C8 RS6 / RS7 "Kohlefaser Luft-Technik" Intake System | ES4708514

The ECS Tuning Carbon Fiber Intake for the C8 RS6 / RS7 is not just a performance upgrade; it's a masterpiece under the hood. Our innovative design replaces the factory panel filter with dual cone filters, resulting in improved airflow and an intoxicating induction and turbo sound.

The cool air travels through the cone filters into our upgraded carbon fiber turbo inlets. Our inlets feature a larger cross-sectional area than the factory inlets, removing the restrictive fins found in the OEM design to maximize airflow and let your turbos breathe freely. Additional efficiency is gained due to a lower pressure ratio by reducing inlet pressure drop. Silicone couplers connect the turbo inlets to the filters, replacing the OEM ribbed plastic tubes that cause air turbulence with a smooth, direct flow path from the filters to the turbo inlets.

The heat shield is crafted from beautiful gloss carbon fiber. Sealing against the hood, the shroud seamlessly merges with the OEM ram air duct, channeling cool outside air directly to the filters.

The end result of all this is an intake system that combines fitment, quality, and performance into one stunning package that will make a statement in your engine bay!
