How much power does the APR Carbon Fiber Intake for C8 S6 add?

APR measured 23 horsepower and 21 lb-ft at the wheels with the Carbon Fiber Intake for C8 S6 and S7 fitted. The gain comes from 33.5 percent more airflow, lower pressure drop at the turbo inlets and better balance between the two turbochargers of the 2.9 TFSI.

Does the APR S6 and S7 intake require a tune?

No. APR states that no new tuning is needed, so the intake can be fitted to a car on factory software or with an existing calibration. All new OEM gaskets, nuts, bolts and clamps are included, so it bolts on without sourcing extra parts.

Why does the APR S7 intake replace the turbo inlet pipes?

APR found that the narrow factory turbo inlet pipes are the main restriction, so a new airbox alone changes little. Its one-piece carbon pipes run as large as possible from the 4 inch filter outlet to each turbo, cutting the pressure drop that limits filter-only upgrades.

Is the APR S6 intake filter washable?

Yes. The 7 x 7 inch filter uses washable pleated cotton gauze with a 5.5 inch frontal inlet and a 4 inch outlet. It can be cleaned for an extended life or replaced easily, and its large surface area keeps it breathing freely for many miles.

Can the APR S6 and S7 intake work with bigger turbos?

Yes. Billet adapters join the carbon pipes to the turbochargers, and larger adapters can be fitted later to suit upgraded turbos with bigger inlets. The rest of the system stays, so the intake grows with the build rather than needing to be replaced.

Description

APR Carbon Fiber Intake for C8 Audi S6 and S7

APR’s Carbon Fiber Intake for C8 Audi S6 and S7 delivers the largest measured gain of APR’s 2.9 TFSI carbon intakes, adding 23 horsepower and 21 lb-ft at the wheels to the twin-turbo V6. It replaces the whole intake path from the scoop to both turbocharger inlets, with one-piece carbon pipes that stay as large as possible from the 4 inch filter outlet to each turbo, and the system flows 33.5 percent more than stock while balancing airflow between the turbochargers. For an S6 or S7 Sportback owner who wants more pull and a richer induction note without touching the calibration, it is a strong first step.

Design and Performance

The factory airbox on this platform leaves little room for a larger filter, so APR built a carbon housing that acts as a heat shield yet opens on the bottom and side to fit a 7 x 7 inch filter. Thin carbon walls maximize internal diameter, and billet turbo inlet adapters can be exchanged for larger ones if the turbochargers are upgraded.

One-piece carbon fiber pipes from the filter to each turbocharger
Carbon heat-shield airbox open on the bottom and side

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.
