A special rotational molding method is used to manufacture a robust single-piece intake with consistent wall thickness, strong corners, and superior heat resistance. This also allows for complex shapes and angles to maximize internal volume for air supply and smooth flow for the most performance available. Enjoy a performance air intake without compromise.
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.
The built-in velocity stack creates a smooth transition from the large filter area to the turbo inlet. This motorsport design offers excellent laminar properties resulting in a very high inertia flow with reduced drag and power-robbing turbulence.
Our intake airbox is designed to accept our cast turbo inlet pipe to increase airflow over stock from 24% (intake only) up to 50.4% combined! Adding a turbo inlet further reduces significant air restrictions while maintaining the largest size possible from the airbox to the turbocharger.
Turbo inlet pipe is an optional upgrade and can be purchased with your intake or added at a later date.
The intake and turbo inlet combo makes upgrading to a hybrid turbo a simple bolt-in job. CNC-machined and o ring sealed adapter rings fit the stock or a variety of aftermarket turbos without hassle. The turbo inlet continually adapts to the turbo to not introduce any restrictions and maintain the largest size possible when upgrading turbos.
Hybrid turbo adapter rings are sold separately from the turbo inlet upgrade.
IE SQ5 POLY INTAKE SYSTEM & TURBO INLET PIPE INSTALLED WITH PURE750 TURBO
Multiple air supply avenues are used to guarantee airflow for any power level. High-pressure flow from the grille directly provides a ram air supply to the filter. If additional air demands are required, the intake will pull low-pressure air through the filter plate louvers as needed. This dual-zone design ensures your intake will never be a power limitation for even the most extreme builds.
Your stock airbox is manufactured under regulations to perform only one job; mute all engine and turbo sound at any performance cost. Your new IE poly intake system will release the sweet sounds of turbo spool, engine throttle, and diverter blow-off that your S-class SUV deserves.
3D scanning tools are leveraged to create a high-resolution digital environment allowing our engineers to take advantage of all available space for a complete performance design while ensuring a hassle-free install.

MQB PERFORMANCE DOWNPIPE OVERVIEW
When upgrading your VW MK7 or Audi 8V A3 to stage 2 software you will also need to reduce the back pressure caused by the small diameter stock pipe. With the exhaust system flowing better performance gains be achieved. Turbo lag should also be reduced as an added benefit.
IE engineers guarantee a perfect fit by designing all IE downpipes in-house using the latest technology. Digital scanning is using to scan the entire environment which ensures that there is proper clearance and that all mounting points are in the correct location. Manufactured from 304 stainless offers a life-long product that brings performance and fun to the table for years to come.
POWER GAINS
The most power gains will be achieved when the IE Downpipe is paired with IE matching software, air intake, and FDS intercooler.
SOUND TUNING
An aggressive and drone-free sound will be emitted from the IE Cast Downpipe. This should be music to your ears! Thick wall tubing and cast sections remove much of “tinny” sound emitted by cheaper, thin wall, downpipes. With downpipes, you get what you pay for in terms of sounds and overall manufacturing quality.
HIGH-FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER
IE’s performance downpipe includes a high-flow 200 cell per inch metal matrix catalyst located as close to the turbo as possible. Metal matrix catalysts are higher performance because the matrix web is thinner, allowing higher flow in the same size. Our catalyst is also a very large diameter, allowing a large flow area and maximum power. By being placed close to the turbo, emissions and unwanted unpleasant smells are greatly reduced.
DIRECT BOLT-ON WITH PERFECT FITMENT
The IE downpipe replaces over 6 feet of restrictive factory exhaust tubing, all the way back to the OE “Cat-Back” rear section. Sturdy fabricated mounts and precise engineering result in a rattle free and long last replacement exhaust system. 3D scanning systems were employed to ensure perfect placement both in pre and post-production phases.
