The IE Polymer Air Intake System delivers performance, sound, and style to your Audi B9/B9.5 (80A) Q5 2.0T engine. Our specialty rotomold construction maintains low intake air temps and brings an elevated look to your engine bay. Gain easy power from the massive filter, high and low-pressure inlets, large internal volume, and built-in velocity stack. Add airflow gains and addicting sound without sacrificing quality.
Plastic desn't mean cheap. This cold air intake is manufactured from a high-quality rotomold procedure that produces a superior polymer material with consistent wall thickness, strong corners, and excellent heat resistance. Enjoy a premium intake design without compromise. The internal volume of the intake and its complex shapes are the results of application-specific engineering for the Audi SUV platform. Every inch has been performance-designed to feed your turbocharger with the most airflow possible.
The factory airbox is designed to mute all engine and turbo sounds. When upgrading to an IE intake system, you will instantly become addicted to the new turbocharger spool, engine throttle, and diverter valve symphony under the hood. Your Q5 will pull harder and make you smile with with the new refined and exiciting engine sound. Our unique 1-piece airbox offers a seamless and beautiful look without chances of air leaks, finicky installation, rubbing noises, or parts loosening over time, common with multi-peace airbox designs.
The built-in velocity stack smoothly reduces airflow from the massive 5" air filter down to the turbo inlet with excellent laminar properties. This transition creates a very high inertia flow from the huge filter with very low drag or power-robbing turbulence. The intake takes advantage of multiple air supply avenues to support any power level. The front large air inlet receives outside high-pressure flow from the front of the grille and acts as a ram air design for most of the air supply. Additionally, the filter plate louvers pull extra required air from the low-pressure zone under the intake. These dual zones provide a free air supply across the entire filter and ensure your intake will never be a power limiter for even the most extreme builds.
3D scanning tools are leveraged to create a digital duplicate of the vehicle's engine bay, grille, bumper, and hood. These high-resolution scans provide a digital environment that allows our engineers to take advantage of all available space while ensuring a perfect fit.
