The AWE S-FLO Intake Suite is available as the full kit with carbon cover, or piece-by-piece. Start with the S-FLO Filter, later upgrade to an S-FLO Intake (“filter on a stick”), then add the S-FLO Carbon Cover for the full experience. Or, go full S-FLO Carbon Intake from the jump. The decision is yours:
The S-FLO Carbon Intake
For drivers looking for an intake that not only performs, but also looks good doing it, the AWE S-FLO Carbon Intake is the one. The S-FLO Carbon Intake is comprised of three primary components: (1) The washable S-FLO Filter and (2) our high-flow, 4-ply Nomex®, fluorosilicone lined, steel wire reinforced silicon air tube and (3) the 2x2 twill carbon fiber cover.
By deploying the fully enclosed S-FLO Carbon Intake, the ambient ram-air is drawn into the inlet and fed beneath the S-FLO’s carbon cover, keeping it cool compared to an open element configuration susceptible to engine bay temperatures. Keeping this ambient ram-air cool results in impressive power gains filtered through the AWE S-FLO Intake.
The AWE S-FLO Carbon Intake includes the S-FLO Carbon Cover, S-FLO Intake, S-FLO Filter, and all necessary brackets and mounting hardware.
The S-FLO Intake
The AWE S-FLO Intake packs the same power as the full carbon intake, minus the carbon. The AWE S-FLO Intake is comprised of two key components: (1) The washable S-FLO Filter and (2) our high-flow, 4-ply Nomex®, fluorosilicone lined, steel wire reinforced silicon air tube. Together, it’s a free-flowing match made in heaven, allowing optimal flow geometry through the inlet, center section, and outlet of the tube, keeping things tight with our custom molded lip for a perfect seal to the airbox.
The AWE S-FLO Intake includes the AWE S-FLO Intake hose, S-FLO Filter, and all required hardware for installation.
The S-FLO Filter
The S-FLO Filter is the largest filter that can fit within the factory air-box, and also our bespoke filter of choice for all 3.0T S-FLO packages. The AWE S-FLO Filter is a proprietary, washable, large cylindrical filter that has been tested to allow up to 34% more airflow than the factory paper filter.
The AWE S-FLO Filter includes:
The entirety of the 3.0T S-FLO lineup was designed and tested on AWE in-house vehicles, and are cost effective, incredibly attractive upgrades to bring the power!
Below are dyno comparison tests performed on our Mustang MD-500-SE AWD dynamometer. All tests were performed using our B8 S4 6speed, with controlled ambient conditions.
Crankshaft Horsepower Gains for the AWE 3.0T S-FLO Intake
Wheel Horsepower Gains for the AWE 3.0T S-FLO Intake
(Above) Adding the AWE Tuning 3.0T S-FLO Intake results in substantial power gains over the factory system. Gains of +9 wheel hp and +5 wheel tq were made using stock software. This results in gains of +10 crank hp and +6 crank tq. Maximum gains of +15 crank hp and +11 crank tq are seen at 7000 rpm.
Pressure Drop Testing for the AWE 3.0T S-FLO Intake
(Above) shows the pressure drop of the AWE Tuning 3.0T S-FLO Intake (one using just the S-FLO filter, the other using the complete system) vs. the factory air box and filter. Less restriction is represented by a pressure drop close to zero. It can be seen that the S-FLO filter is less restrictive than the stock filter and the AWE Tuning 3.0T S-FLO Intake system is far less restrictive than the factory air box and filter.
Flow Bench Testing for the AWE Tuning 3.0T S-Filter
(Above) Is data from flow bench testing of the AWE Tuning ® S-FLO filter in comparison to the stock filter. It can be seen that our S-FLO filter is capable of flowing 330.3 cubic feet per minute (CFM) compared to the stock filter’s 246.7 CFM in almost identical conditions. This increase in flows results in an increase in power.
The AWE Carbon Fiber Warranty on select products protects against manufacturer defects. Manufacturer defect is defined as any characteristic of the product which hinders its usability for the purpose for which it was designed and manufactured. The warranty against manufacturer defects doesn’t cover any cosmetic changes, or normal use wear and tear, or improper installation. All warranties cease at a product’s discontinuance. Under heat, carbon fiber may mature to present a gold hue. This coloration is covered under the one-year warranty, and if deemed appropriate at the sole discretion of AWE, may be replaced one time if the carbon fiber product is within the one-year window from purchase. Replacement for coloration from heat does not reset the factory one year warranty.
