I just picked up my Audi RS3 FL Sedan with OPF from HPerformance. I got the 4-inch exhaust system and a Stage 3 upgrade. I’m just super happy with how it drives and, above all, how brutal it sounds despite the OPF. Everything worked great—I can really recommend it to anyone who loves their five-cylinder engine!!
The open 5" / 125 mm carbon intake for the Audi RS3 8Y isn’t just another off-the-shelf carbon pipe. We designed it, tuned it on our own test bench in Osterburken, and thought it through down to the last detail—for vehicles that need more air than the stock system can provide. When combined with the 4" / 100 mm oversized turbo inlet, the turbocharger gets exactly that: maximum airflow with a clean flow pattern.
You can see the difference as soon as you hold the part in your hand. Many carbon intake systems on the market are purely for looks—a tube, a plastic connector, attached however they can. With our system, the mount is made of aluminum and securely bolted in place; the hose outlets are milled from aluminum and laminated into the carbon fiber; and there’s an aluminum ring at both ends of the pipe to ensure the clamps grip securely and the pipe doesn’t collapse, even under negative pressure. These are details you don’t see in everyday use—but you feel them every time you step on the gas.
Genuine exposed carbon fiber, a genuine +15 PS boost, and an engine bay that looks like it came straight from a motorsports factory.
