FAQ's

  • Will your Y-Pipe kit work if I keep my existing RS4 style lower inlets? 
    • Absolutely.  We sell the necessary couplers to connect our 3" uppers directly to your existing lower inlets. We have the adapter couplers.  No engine pull or major service required. 
    • Our large 2.5" lower inlets can always be added when servicing the engine down the road.
  • Do I need aftermarket engine mount brackets? No, factory brackets work fine
  • Do I have to use your air filter and MAF housing? 
    • No, we have several clients that have kept their existing airbox in conjunction with our Y-pipe system.  We designed our system for max effort and airflow. But there are still great benefits from the Y-pipe and inlets we offer.  We or our authorized sellers can help build a kit to cater your needs. 
  • The Torque-Factory intake has an open element filter; will this affect my intake air temps (IAT's) or power?
    • The quick answer is NO.  If this were a non-turbocharged engine, a fresh air intake is helpful.  However, because this car is turbocharged, the air coming from the filter is super-heated as it enters and exits the turbocharger compressor housing. It's close to 400 degrees f. Intercoolers are the primary component for cooling the charge air (boost) so there is no measurable difference in power level.  
  • I have Tial 605 or 770 turbos, can I use your inlets? 
    • Our upper inlets will work. The one-piece Tial inlets need to be trimmed back to connect to our 3" upper inlets.  Re-using your existing inlets is an easy option. Some clients have used our lower inlets with some modifications for fitment.  Please contact us with additional questions.
