Is the AWE S-FLO Carbon Intake for the C7 A6 and A7 street legal in all 50 states?

No. AWE's own product page confirms this intake is not approved for sale or street use in California or in the following states that have adopted California emissions standards: Arizona, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. It remains street legal in most other U.S. states. If you live in one of the listed states, do not order this intake for street use; verify compliance for your specific situation with an authorized AWE dealer before purchasing.

Why does the AWE S-FLO Carbon Intake use full carbon fiber construction with no silicone on the C7 A6 and A7?

The full carbon construction, including the grille-mounted airbox inlet and the run to the supercharger inlet, is what allows smooth, uninterrupted airflow without the transition restrictions that silicone couplers introduce. The system also uses the factory accordion turbo couplers to let the carbon airbox float in place under heavy torque rather than holding it rigidly, which prevents strain on the carbon structure during high boost situations. The enlarged, integrated honeycomb-meshed port on the top of the airbox ensures optimal airflow even when pushing above-stock boost levels, making the system well-suited for higher power applications.

Does the AWE S-FLO Carbon Intake for the C7 A6 and A7 make the supercharger louder?

Yes. The combination of the full carbon fiber airbox and the AWE S-FLO filter produces a more aggressive intake note under boost, with a distinctive supercharger whine that is audible in the cabin. One Audizine A6 owner described it as noticeably waking up the supercharger. If you prefer a stealthier sound profile, this intake is not the right choice; the enhanced induction sound is a direct result of the improved airflow the system is designed to deliver.

Will the AWE S-FLO Carbon Intake trigger a check engine light on the C7 A6 or A7?

No, when installed correctly on a vehicle with no additional non-AWE modifications. The system retains all stock mounting locations, integrates with the OEM inlet ducting, and is covered by AWE's No Check Engine Light Guarantee. The factory accordion turbo couplers are retained as part of the installation, keeping all sensor and coupler interfaces in their original locations throughout.

Description

AWE Tuning S-FLO Carbon Intake for C7 Audi A6 / A7

The AWE Tuning S-FLO Carbon Intake for the C7 Audi A6 and A7 is a completely redesigned intake system built to support higher power applications on the 3.0T motor. Full carbon fiber construction runs from the grille-mounted airbox inlet to the turbo inlet with no silicone, allowing smooth, uninterrupted airflow while retaining all stock mounting locations. The included durable, washable AWE S-FLO filter sits directly in the path of ram air from the grille, integrates perfectly with OEM inlet ducting, and is what drives the system’s max gains of 13hp and 12ft-lbs of torque at the crank. Every component is finished with UV-stabilized resin and clear coat, keeping the carbon looking sharp under the hood for the long haul.

Carbon Intake

The AWE A6/A7 S-FLO Carbon Intake uses full carbon construction throughout, with no silicone, allowing smooth and uninterrupted airflow from the grille inlet to the supercharger inlet. A new grille-mounted airbox inlet combined with the factory accordion turbo couplers lets the system float in place under heavy torque, keeping strain off the carbon fiber where it matters most.

S-FLO Filter

The included AWE S-FLO filter is designed specifically for the A6/A7 S-FLO Carbon Intake, positioned directly in the path of ram air from the grille to maximize airflow and simplify service. That placement is what unlocks the system’s max gains of 13 hp and 12 ft-lbs of torque at the crank. The combination of the carbon fiber airbox and S-FLO filter also sharpens the intake note, producing a distinctive supercharger whine under boost.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
