CAP High Flow Performance Drop-In Intake Filter for Q7/SQ7, Q8/SQ8/RSQ8, Cayenne, Urus & Bentayga
Designed for Audi Q7/SQ7 and Q8/SQ8/RSQ8, Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus, and Bentley Bentayga equipped with 2.9T, 3.0T, and 4.0T turbocharged engines, this CAP High Flow Performance Drop-In Intake Filter delivers improved airflow while maintaining OEM-level fitment and filtration.
Can Auto Performance developed this high-flow drop-in intake filter as a direct replacement upgrade for factory air filters used on high-performance SUV platforms. It is engineered to reduce intake restriction under high airflow demand without requiring a full intake system replacement.
Turbocharged engines are extremely sensitive to intake restriction, especially at higher engine speeds and sustained load. While the factory filter is sufficient for daily driving, airflow demand increases significantly during aggressive driving or on tuned vehicles. This CAP intake filter was engineered to improve airflow efficiency where it matters most, helping the turbochargers operate more effectively without requiring a full intake system replacement.
Designed to maintain OEM level fitment and sealing, this filter installs directly in place of the factory unit in minutes using factory hardware. No tuning is required and drivability remains unchanged, making it an ideal upgrade for both stock and modified vehicles.
Real World Performance
Across multiple runs and varying conditions, the CAP filter consistently delivered improved acceleration compared to the stock filter, with the most noticeable gains occurring at higher engine speeds where intake restriction becomes a limiting factor.

- MBMohammed B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsYesterdayVery good performance air filter
I recently installed the CAP air filter on my vehicle, and I’m honestly very impressed with the results. Right away, I noticed an improvement in throttle response and a slight gain in torque, especially during acceleration. The engine feels more responsive and breathes much better compared to the stock filter.
Another thing I really like is the sound it gives the engine a deeper, more aggressive tone without being too loud or annoying. It adds a nice sporty feel to the driving experience.
The build quality is excellent. You can tell right away that it’s well-manufactured with high-quality materials, and it fits perfectly without any issues. Installation was very straightforward and took only a few minutes, no modifications needed.
Overall, this is a great upgrade if you’re looking for better performance, improved sound, and a quality product that’s easy to install. Definitely worth it. I highly recommend it.
- JMJacob M.Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoBEST FILTER ON THE MARKET!
I've used the APR filter and also the BMC filter. Both were definitely an upgrade over the OEM filter and I had no complaints with either but I am happy I decided to give this filter a shot. I did not think it would be possible but my cars acceleration improved across the board. I'm seeing more consistent and better times for every performance metric I test. I'm super happy with the results and I'll definitely buy another one just so there's no downtime when it's time to service it. I'd highly recommend this whether you're stock or modified. For a little bit more money than OEM, this is a no brainer! This is the best filter I've used so far and I'm looking forward to if Canauto makes more products for my RSQ8. Oh and it sounds good too!!!
- MKMichael K.Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoPerfect fitment and my SQ8 is quicker!
I needed to change my filter for maintenance, this was less expensive than the Audi replacement and flows much better. Car spools faster. Very happy with the build quality, fitment was absolutely spot on. The black/red color looks way better than OEM too! Highly recommended.
