Sneak Peek… the A.W.E. Tuning S-Flo Intake System for the 3.0T

**Alex/AWE** · 10-06-2010 12:09 PM

Ladies and Gents,

Available by the end of October, here is a sneak peek CAD shot of the A.W.E. Tuning S-Flo Intake System for the 3.0T.

Confirmed to fit both B8 S4 and S5 Cabrio 3.0T. We are working on confirming additional applications as well.

Stay tuned for dyno and flow bench testing data…

Cheers!

great!

Additional applications like... A6 3.0T?

Also, any word on the A6 3.0T exhaust?

Nice... Keep us posted... Pricing?

We will be verifying fitment on many 3.0T equipped vehicles, A6 included.

We do not plan on producing a A6 3.0T Exhaust at this time.

Between $0.99 and $600.

Pricing will be released before launch.

I vote for the $0.99 pricing!!!!! :D

So stock airbox is used, with new filter element and tubing then? Or is the airbox new as well?

I would assume it replaces the air box like all the other CAI's. I could be wrong.

**jeffc31337** · 10-06-2010 02:14 PM

The big question I have is if it will be fully enclosed or not.

**nick71692** · 10-06-2010 04:22 PM

very nice I cant wait

With the screw holes where they are, to me it looks like it'll replace the top of the stock airbox. But i could be completely wrong.

**S-Fore** · 10-06-2010 05:00 PM

I think that it is good design for the best of both worlds. There was a pic floating around of an intake for the A4 in the B8 A4 thread from a certain company that also has a three letter name. It looked great and was hoping to see something like it for the 3.0T Wonder what the intake tube if it's larger will offer in terms of performance.

**S|Quattro|4** · 10-06-2010 05:21 PM

Im assuming this is going to be highly over priced as everything else has been already. My guess, closer to 600$ than anything.

Nothing against A.W.E. but it seems as if everything that comes out is priced ridiculously high. Im sure they are quality products, but I still think the pricing is too high. IF pricing on everything that has come out already were to be reasonable, Im sure tuning companies would see a large increase in their sales and capital.

**richib86** · 10-06-2010 05:24 PM

id guess 450-500

The AWE S-FLO on the B5 goes inside the stock airbox. I would assume it be the same here based on the picture.

**richib86** · 10-06-2010 05:33 PM

^^+1 that and the top cover in the CAD drawing is the EXACT same shape as the factory lid

**Voltrons_Head** · 10-06-2010 05:47 PM

I'd be concerned if they used the stock airbox that we wouldn't be able to hear the sc.

**richib86** · 10-06-2010 06:02 PM

idont think it'll b as loud as the strat intake but there are a lot of things just on the intake elbow alone that reduce noise like that turd shaped box and the reduction in size of the intake hose. I def think this will sound great

**pyknosis** · 10-06-2010 07:35 PM

I've been holding off on an intake because I've been waiting for something like this. Not too flashy when you pop the hood, hopefully not as loud as the Strat intake, but helps the car breath better.

Put me on the list!

**richib86** · 10-06-2010 08:08 PM

+1 what material is the intake elbow?

+1 I hope it's not as loud as strat.

but i'm waiting for apr... then I'll decide

**richib86** · 10-06-2010 08:37 PM

i hope apr isnt another carbonio solution... maybe evoms will come out with a good one like they did for the b6 s4

You know, I had forgotten that was there until you mentioned it. Had to go out to the garage to check out the one I took out of my car. Is that really what that attached box thing is for?

**L0U** · 10-07-2010 06:30 AM

looks promising to me. just right for intake noise.

**BLACKS4-10** · 10-07-2010 06:37 AM

That be cool if it uses the stock or a modified airbox and gives it more power without the whine of the Strat intake.Pricing will be ridiculous just like the Strat intake,guessing $350-500 easy.

Thinking about it though...

Agreed. And if it is that expensive it better show serious gains otherwise I'm out. Intakes are typically a waste of money and only for those that like the sound..... kind of like the exhausts for the S4! ;)

**S-Fore** · 10-07-2010 07:50 AM

By the look of the CAD file, looks like they are proposing just the intake tube and proprietary filter. Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised and it will fall in the $2-300 range.

**finesta101** · 10-07-2010 08:05 AM

Awsome. If price is right I'm gonna buy one.

Maybe a group buy?

what does that mean? is carbonio some fiasco which happened for the b6 tuning guys? (don't need an entire history - just a brief)

yeah I'm not big on the whine

We will be reusing the factory airbox and providing a upgraded filter element and tubing. The factory airbox does a good job of isolating the filter from hot air within the engine bay, so utilizing this allows us to keep a cooler intake charge and keep costs of raw materials down.

Our S-Flo uses the factory airbox and is fully enclosed.

The comment I made about it being priced between $0.99 to $600 was intended as pure sarcasm and has no reflection on the price of the product.

The final price hasn't been released to me yet, but I'm sure it will be a fair price for a thoroughly developed and tested performance product.

It's not as loud as an open element filter based intake would be. Think of it as a stealth intake upgrade, you get the additional power that a higher flowing filter and upgraded tubing provide without some of the unwanted sounds.

**jeffc31337** · 10-07-2010 12:50 PM

:thumbsup: just what I wanted to hear!

**K1speeder** · 10-07-2010 06:23 PM

+1 power and air is good if it's not really loud.

is carbonio bad?

**zillmc** · 10-07-2010 07:50 PM

Yay an intake that won't make me want to plug my ears and fully enclosed.

**richib86** · 10-07-2010 08:37 PM

I'm not a fan, I hated the fitment, the fact that the carbon would yellow over time.... Oh and the fact that the filter would somehow always pop off while driving no matter what I tried lol.
