Default Presenting the AWE Tuning Audi S3 S-FLO Carbon Intake

An intake that unlocks even more from the Audi S3. Presenting the AWE Tuning Audi S3 S-FLO Carbon Intake:

Highlights
  • Fully sealed carbon fiber box and filter combination
  • Features AWE Tuning S-FLO Filter
  • Max gains of 10 hp and 9 ft-lbs of torque at the crank
  • Perfect integration with OEM inlet ducting
  • Utilizes stock mounting locations
  • UV stabilized resin and clear coat prevent yellowing from heat
  • Filters are durable, and washable
  • Designed, engineered and tested in house at AWE Tuning
  • No Check Engine Light - Guaranteed
  • Perfect Fitment - Guaranteed

The fully enclosed AWE Tuning Audi S3 S-FLO Carbon Intake is made from high grade 2x2 carbon fiber that mounts directly in the stock locations and mates up to the factory air inlet pipes, perfectly.

The AWE Tuning S-FLO Filter (included in the kit) is the largest that can fit within the airbox to maximize air flow. This increased flow contributes greatly to the max power gains of 10 hp and 9 ft-lbs of torque at the crank.

The combination of the AWE Tuning S-FLO Carbon Intake and included AWE Tuning S-FLO Filter makes for a more aggressive intake note, with a distinctive turbo spool sound.

Using a UV stabilized resin and clear coat on the airbox prevents yellowing that occurs from heat under the hood.

Power. Sophistication. Perfect look. No Check Engine Light - Guaranteed. Fitment - Guaranteed.

Time for that S3 to breathe a little easier.

Availability

The AWE Tuning Audi S3 S-FLO Carbon Intake is available via AWE Tuning’s international network of superstar dealers, or from the factory store. Questions? We’re here at 215.658.1670 or performance@awe-tuning.com.

No offence is intended but can you honestly answer if this intake makes $600 difference?

It looks really cool though I must admit.

Yeah, it's pretty for sure. If I didn't think the dealer would get weird about it I'd go for it.

I'd love to get 10 more hp that I could hide from the dealer.

Thank you! If all the benefits are worth it to you, then yes. We set out to create a premium product that performs and this is the result! Let's pickup where we left off with our suspension chat and touch on this!

We worked hard to maximize power gains and deliver a high quality carbon fiber finish air box. We back it with our No CEL Guarantee and Fitment Guarantee. Even more gains can be expected with performance software and additional mods. We are proud of the level of craftsmanship that went into our S-FLO.

I don't think you should live in fear of doing what you want! Inquire with your dealer to get a straight answer.

Fair enough. As I said, no offense intended. Even though I do not have this intake on my car, I am pretty sure that AWE Tuning only releases high quality products based on my previous experience and from what I heard from folks who have AWE exhausts installed. With all due respect but $600 for an air box is kinda steep. I do understand that high quality carbon fiber is used and a lot of engineering has been done but I cannot justify the price. I am pretty sure though that a lot of buyers will be attracted to the product. In any case, just want to congratulate with this release and I look forward to the up coming release of the new S3 exhaust system.

Thank you! As of right now we have not had any issues with dealerships voiding warranty. Feedback from customer / dealership transactions so far has been positive in regards to the great fitment and high quality. It ultimately is up to the dealership to make any calls with warranty though.

Audi Willow Grove is fantastic and they've always been great to us! They respect what we do here and are very supportive. I recommend reaching out to them with any questions as they are always very helpful and knowledgeable about our products and company. At the end of the day, the warranty is between you and the dealer.
