Does the APR Carbon Fiber Intake Filter System fit on its own?

No. The APR Carbon Fiber Intake Filter System is designed to bolt to the APR Turbocharger Inlet System, part CI100038, which must be fitted as well. It replaces the factory airbox side of the intake and connects to the 4 inch carbon back tube of that inlet system.

Do 2019 and later RS3 and TT RS cars need anything else?

Yes. APR states that 2019 and later cars with the updated corrugated diverter valve to intake hose also need the APR diverter valve adapter, part CI100038-G. The adapter reroutes the diverter valve hose so the open filter system and inlet system fit correctly.

How much more airflow does the APR open filter system give?

APR rates the filter system, fitted with its turbocharger inlet system, at a 60 percent airflow improvement over the factory intake. The large 9 inch filter and 6 inch carbon inlet are what make that possible, since the five-cylinder turbo needs a lot of air at high load.

Is the APR RS3 intake filter louder than the airbox option?

Yes. The open cotton filter lets far more induction and turbocharger sound into the cabin than a closed airbox. Owners who want more of the five-cylinder sound usually choose this filter system, while the APR carbon airbox suits owners who prefer a quieter, enclosed setup.

Can the filter in the APR Carbon Fiber Intake Filter System be cleaned?

Yes. The filter in the APR Carbon Fiber Intake Filter System uses pleated cotton gauze and is washable, so it can be cleaned and reused rather than replaced at each service. Follow a cotton filter cleaning kit and allow it to dry fully before refitting it.

Description

APR Carbon Fiber Intake Filter System for 8V Audi RS3 and 8S TT RS

APR built its Carbon Fiber Intake Filter System for 8V Audi RS3 and 8S TT RS to turn the APR Turbocharger Inlet System from a subtle upgrade into a full open intake. A large 9 inch cotton filter with a frontal opening feeds a 6 inch carbon fiber inlet tube that necks down gradually to the 4 inch back tube of the inlet system. APR rates the complete setup at a 60 percent airflow improvement over stock, and chose an open filter because the airflow demand of the 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder called for an unboxed design.

Sound and Fitment

With the filter in the open, the induction sound of the five-cylinder and its turbocharger becomes a large part of the driving experience. The filter system is not a direct-fit part on its own: it bolts to the APR Turbocharger Inlet System, which must be fitted as well, and 2019 and later cars with the updated corrugated diverter valve hose also need the APR diverter valve adapter.

Features

Pleated cotton gauze filter, washable
9 inch filter with a frontal opening
6 inch carbon fiber inlet tube that necks down to 4 inches
Integrated PCV and diverter valve bungs
Stainless steel mounting bracket
Direct fit to the APR Turbocharger Inlet System

Applications

Audi RS3: 8V | 2017-2020 | 2.5L I5 TFSI

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.
