2018-2025 CAP 8" Intake V2 | B9/B9.5 Audi SQ5

3.0T TURBOCHARGED V6 8" INTAKE - THE BEST FLOWING INTAKE ON THE MARKET FOR YOUR B9/B9.5 SQ5 

The CAP V2 Intake for the B9/B9.5 Audi SQ5 is engineered with one goal: move more air, more efficiently, than anything else available for the platform. Designed using advanced CFD analysis and validated through real-world testing, this intake delivers measurable performance gains while setting a new benchmark for airflow capacity, sound, and fitment in the SQ5 segment.

Featuring the largest air filter and largest velocity stack available for the B9/B9.5 platform, the CAP V2 Intake maximizes airflow volume while maintaining smooth, high-velocity air delivery to the turbocharger. The result is improved throttle response, faster boost onset, and stronger, more consistent power delivery — all with OEM-level reliability and no tune required.

What Sets Our Intake Apart

• Massive 8-Inch Performance Air Filter
Featuring 53% more surface area than leading competitor options, the oversized filter supports the higher airflow demands of the SQ5 without sacrificing filtration efficiency.

• CAPFlowMax Proprietary Filtration Technology
Developed exclusively for this intake, CAPFlowMax balances extreme airflow with superior filtration, ensuring clean, dense air enters the turbocharger for consistent performance and long-term reliability.

• Largest Velocity Stack for the B9 Platform
The biggest and highest-flowing velocity stack in its class smooths airflow entry, increases velocity, and reduces turbulence — maximizing performance gains across stock, tuned, and upgraded setups.

Engineering & Development

• CFD-Optimized and Flow-Tested – Designed using advanced airflow simulations to deliver proven performance gains backed by real engineering.
• 3D-Scanned Engine Bay Modeling – Every millimeter of available space is utilized to ensure optimal airflow and precise SQ5-specific fitment.
• Multiple Design Revisions – Refined through numerous iterations to perfect airflow performance, sound characteristics, and ease of installation.
• Built for Durability – Corrosion-resistant construction designed to last a lifetime, even under demanding driving conditions.
• OEM Mounting Integration – Reuses factory rubber grommets with CAP hardware for factory-like fit, isolation, and reliability.
• Sealed Heat Shield Design – Weather stripping and an integrated bracket system keep the heat shield securely mounted while isolating the filter from engine bay heat.

Sound That Matches the Performance

The CAP V2 Intake transforms the driving experience of the SQ5. Expect pronounced turbo spool, sharper throttle response, and an aggressive intake sound under load — all while remaining perfectly civil for daily driving.

Designed to Scale with Your Build

Whether you’re running a stock setup, tuned configuration, or planning future turbo upgrades, the CAP V2 Intake is engineered to support airflow demands well beyond factory limits — making it the last intake you’ll ever need for your B9/B9.5 SQ5.
