
" Love it!!!!!!!!! -Kyle
" Honestly, just overall perfect -Aram

Please read before ordering. Eurosport Performance does not carry live inventory on this site. Most products are ordered for you directly from the manufacturer or our suppliers, and we follow their lead times. Placing an order confirms you have read and accepted the availability terms below.
| In stock
Ships within 24 to 48 hours
Products marked in stock are on our shelves in Montreal and leave within one to two business days.
|
Ordered for you
Most orders ship in 5 to 7 business days
Everything else is ordered from the manufacturer or supplier when you order. Delays can occur; if they do, we contact you.
|
|
Supplier lead times apply
If a product is not listed as in stock here and is on backorder at the manufacturer, it will most likely be on backorder for us too. We will tell you as soon as we know.
|
We keep you informed
You receive a confirmation when the order is placed, a notice if a delay comes up, and tracking the moment it ships.
|
Only products explicitly marked in stock are on our shelves. For everything else, the fastest way to know the current lead time is to ask us before you order; we check with the supplier and reply with a date.
Confirmed means we have placed the order with the manufacturer or supplier on your behalf. Shipping follows once the part reaches us or ships directly to you, usually within 5 to 7 business days for products that are available at the source.
We tell you as soon as the supplier confirms it, with the expected date when they give one. You can keep the order open, switch to an alternative we suggest, or cancel for a full refund before the part ships.
Yes. Any order that has not shipped can be cancelled by contacting us, and the refund goes back to your original payment method. Please contact us rather than opening a dispute with your bank: a cancellation takes us minutes, a chargeback takes weeks and freezes the refund in the meantime.
Sometimes. Larger or special-order items can ship to you directly from the supplier to save days in transit. You still receive tracking from us either way.
Orders ship from Montreal or directly from our suppliers. For Canadian addresses the price you pay is the price, with no import or duty fees added on delivery. See our shipping policy for details.
You get an email with the tracking number the moment the label is created, and you can follow the order in your account on the site or in the SPECD app.
Want a lead time before you order? Email us or use the contact page with the product name and your vehicle, and we will confirm availability with the supplier.
Products are warrantied by their manufacturer. Eurosport Performance is an authorized reseller: every part we sell is covered by the manufacturer's own warranty, with its own terms and duration. Claims go through us, so you deal with Eurosport Performance rather than a form on the brand's site, but whether a claim is accepted is the manufacturer's decision.
|
Manufacturer terms apply
Duration and coverage are set by the brand and differ from one to the next: some cover one year, some a lifetime, some only the original purchaser. The brand's warranty page is the reference; ask us if you cannot find it.
|
We file the claim for you
Contact us with your order number, photos and a description of the issue. We open the claim with the manufacturer, follow it up, and arrange the repair, replacement or credit they approve. The manufacturer decides whether the claim is accepted.
|
|
Fitment guarantee: North America only
We guarantee fitment for vehicles sold in the North American market. Vehicles from other markets are out of scope; specifications differ, and it is the customer's responsibility to confirm compatibility before ordering.
|
No warranty on tuning files
ECU and TCU tunes and other software files are sold without warranty and are not returnable once delivered or flashed. Tuning can affect your vehicle's factory warranty; please read the brand's terms before purchasing.
|
|
Proof of purchase
Your Eurosport Performance order is the proof of purchase every manufacturer asks for. Keep the order confirmation; it is also in your account on the site and in the SPECD app.
|
What is usually not covered
Damage from improper installation, modification, abuse, racing or an incorrect application for the vehicle, and normal wear items such as pads, clutch discs and filters. Shipping and labour are covered only when the manufacturer's terms say so.
|
It is the manufacturer's warranty for that product. Where the brand publishes it, we note it in the description; otherwise contact us before ordering and we will confirm the exact terms with them.
Stop using it if it is a safety-related part, then contact us with your order number, clear photos, and when and how the issue appeared. Do not return anything until we confirm the claim; manufacturers often require an inspection or an authorization number first.
The manufacturer. We prepare and submit the claim, provide the proof of purchase and push for a fair outcome, but acceptance, replacement or credit is their call under their terms. We pass their decision on to you as soon as we have it.
It depends on the manufacturer. Simple cases are approved in days; claims that need the part inspected can take a few weeks. We keep you updated at each step and push when it drags.
No. Tuning files are software; once delivered or flashed they cannot be returned, and they carry no warranty from Eurosport Performance or, in most cases, from the tuner. Support for the tune itself (revisions, flashing questions) comes from the tuning brand under its own terms.
No. Our fitment guarantee covers vehicles sold in the North American market only. European, Japanese and other market vehicles can differ in engines, electronics and dimensions, and a part listed for the North American model is not guaranteed to fit. If you order for one of these vehicles, confirming compatibility is your responsibility, and fitment issues on such vehicles are not covered by returns or warranty.
Labour is not covered unless the manufacturer's terms specifically include it. Having the part installed by a qualified shop protects your claim: improper installation is the most common reason a manufacturer declines.
No. Returns cover unused parts you no longer want, under our refund policy. Warranty covers a part that fails in use, under the manufacturer's terms. If you are unsure which applies, contact us and we will point you to the right one; please do not open a bank dispute, as it pauses both processes.
Questions about coverage before you buy? Email us with the product and your vehicle and we will confirm the manufacturer's terms.
