A special rotomold process is used to manufacture our premium polymer 3.0T intake airbox. This method leverages complex shapes and angles to maximize internal volume for air supply and smooth flow for a true performance design. This molding style also produces consistent wall thickness, strong corners, and superior heat resistance for a cost-friendly intake without compromises.
SEAMLESS DESIGN
The entire intake is designed as a single-piece airbox to offer a seamless and complete look with an above factory quality fit and finish.
BUILT-IN VELOCITY STACK
Our motorsport-designed velocity stack creates a smooth transition from the large filter area to the turbo inlet with excellent laminar properties. This uniquely engineered detail produces a high inertia flow with reduced drag and power-robbing turbulence.
TURBO INLET UPGRADE
Adding the optional cast turbo inlet upgrade further reduces significant air restrictions while maintaining the largest size possible from the airbox to the turbocharger. The intake and turbo inlet further increases airflow from 37% (intake only) up to a combined 61% over stock! Turbo inlet pipe is an optional upgrade and can be purchased with your intake or added at a later date.
HYBRID TURBO READY
The intake and turbo inlet designs offer a straightforward and bolt-in job of available hybrid turbo upgrades. Our turbo-specific CNC-machined and o ring sealed adapters always maintain the largest size possible without introducing flow restrictions. Upgrading to a TTE or Pure Turbo hybrid is easy, simple, and hassle-free.
Hybrid turbo adapter rings are sold separately from the turbo inlet upgrade.
IE 3.0T INTAKE SYSTEM & TURBO INLET PIPE INSTALLED WITH TTE810 TURBO ON WORLD-RECORD 9-SECOND B9 S4
HIGH-FLOW PRESSURE ZONES
IE’s multi-zone intake design delivers all the performance benefits of an open-filter intake while maintaining protection from hot engine bay air from under the hood. A constant ram air supply is forced in from the grille inlet, while any additional air demands are supplied from the low-pressure zone through the filter plate louvers. This dual-zone approach ensures airflow demands for any power level, even the most extreme builds.
TURN UP THE FUN
The byproduct of a true performance-designed intake is more than power. Our uniquely engineered velocity stack, pressure zones, and extensive internal volume also work together to release a myriad of turbo spools, engine throttle, and diverter blow-off sounds that transform your S4 or S5 with the under-hood acoustics of a genuine sports car.
PRECISION DESIGN
3D scanning tools are leveraged to create a high-resolution digital environment. This technology allows IE engineers to use all available space for a complete performance design while ensuring a hassle-free fit and installation.
Our cost-effective intake without compromising quality or performance.
EASY INSTALLATION
Install your new air intake using basic hand tools in no time. Our thermoplastic intake utilizes factory-style mounts that ensure a perfect and hassle-free fit.

GOING STAGE 2 ON YOUR 2.5T?
Adding an Stage 2 ECU Tune and IE Downpipe to your Audi RS3 or TTRS is the ultimate choice power adder on the stock turbo & engine! Offering an aggressive and unique motorsport sound from your 5 cylinder turbo engine with complete unrestricted air flow for unmatched maximum power. Enjoy proven performance gains and leading features such as bolt-on direct fit install, long-life construction, cast sections, and amazing sound.
STOCK DOWNPIPES ROB HORSEPOWER
Your 2.5T engine is capable of supercar level horsepower on the stock engine and turbo reliably with a Stage 2 Tune alone! However, the factory installed downpipe is designed for maximum emissions and economy, not for power. This design is riddled with small piping, harsh bends, and power sucking restrictions that limit your power gains to only Stage 1 Tune levels. In order to correct that, a true performance downpipe is required to open up the exhaust flow and allow the turbo to spin freely!
MAXIMUM FLOW DOWNPIPE
IE engineers set out to design the ultimate downpipe option for the 8V RS3 and 8S TTRS chassis by employing leading-edge development technology along with highly specialized cast manufacturing. By using cast sections this allowed our engineers to design specialized shapes into the downpipe itself that lets it conform and fit into very tight spaces while retaining it's large size and maximized flow rates. The design is so specialized that 3D scanning was used to build a digital model of the chassis to design in allowing us to build shapes down to the millimeter. This design is just not possible using traditional stainless steel pipes and bends found in most exhaust manufacturing.
Bolting this downpipe onto your Audi along with other matching bolt-ons and an IE STage 2 Tune results in up to 577 horsepower! You can take your RS3 or TTRS from a sporty driver to a power monster in a single weekend. Downpipe requires Stage 2 Tune for a complete installation.
LET THAT 5 CYLINDER ROAR!
Your RS 2.5 TFSI engine has an amazing 5 cylinder sound that all enthusiasts love. Unfortunately, much of that sound is muffled by the factory downpipe system. The cast design of your IE downpipe creates an aggressive and deep tuned sound that showcases the unique rumble from the 5 cylinder turbo engine and transforms it into an all-out howling beast!
HIGH-FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER
By employing a high flow metal matrix catalytic converter, horsepower loss is almost non-existent for track days and drag events while keeping unpleasant smells and increased emissions to a minimum.
LONG-LIFE MANUFACTURING
IE Y-PIPE ADAPTER REQUIRED FOR STOCK CATBACK
This downpipe holds the seal of IE quality and has been manufactured to last as long as you own the vehicle and beyond. Constructed from 304 stainless steel and expertly tig welded for incredible reliability. The cast and CNC machined turbo flange is thick to prevent leaks or warping at the turbo while a quality flex section works to allow normal movement between the chassis and engine without adding strain to the downpipe.
IE's Y-Pipe Adapter Kit (sold separately) is used to adapt your IE Downpipe to a stock catback exhaust section. This high quality stainless steel cast adapter is a complete kit that will make installing our downpiep to your stock exhaust painless and easy! This part is not required if you are installing an IE Catback System.
BOLT-ON INSTALLATION
This downpipe kit bolts-on directly to either an IE Catback or stock catback (with adapter) with no permanent modifications or alterations to the vehicle. The removal of the factory downpipe is a very long process and is only recommended to be performed by a professional. DIY is not recommended for most on this product.
