During the development process, many iterations were designed, prototyped, and tested, which resulted in this beautifully-manufactured Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMAXIMIZING AIRFLOW\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e034Motorsport engineers first created a CFD-optimized carbon fiber intake tube, which is a direct, high-performance replacement for the plastic factory accordion hose. Using CAD software and 3D scanning technology, 034Motorsport was able to maximize the cross-sectional area of the intake tube while being mindful of space constraints, including the factory high-pressure fuel pump and firewall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting part is a functional work of art - maximizing performance given the factory space constraints and featuring smooth transitions that ensure optimal airflow to the turbo inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"034motorsport 8v audi rs3 2. 5 tfsi air intake flow analysis\" async height=\"285\" src=\"title=\" carbon fibre cold air intake system rs3 width=\"475\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMINIMIZING INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure that the 034Motorsport X34 Cold Air Intake System draws in cool, dense air, the system includes a carbon fiber heat shield to replace the upper airbox. Bolting to the factory lower airbox, this heat shield allows the high-flow conical filter to breathe cold air from the factory inlet duct before the radiator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the carbon fiber heat shield and carbon fiber intake tube are designed to aid in isolating cold, dense intake air from the heat of the engine bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"8v audi rs3 cai heat shield carbon fiber\" async height=\"285\" src=\"title=\" carbon fibre cold air intake system rs3 width=\"475\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMINIMIZING UNNECESSARY FILTER SHROUDING\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e034Motorsport focuses on optimizing every aspect of the intake system across a broad range of variables and compromises. A critical component of a high-flowing performance intake is the ability for air to flow around and into the filter. If the air cannot flow freely around the filter, it will be restricted from getting into it. Many aftermarket kits fit too large of a filter in an enclosure that cannot accommodate its size, thus choking the filter and reducing its overall flow. This often happens when a product is engineered for one variable at the expense of others. 034Motorsport conducted extensive tests and refined its development of the intake design to allow for maximum airflow surrounding the air filter, allowing for optimal airflow to, and through, the filter. The final result is the right size filter in the right size filter housing, creating maximum airflow and performance with OEM level filtering; the ultimate goal of any intake system. Be cautious of any intake that brags only of air filter size, without taking into account the detrimental effects of shrouding the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"8v audi rs3 cai heat shield carbon fiber\" async height=\"285\" src=\"title=\" carbon fibre cold air intake system rs3 width=\"475\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOEM+ FIT \u0026amp;
