Gruppe M carbon composite intakes join function with form to create beautiful and functional cold-air intakes and intake components. And now, they have crafted a Ram Air Intake for the B8 A4 and A5!


Audi A4/A5 B8 2.0TFSI Carbon Ram Air Intake System by GruppeM

Airflow is the key ingredient to the combustion cycle of a high performance engine. Therefore, the intake system cannot be ignored and must stand up to the task of supplying the engine with not only clean air (free of any residue or particulate matter), but also maintain ample cooling to provide the highest density possible, in addition to properly utilizing the ram effect at high speeds, to effectively increase the volume of the intake charge. These are key ingredients to bring out the full potential of your engine.

At GruppeM, their engineers take all of this into account when designing their RAMair Systems. They start with only the finest carbon fiber or carbon kevlar materials, hand crafted to ensure proper fit and finish.

Their partnership with K&N means only the finest four-layer cotton filters are used, custom designed and manufactured to GruppeM’s strict standards. Together, K&N’s long history of air filter design combined with GruppeM's track proven technology means they can offer you the finest ram air induction systems available.

Engineering & Technology

Automobile manufacturers must make design concessions to meet cost criteria. In contrast, GruppeM pursues the ideal. Expert craftsman and zero-tolerance manufacturing processes deliver vehicle systems that improve performance while increasing visual appeal. Lightweight materials like titanium, carbon fiber, and carbon-kelvar weaves are exploited for their strength, thermal properties, and distinctly unique GruppeM sound.

Every GruppeM carbon fiber air intake system is made by hand with light weight carbon fiber composites using the most advanced “wet” and “dry” carbon fiber manufacturing processes. Each system must exceed the requirements to sustain the extreme pressure induced by high performance engines.

Each design is different to create the best shape for each car model to maximize utilization of the limited available space in the engine room compartment. GruppeM manufacturing processes only utilize the most technically advanced materials.

From high-density carbon fiber with Kevlar® weave to instrument-grade aluminum and titanium elements, each GruppeM air intake, exhaust, brake line, and aerodynamic system is designed, crafted, and relentlessly tested to accomplish one goal… increase performance.

RAMair Components


Each cone-shaped high-density multilayer cotton fiber filter is specifically designed by K&N for GruppeM air intake systems. GruppeM has specifically designed each carbon fiber air intake case for each matching car make and model.

Engineered to increase airflow, increase air velocity, stabilize the flow pattern, decrease intake air temperature, and decrease weight, the GruppeM RAMair™ intake system takes high-performance to a new level.

All GruppeM air intake systems come complete with precise installation kits providing bolt-on simplicity to the fitting process including the exclusive design of the GruppeM fitting adapter to ensure each fitting is exact. The custom K&N filter made for specifically for GruppeM is easily maintained with normal cleaning long performance life. K&N filters are designed to function and perform as new following regular cleaning of the cotton fiber.

RAMair Performance



Airflow velocity and temperature at the time of inhalation is critical to improved combustion. With the patented conical GruppeM filter shape, when air passes through the filter, it is compressed, and creates thrust similar to a jet engine, increasing the flow velocity. The limited space in the engine compartment is used as effectively as possible through extensive design. The shape of each GruppeM intake duct is designed to increase airflow velocity incrementally with the forced induction pressure.

Each RAMair intake system has a serialized plate riveted to the surface of the intake duct to indicate the intake is a genuine GruppeM product, and exceeds the quality manufacturing and finished product standard set by GruppeM, and symbolizes the quality guarantee of every GruppeM product.

GruppeM's RAMair systems are quite popular sellers for us and we imagine it must have to do with their dedication to make the finest air intakes possible. If you are interested in more information about this awesome system, click here!

 

Very nice. Love all of my GruppeM intakes!
