After years of obsessing over the 3.0T supercharged V6 engine, Can Auto Performance (CAP) is proud to unveil the V3 Intake System for the 2012–2018 Audi A6 and A7. We have tested nearly every intake on the market and pushed every detail to the limit to create a system that sets a new benchmark for performance, fitment, and sound.
Two Premium Materials, One Dominant Design
Whether you are building a show car or a daily-driven warrior, the V3 system offers the perfect solution. You can select the construction that fits your build:
-
Aerospace-Grade Titanium: For the ultimate in lightweight strength and exotic appeal. Titanium naturally dissipates heat faster to help reduce intake air temperatures (IATs) and is available in a subtle OEM+ Ghost (Brushed) finish or a bold Phoenix (Burnt) finish.
-
Performance Aluminum: A robust, powder-coated option that delivers the same massive airflow gains in a durable, cost-effective package designed to outlast the engine itself.
Performance Without Limits
At the heart of the V3 system is a massive 4-inch (102mm) intake tube designed to unlock maximum horsepower. We didn't just make it bigger — we engineered it to be smarter:
-
Largest Filter on the Market: Features a massive 7-inch performance air filter with 53% more surface area than leading competitors for unmatched airflow.
-
World’s First Dual Methanol Bungs: No drilling required. Our intake features two pre-installed methanol injection bungs, giving you ultimate flexibility for cooling and fueling.
-
Class-Leading Velocity Stack: Equipped with the biggest velocity stack in its class, this intake channels air with precision to maximize velocity and reduce turbulence.
-
Hellcat-Rivalling Sound: This intake amplifies the supercharger whine, delivering an aggressive, unmistakable tone under load.
-
CAPFlowMax Technology: Developed exclusively for this intake, our filtration technology balances extreme airflow with superior filtration for total engine protection.
Precision Engineering & Fitment
We 3D-scanned the C7 engine bay to ensure every millimeter is optimized. The result is a perfect fit that utilizes a molded heat shield with weather stripping to block engine heat and guide fresh air to the filter. We even designed a billet SAI filter bracket and reused OEM rubber grommets to ensure a factory-quality install without zip ties or rattles.

Warranty Disclaimer
Please note: The air filter is a wear-and-tear item and is not covered by the warranty.
