Upgrade your rear intake pipe on your Volkswagen MK7 GTI, Golf R or Audi 8V S3 with the APR Carbon Fiber Rear Intake Pipe. This direct-fit upgrade replaces the restrictive factory plastic accordion tube with a smooth carbon fiber pipe that improves airflow, sharpens throttle response, enhances induction sound, and adds a premium engine bay appearance. Quick Fitment Overview Compatible with Volkswagen MK7 GTI, Golf R, Golf Alltrack, Golf SportWagen, and Audi 8V S3 Compatible with all factory turbochargers and APR's Stage III Turbocharger System Carbon fiber construction Product Description The APR Carbon Fiber Rear Intake Pipe replaces the factory plastic accordion-style tube located between the intake system and turbo inlet. Its smooth internal profile reduces turbulence and restriction while giving the intake path a cleaner, more direct transition. A proper flex coupler is included to accommodate normal engine movement under acceleration and shifting. This helps protect the intake system while maintaining a secure connection between components. The pipe works with factory turbochargers and APR Stage III Turbocharger systems, making it a practical upgrade for stock, tuned, and future higher-output builds. Best For: Volkswagen and Audi MQB owners who want improved airflow, sharper response, enhanced induction sound, and a premium carbon fiber engine bay upgrade. Why Choose the APR Carbon Fiber Rear Intake Pipe? The factory accordion tube is designed for packaging and noise control rather than maximum airflow. APR replaces it with a smooth carbon fiber pipe and an integrated flex connection to improve the intake path without sacrificing proper engine movement or fitment.
