aFe Power BladeRunner Aluminum Hot and Cold Charge Pipe Kit Black w/ Turbo Muffler Delete 2015-2021 VW GTI Audi A3 S3
This aFe Power BladeRunner kit upgrades the stock plastic intercooler pipes on 2015-2021 Volkswagen GTI and compatible Audi models with mandrel-bent aluminum tubes for smoother airflow and reduced pressure loss. Dyno testing shows +23 horsepower and +28 lb x ft torque gains while outflowing factory tubes by 34%. The included turbo muffler delete enhances turbo sound and flow for noticeable power increases across the RPM range.

- Turbo Muffler Delete: Oversized two-piece 2-1/4 inch billet aluminum design replaces restrictive factory muffler for louder turbo spool and unrestricted flow.
- Premium Hardware: Stainless steel spring-loaded T-bolt clamps secure 5-ply polyester-reinforced silicone couplings that withstand high boost pressures.
- Versatile Ports and Finish: 1/8 inch NPT ports accept sensors or water-methanol injection with wrinkle black powder coat for heat and corrosion protection plus laser-etched aFe logo.
