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 DESIGN

  • The 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) = 21.41in²

      • Stock Duct Frontal Inlet Area (Cold Air) - 11.98in²

      • Stock Duct Rear Inlet Area (Hot Air) - 9.43in²

    • ECS Inlet Area (Cold Air Only) = 34.22in²

      • Total 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 scoop

    • The flanged mating surface seals within the OEM airbox just like the stock inlet duct

 

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

  • The 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 "hot air inlet" on the OEM inlet duct's engine bay inlet passage. Our Engineering team evaluated the performance of both products and found that with the OEM inlet duct, airbox temperatures increased dramatically at high RPM (~4,600 RPM+) due to airflow being pulled from the hot engine bay side. We measured up to 26° F. temperature decrease with our similarly designed ECS Carbon Fiber Dual Inlet Duct versus the OEM!

  • All new mounting hardware and assembly hardware

 

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

  • Our MQB "Luft-Technik" Dual Air Inlet Duct was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.

  • Our kit is compatible with the OEM expansion tank return hose, however, for improved aesthetics we recommend our "Silicone Coolant Hose Re-route Kit" - ES3638683, available separately.

Amazing concept
Color: Usb Powered, Color: Usb Powered
They are everything I wanted for the aesthetic I was going for. They are a fairly simple install and they come with pretty good instructions. However, I don't know if it was my rush to get them up or if it was a design flaw but they are not very sturdy in the wall. I had seen a few reviews that said that they were a bit loose and I wasn't expecting heavy objects on it but I did end up needing to put support bars underneath them just because they kept sinking downward. Had I known that would have been the case I would have installed them differently and avoided putting holes in my wall at all but they're up now and it is what it is.

Can I say these are the perfect shelves for home decor? Yes I can. I love these shelves. They gave my walls some well needed decor upgrade. Only downside it that the cords are not removeable.
