PART DESIGN
In-house designed and engineered using FARO ARM laser scanning technology for precise fitment
3.0" T304 Stainless Steel Mandrel Bent, Brushed Tubing with 1.25mm wall thickness
Dual 2.5" Tailpipe Sections with Tig-Welded Merge Pipe and Laser-Cut ECS Logo Plate
Lighter weight than the OEM catback exhaust:
OEM Catback: 54lbs
ECS Valved Catback: 41lbs (-13lbs)
ECS Non-Valved Catback: 38lbs (-16lbs)
T304 Stainless Steel 12mm barbed round stock exhaust hangers Tig-Welded in OE locations for precise fitment. An additional exhaust hanger and rubber bushing are added at the rear subframe location for additional support.
Strategically placed slip joints provide the most adjustability to obtain perfect fitment
VALVED MUFFLER:
Tested multiple muffler designs to achieve the most desirable exhaust notes with the largest delta between valve closed and valve open driving experiences
Valve Closed Routing - 3-chamber perforated reduction tubes with stainless steel wool packing material provides a sporty driving experience without causing excessive resonance, volume and performance loss
Valve Open Routing - Straight-through 3.0" perforated tube with stainless steel wool packing material provides the most unobstructed flow path for race-inspired driving experience to maximize volume
Vacuum-actuated exhaust valve provides outstanding reliability in the harshest conditions. Unlike electronic servo motors that are prone to failure, our exhaust valves have been tested in thousands of applications and have proven to be reliable.
NON-VALVED MUFFLER:
Straight Through "Turbo Style" Muffler
In-House designed to provide a sporty driving experience like no other
Perforated core with stainless steel wool packing for sound absorption
Designed to maximize ground clearance while still being compatible with aftermarket components

PERFORMANCE FEATURES
VALVED: Dyno tested on a similar application on our in-ground Mustang "AWD 500 SE" Dyno with our ECS Tuning Shop MK7 GTI we showed maximum gains of +9 WHP and +8 FT/Lbs of torque while equipped with our ECS Kohlefaser Luft-Technik Intake, APR Stage 1 93 Octane Software and the OEM downpipe, with the exhaust valve open.
NON-VALVED: Dyno tested on a similar application on our in-ground Mustang "AWD 500 SE" Dyno with our ECS Tuning Shop MK7 GTI we showed maximum gains of +9 WHP and +15 FT/Lbs of torque while equipped with our ECS Kohlefaser Luft-Technik Intake, APR Stage 1 93 Octane Software and the OEM downpipe.

The ECS Tuning Luft-Technik (Air Technology) Induction System is a premium in-house designed engine aspiration product for your VW MK7 Golf/GTI/Golf R/Alltrack/Jetta GLI or Audi 8v A3/S3 1.8T/2.0T Gen3 that not only delivers remarkable power gains, but also blends automotive engineering into an artistic canvas of underhood beauty. Our system is constructed of premium materials and utilizes the most advanced development methods available to date. Our system is engineered to follow the OEM flow path, keeping installation simple with basic hand tools and includes all new installation hardware.
Throughout years of in-house development, performance-driven design changes and strict product testing, our design has resulted in a highly effective air induction system. Our induction system not only looks good but is real world tested with performance that is second to none. If you expect nothing but the best, like we do, this is the only system for you!
PART DESIGN
Designed and engineered in-house using state of the art 3D laser scanning and CAD technology for precision fitment
INTAKE TUBE - Mandrel bent 6061 aluminum 80mm (3.15") Wrinkle Black Powdercoated Aluminum Induction Tube provides smooth, direct airflow into the turbo inlet hose. Includes a CNC bent, TIG welded support bracket and OE-location vacuum nipple for the intake manifold runner flap solenoid for perfect fitment and functionality.
TURBO INLET HOSE OPTIONS:
Silicone Inlet Hose - Made from 5-ply fiberglass reinforced silicone to prevent collapsing under high boost conditions. Features a smooth transition from the intake tube to the turbo inlet elbow for the least-amount of turbulent airflow. Designed to handle high engine bay temperatures and is resistant to oil / chemical degradation for long term durability. Includes stainless steel, smooth band "German Style" hose clamps.
Carbon Fiber / Kevlar Tubes - The carbon fiber / carbon Kevlar pipe is constructed from 2x2 twill carbon weave then gloss clear coated for UV and heat protection for continuous operating temperatures of up to 300° F. Designed to fit perfectly in place of the factory accordion pipe, our CAD design assures a smooth gradual transition from the intake to the turbo inlet.
AIR FILTER - 3 1/8" conical, cotton gauze, clean-able filter element. Features smooth bell mouth inlet and a conical shape that maximizes filtration surface area. An 8-ply cotton gauze construction provides the best balance between airflow and filtration efficiency.
- SECONDARY AIR INJECTION (optional) - Our system is fully compatible with the OEM SAI emissions system. The included cotton gauze SAI breather filter provides a fresh air source to the SAI pump using our custom CNC-machined 6061 aluminum SAI adapter to the OEM SAI hose.
KIT CONTENTS
- 80mm (3.15") Wrinkle Black Powdercoated Aluminum Induction Tube with Mounting Bolt & Lock Washer
- Your choice of turbo inlet hose/tube

PERFORMANCE FEATURES
Dyno Tested ECS Shop MK7 GTI with COBB Stage 1+ 93 Octane Software, ECS Turbo Outlet and Throttle Body Charge Pipe Kit and Milltek 3.0" Turbo Back Exhaust System
(As tested: Luft-Technik Intake with Inlet Scoop and Heat shield, oiled air filter, 80mm inlet tube and silicone turbo inlet hose)
- Maximum Gains: +6.0 Wheel Horsepower @ 5,300 RPM and +6.0 Ft/lbs of Wheel Torque @ 5,200 RPM
- Peak Gains: +5.0 Wheel Horsepower @ 5,300 RPM and +1.0 Ft/lbs Wheel Torque @ 2,700 RPM
- Largest peak HP and Torque gains are between 4,500 and 6,800 RPM for consistent mid to top-range boost in power!
- Turbocharger efficiency is also improved by reducing restriction ahead of the compressor, resulting in less boost pressure needed to produce more power. At 6,000 RPM the ECS Luft-Technik Intake made +6.0 WHP over the stock intake system with 1.8psi lower boost pressure.
Flow bench tested on our in-house Superflow SF-750 Flowbench we observed a + 98.0 CFM / +27% gain over the stock intake system
(As tested: oiled air filter, 80mm inlet tube and carbon fiber turbo inlet tube)
- ECS Luft-Technik Intake - 453 CFM @ 14" H²O
- Stock Intake - 355 CFM @ 14" H²O
