THE BEST INTAKE IN THE WORLD FOR THE 3.0 SUPERCHARGED V6 ENGINE. BAR NONE.

After more than 12 years of owning, testing, and pushing the limits of the B8 Audi S4, Can Auto Performance (CAP) is proud to unveil the most advanced intake system ever created for the 2010–2017 B8/B8.5 Audi S4 and S5.

Our obsession with this platform runs deep. Over the years, the CAP team has owned more than a dozen vehicles equipped with the legendary 3.0T supercharged V6 engine. We’ve tested and compared nearly every intake system available — always looking for ways to push performance further.

In 2018, we introduced our first intake (V1) as a high-quality, direct-fit alternative that let owners enjoy easy horsepower gains and a louder supercharger whine without overspending. A few years later, we launched the V2 — improving materials, increasing filter size, and enhancing overall build quality, while still maintaining a competitive price.

But even before the V2 hit the market, we had already started working on the next evolution. For years, we’ve obsessed over every detail of what would become the V3 Intake — determined to create not just a great option, but the undisputed best intake available for this platform. Every detail was pushed to the limit: we 3D-scanned the engine bay to maximize usable space, redesigned every dimension for perfect fit and flow, and created new molds for even the smallest intake accessories to deliver uncompromised performance.

3.0T SUPERCHARGED V6 4" (102mm) INTAKE - #1 MOD FOR ANY AUDI WITH THE 3.0T

The result? A no-compromise intake system that sets a new benchmark for the B8/B8.5 S4 and S5.

Introducing the CAP V3 4" (102mm) Intake — Performance Without Limits

Unlock maximum performance for your B8/B8.5 Audi S4/S5 with the most advanced intake system ever designed for the 3.0T Supercharged V6 engine. Precision engineered, dyno-proven and obsessively refined, CAP’s V3 intake sets a new benchmark for performance, aesthetic design and sound.

Our intake tube is built from aerospace-grade titanium which delivers a lightweight yet incredibly strong design with excellent heat resistance to keep air intake temperatures (AIT’s) down. Beyond the absolute best performance available in the market, the titanium construction adds an exotic motorsport inspired look, available in both a subtle OEM+ brushed look and a more bold burnt finish.

What Sets Our Titanium Intake Apart

  • Largest & Highest Flowing Filter on the Market
    Featuring a massive 7-inch performance air filter with 53% more surface area than the leading options available, this intake ensures unmatched airflow to your engine. Engineered for both size and efficiency, it’s the biggest and most effective filter ever designed for the 3.0T Supercharged V6 engine.
  • World’s First Integrated Dual Methanol Bungs
    No compromises. Our intake is the first in the world to incorporate not one, but two pre-installed methanol injection bungs, giving you ultimate flexibility for cooling and fuelling strategies without aftermarket modifications or drilling. 
  • Largest Velocity Stack for the 3.0T
    Equipped with the biggest and highest-flowing velocity stack in its class, the intake channels air with precision, maximizing velocity while reducing turbulence for peak performance gains.
  • Supercharger Whine that puts Hellcats to shame
    This intake amplifies the supercharger’s whine, making it louder than the hellcats revving at your local car meets.
  • Proprietary Filtration Technology – CAPFlowMax
    Developed exclusively for this intake, our CAPFlowMax technology balances extreme airflow with superior filtration. The result: cleaner, denser air entering your supercharged engine, delivering more power with total confidence in reliability.

OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE: CAN AUTO PERFORMANCE INTAKE FOR AUDI 3.0T

Premium Engineering Features

We didn’t stop at “different.” We refined every detail with OEM-level precision and enthusiast-level passion:

  • 4" Titanium Tube Construction: Ultra-lightweight yet stronger than aluminum or stainless.
  • CFD-optimized and flow-tested, delivering measurable gains backed by real engineering.
  • 3D-scanned engine bay modeling, ensuring every millimeter is optimized for maximum space usage and airflow.
  • Smooth interior edges to maintain laminar airflow with zero disruptions.
  • Multiple design revisions for perfect fitment and performance refinement.
  • Molded heat shield with integrated air channel, guiding fresh air directly to the filter.
  • Heat Resistance: Naturally dissipates heat faster, keeping intake air temperatures lower.
  • Exotic Appeal: We offer two finishes for our titanium intake — a subtle OEM+ brushed finish (Ghost) for a factory-clean look, or a burnt titanium finish (Phoenix) with vibrant heat-treated hues for those who want a bold, attention-grabbing statement under the hood. 
  • Durability: Corrosion-proof and built to last a lifetime, even under extreme conditions.
  • OEM rubber grommets reused with CAP’s hardware, maintaining factory-like mounting and reliability.
  • Weather stripping on the heat shield for superior sealing against engine bay heat.
  • Heat Shield integrated bracket system, including a billet SAI filter bracket providing a plug and play solution without zip ties.

Though we’re now two generations beyond the B8, CAP will never forget where it all began. The B8 platform is what launched our journey and helped us build incredible relationships within the car community — bonds we still value today. Nearly two decades later, we remain committed to supporting the platform that started it all for us.

That’s why we’ve invested so much time and engineering into this intake. We know the B8 community is still strong, passionate, and full of enthusiasts who appreciate products built with the same dedication that brought this platform to life in the first place.

Q5 & SQ5 Notice

Upgraded Throttle Body Notice

This intake will only work with upgraded throttle bodies that retain the OEM throttle body location.

If your upgraded throttle body does not use the OEM location, this intake will not be compatible.

We also do not supply the coupler meant for upgraded throttle bodies as you will need a 3.5” to 4” coupler for our intake to work with your setup.

The CAP V3 Intake is backed by our legendary Lifetime Warranty, a promise that your investment is protected for as long as you own it. We engineer every product to last, and we proudly stand behind that commitment.

Warranty Disclaimer

Please note that the
air filter is considered a wear-and-tear item and is not covered under the lifetime warranty.

CAP FILTER VS. INDUSTRY LEADING FILTER AIRFLOW AT REDLINE

Back-to-back testing compared the CAP 7-inch filter against the industry’s best 7-inch option under identical conditions. The results were clear: our filter delivered a 24.78 hPa lower pressure drop at redline — a measurable airflow advantage.
While a 2.7% efficiency gain may sound small, at dual pulley power levels it translates into real horsepower and torque you can measure. Many other intakes tested showed 40–60 hPa higher drops, proving the CAP V3 filter is among the most efficient and effective solutions on the market.

CAP FILTER VS. INDUSTRY LEADING FILTER AIR MASS AT REDLINE

Back-to-back testing compared the CAP 7-inch filter against the industry’s leading 7-inch filter under identical conditions. At redline, the CAP filter flowed nearly 2.5% more air mass (kg/h) than the competitor.
On the road, that efficiency translates into an estimated +15 horsepower gain, achieved simply by switching to the CAP filter.
This test proves that even small improvements in airflow at high RPM deliver real, measurable performance — reinforcing that the CAP V3 intake isn’t just engineered for the dyno, but for maximum results where it matters most: behind the wheel.

    Absolutely noticeable in sound and power. Excellent product !!

    I installed this titanium V3 intake on my 2013 S5 Stage 2 Unitronic tuned AUDI and the difference in sound and power was immediately noticeable. Very linear power delivery and in higher RPMs it shines even more. Extremely satisfied with my purchase. Now I can't wait to install CAP's Oversized Heat exchanger, Resonated Test Pipes and Resonated Downpipes and moving on to Stage 3 to really let the beast perform better than it is now. Thanks CAP for supporting this awesome platform and for producing quality products that truly work. 🙏🤘😎
