ECSTuningLuft-TechnikDualAirInletDuct-MatteTextured-MQB2.0T

The ECS Tuning MQB Luft-Technik (Air Technology) Dual Air Inlet Duct is a premium in-house designed engine aspiration product that increases frontal air inlet area and lowers air inlet temperatures, all while blending automotive engineering into an artistic canvas of underhood beauty. The ECS Dual Air Inlet Duct replaces the undersized OEM air inlet duct in favor of a smoother flowing and larger capacity dual air inlet scoop designed to feed massive amounts of cold outside air directly into the air filter! The OEM inlet duct was tailored to the majority of everyday drivers who prefer a muffled, relaxed driving experience. This came at the cost for air induction capacity and design. Inlet air is restricted to available airflow from two tiny passages on the opposite of the airbox at the front and rear of the inlet duct. At higher speeds we found that the rear-facing inlet draws in hot, engine-bay air into the airbox, increasing airbox inlet temps. The OEM inlet duct has further issues for performance-minded owners, such as a blocked off inlet passage directly in front of the airbox along with abrupt edges leading into the air inlet channel. By replacing the factory inlet duct with the ECS Dual Inlet Duct, considerably more airflow is available to the air filter. Our design increases frontal cold air area by as much as +285.6% for a massive increase in cool, outside air! We also measured a reduction in airbox inlet temperature of -26° F at redline!PART DESIGNThe beautifully crafted inlet duct is manufactured from lightweight, heat resistant, textured matte black polymer. It's engineered for a perfect contour to the OEM core support and features a gradual taper to provide a smooth collection of cool outside air into the air filter. Improves on the OE design by providing DIRECT airflow into the air box and maximizes available area by utilizing both sides of the front grille assembly Stock Inlet Total Area (Hot & Cold Air) = 21.41in²Stock Duct Frontal Inlet Area (Cold Air) - 11.98in²Stock Duct Rear Inlet Area (Hot Air) - 9.43in²ECS Inlet Area (Cold Air Only) = 34.22in²Total area increase over OEM - +159.8%Frontal area (Cold Air) increase over OEM - +285.6%Compatible with OEM airbox or aftermarket intakes that utilize the OE air inlet scoopThe flanged mating surface seals within the OEM airbox just like the stock inlet duct PERFORMANCE FEATURESThe increase in available air inlet volume easily translates into more airflow available to the air filter. Whether your vehicle is equipped with the stock airbox and a high-flow filter or utilizing an aftermarket intake system with the OE inlet scoop, the ECS Dual Inlet outperforms the OEM inlet in all areas.Not only does the ECS Inlet Duct feed a massive amount of greater airflow into the airbox from the frontal area but it eliminates the
