034Motorsport S34 Carbon Fiber Intake System
If you own an Audi S6 or S7 from 2012 to 2018, you’re probably looking for ways to get a little more out of your ride. The S34 Carbon Fiber Intake System is designed specifically for your 4.0 TFSI engine, and trust me, it delivers. This isn't just another flashy aftermarket part; it’s a well-thought-out upgrade that genuinely improves power, sound, and acceleration.
034Motorsport took a long, hard look at the factory airbox and realized there was a lot of room for improvement. They crafted this intake to boost airflow to your turbocharger, which means better performance all around. Installation is a breeze, too—just a simple bolt-on process that doesn’t require a PhD in engineering to get right.
Why It Works
One of the standout features of this intake is how it minimizes unnecessary filter shrouding. A lot of aftermarket kits throw in a big filter but don’t consider how it fits in the enclosure, which can choke off airflow. 034Motorsport made sure to find the sweet spot with the right-sized filter and housing so that air flows freely around the filter and into the engine. This means you get maximum airflow without sacrificing filtration quality—no one wants to deal with a dirty engine!
Smart Design
The engineers at 034Motorsport didn’t stop there. They designed CFD-optimized 4-ply silicone intake tubes to replace the plastic factory hoses. Using CAD software and 3D scanning, they’ve managed to create a part that not only fits perfectly but also maximizes airflow. The smooth transitions in the tubes help ensure that air gets to your turbochargers without any hiccups.
High-Flow Air Filter
At the heart of the S34 intake is a high-flow dual-inlet air filter. This isn’t just any filter; it features a double-layer pleated cotton medium that can trap particles as small as 5 microns. It’s been tested in setups over 800HP, and it holds its own with minimal restriction. Plus, the air shroud is designed to stay put, avoiding any annoying rubbing against other engine components.
CFM Gains
Here’s a fun fact: CFM stands for cubic feet per minute, and it’s a big deal when it comes to how much horsepower your intake can support. The stock intake flows about 527 CFM at 28 inches of water, which is fine, but the S34 intake? It cranks that up to 816 CFM. That’s a substantial increase, and it means your engine can support a lot more power without choking.
