Ramair Performance Intake Pipe Kit for Audi RS3 8V (Pre-Facelift)
Free up airflow to your turbo with this Ramair intake pipe kit. It replaces the narrow, corrugated factory pipe on the Audi RS3 8V pre-facelift. The smooth, larger-bore design reduces restriction and helps the turbo breathe easier. Expect crisper throttle response, quicker spool, and a deeper induction sound.
Why this matters
The stock intake pipe can slow the flow of air before it reaches the turbo. A smoother pipe reduces turbulence. This means the turbo does not have to work as hard to pull air in. It helps performance at all speeds and supports tuned cars that need more airflow.
- Smoother, larger internal bore for better airflow.
- Stronger than the factory plastic pipe – built to handle heat and pressure.
- Improves throttle response and turbo spool.
- Pairs well with remaps and other bolt-ons.
- Works with the standard airbox and many popular performance intakes.
- Direct fit with factory mounts for a clean, OE-style install.
Fitment
Designed for the Audi RS3 8V pre-facelift with the 2.5 TFSI engine. Pre-facelift only – not for 2017+ facelift models.
Please use our vehicle lookup to confirm fitment, or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for full details before ordering.

Installation notes
Direct bolt-on. Basic hand tools are usually enough. Allow time for a cool engine. Fit the couplers evenly and tighten clamps securely to avoid air leaks. No ECU work is required, but gains are best when combined with a quality remap and supporting mods. Power increases may vary based on the car’s state of tune and other parts.
