Pipercross Airmax Audi RS6/RS7 (C8) Carbon Induction Kit
Pipercross Audi C8 RS6/RS7 AirMax Intake System | Avon Tuning Store
Unlock the full performance potential of your Audi C8 RS6 or RS7 4.0TT engine with the Pipercross AirMax Performance Induction System, now available at Avon Tuning Store. Expertly crafted to replace the restrictive OEM intake components, the AirMax system delivers remarkable gains in airflow, power, efficiency, and induction sound — setting a new benchmark for premium performance intakes.
Key Features:
-
Carbon Fibre AirMax Lid: Precision-engineered with a 61.39% larger outlet area than the OEM lid, maximising post-filter volume and airflow.
-
Pipercross Plus Panel Filter: Featuring a premium hybrid multi-density foam and a 0.9mm laser-cut aluminium backing, delivering up to 47.47% reduction in airflow restriction versus the OEM panel filter.
-
Performance Silicone Hoses: Step-matched, thick-walled silicone hoses maintain OEM engine flexure while eliminating airflow restrictions caused by factory convolutions.
-
Proven Power Gains: Expect an increase of up to +14–39 WHP and +16–42 Nm torque from stock to Stage 1 tuning levels.
-
Superior Heat Management: Carbon fibre construction resists heat soak, maintaining consistent performance even under high engine bay temperatures.
OEM Intake System Analysis:
While Audi’s stock RS intake design offers excellent performance for OEM engine software, it struggles to meet the airflow demands of tuned 4.0TT engines. Pipercross engineers identified significant gains by enhancing the filtration media, outlet size, and airbox volume, while retaining the well-designed lower airbox and turbo inlets.
The Plus Panel Filter:
At the heart of the AirMax system is the Pipercross Plus Panel Filter — benchmarked against OEM filters to deliver an average 38.66% reduction in airflow restriction. Its bespoke foam stack and rigid aluminium backing provide superior flow, durability, and filtration, forming the performance foundation of the entire AirMax intake kit.
AirMax Carbon Fibre Lid:
Utilizing 3D scanning and CAD technology, the AirMax Lid increases post-filter volume while expanding outlet sizes for smoother, high-capacity airflow. Crafted from lightweight, durable carbon fibre, it not only improves performance but also brings a premium visual upgrade to the engine bay.
Upgraded Outlet Hoses:
The included Pipercross silicone hoses eliminate flow-disrupting convolutions found in OEM hoses, further smoothing airflow to the turbochargers. Step-matched connections ensure perfect compatibility and maximise cross-sectional airflow.
Complete Premium Package:
The AirMax system features high-tolerance aluminium components, carbon bonding, stainless steel hardware, and oil-resistant materials. Every detail is engineered for longevity, strength, and consistent high performance — no matter how hard you drive.
Research & Development:
Every Pipercross AirMax component is developed using cutting-edge 3D printing, CFD simulations, airflow testing, and independent dynamometer performance validation. In controlled testing, the AirMax system delivered a 43.23% airflow improvement over the Pipercross Plus filter alone and a staggering 90.70% reduction in airflow restriction compared to the full OEM setup.
Airflow and Performance Results:
-
Max Airflow Capability: 934 CFM (vs. 722 CFM stock)
-
Consistent Gains: Maintains power and torque even under repeated high-heat runs, especially critical for tuned vehicles.
-
Stage 1 Tuned Vehicles: Significant reductions in power loss due to heat soak compared to OEM intake systems.
Upgrade your Audi C8 RS6 or RS7 with the Pipercross AirMax Intake System today — available now at Avon Tuning Store. Experience the sound, the power, and the performance your RS deserves.
