Enhance performance with improved airflow and throttle response.
The K&N Cold Air Intake 57 Series Generation II is engineered to optimize engine performance for select non-US Audi A3 1.8 Liter models from 1996 to 1997. This intake system replaces the entire factory air intake, allowing for increased horsepower and improved throttle response. The design features a larger, washable, and reusable air filter that captures more dirt and extends service life up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is necessary.
Constructed with high-quality materials, including plastic for the tube and cotton gauze for the filter, this intake system ensures durability and longevity. The black tube finish provides a sleek appearance while maintaining functionality. Installation is straightforward, typically taking 90 minutes or less, making it accessible for those looking to enhance their vehicle's performance without extensive modifications.
K&N induction kits are tailored for specific vehicles, ensuring optimal fit and performance. The increased airflow and reduced restriction compared to factory systems contribute to a more responsive engine sound and overall driving experience.
