ECS Tuning Carbon Fibre Performance Intake System - MK1 R8 V8

£2,361.31

The First Generation (2006-2012) R8 marked the start of a new era for Audi. The first iteration of this Gallardo-based, mid-engine supercar was equipped with Audi's flagship 4.2L FSI V8—a 414 HP monster capable of propelling the R8 to previously unthinkable speeds. The plastic airbox that Audi paired with this powerplant is unremarkable at best, both aesthetically and functionally. To rectify this issue, and to increase overall performance, our engineers developed an OEM+ Carbon Fiber Performance Intake System. 

Carefully crafted from 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber, this intake system doesn’t just enhance performance; it looks stunning in the engine bay. The carbon fiber box, lid, and velocity stacks are finished with a high-gloss clear coat that protects the assembly from harmful UV rays, ensuring a lasting, show-ready appearance. Our design mirrors the directional carbon fiber weave found on OEM carbon package components, adding a cohesive, high-end look to your engine bay.

Designed with optimized airflow in mind, our Performance Intake System replaces restrictive factory MAF tubes with carbon fiber MAF tubes. These precision-molded pieces are engineered with velocity stacks to smooth airflow and increase efficiency. Dual cone filters are strategically relocated inside the rear fenders, positioning them directly in the path of factory cold air ducting. This reduces intake air temperatures for cooler, denser airflow, contributing to increased horsepower and throttle response. Despite their advanced design, these tubes maintain the factory mass airflow sensor location, ensuring CEL-free operation. No tune is required! 

Included with the intake system are ECS 3.0" high-flow air filters designed to allow maximum airflow while effectively capturing contaminants. The increased filtration capacity supports the intake’s ability to breathe freely, contributing to an exhilarating driving experience and an unmistakable engine note.

This intake system was CAD-designed for an exact fit with your R8’s factory connections and mounting points, ensuring seamless installation. ECS engineers optimized the design for compatibility with OEM grommets, making it a true plug-and-play solution that requires no modifications to the vehicle. It fits like the original but performs on a different level!

FEATURES:

  • Enhanced airflow via relocated filters near the factory cold air scoop
  • High-quality 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber construction mirrors OEM weave pattern for a seamless, integrated appearance
  • High-gloss clear coat for optimal UV protection
  • Precision fit - compatible with OEM grommets and mounting locations
  • High-flow 3.0" oiled air filter assemblies, featuring 8-ply cotton gauze construction and a bell mouth inlet to minimize restriction while maximizing filtration efficiency
  • Precision-molded velocity stack MAF tubes for improved airflow
  • No modifications are required and fully reversible installation
  • Complete install instructions provided!

DESIGN:

  • Our MK1 R8 V8 Carbon Fiber Performance Intake System was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

INSTALLATION & SUPPORT:
