]]> About this intake

The AToM Race-RS is our intake made only for the 2.5T EVO engine in the RS3 and TTRS. We redesigned the air inlet duct so it pulls air in through the grille and past the slam panel with less resistance. A rubber seal keeps hot air from the engine bay out. The filter sits inside a heat-shielded air accumulator, so the engine breathes cool air.

Key features

  • Redesigned ram-air inlet duct, powder coated
  • Rubber seal blocks hot engine bay air
  • 120mm (4.7″) washable reverse-mounted cone filter
  • 160mm (6.3″) air accumulator that also works as a heat shield
  • 100mm (4″) outlet
  • 4-ply silicone connectors with stainless steel clamps
  • Carbon option: closed carbon fibre filter case, gloss or matte
  • Standard option: aluminium filter case

Vehicle fitment

  • Audi RS3 8V.2 (facelift)
  • Audi RS3 8Y
  • Audi TTRS 8S
  • 2.5 TFSI EVO (EA855)

FAQ

Does it fit the RS3 8Y?
Yes. It fits the RS3 8V.2 facelift, the RS3 8Y and the TTRS 8S.

Is the filter washable?

Fits Audi RS3 8V.1 and TTRS 8S with the 2.5 TFSI EVO2 (EA855 DAZA) engine, pre-facelift cars 2017+.

Confirmed fitment:

  • Audi RS3 8V.1 Sportback (8V0) 2017–2020 — 2.5 TFSI EVO2 (DAZA)
  • Audi RS3 8V.1 Sedan (8VS) 2017–2020 — 2.5 TFSI EVO2 (DAZA)
  • Audi TTRS 8S 2017+ — 2.5 TFSI EVO2 (DAZA)

Engine platform: EA855 EVO2 2.5 TFSI — engine code DAZA  |  Includes: downpipe + midpipe assembly with heat shield

RS3 8V.2 facelift (2020–2022) or 8Y (2022+)? Those use the newer DNWA engine variant — not compatible with this DAZA-specific downpipe. We’re working on coverage for those platforms.

About this downpipe

The Blaze RS3 / TTRS downpipe + midpipe assembly replaces the restrictive factory exhaust front section on every DAZA-coded RS3 8V.1 and TTRS 8S. The factory unit’s pre-cat and primary cat severely choke the 5-cylinder’s distinctive sound and exhaust flow.

Two-piece downpipe + midpipe construction in stainless steel with integrated heat shield. OEM flange geometry at the turbo end and the cat-back end — direct bolt-on with no fabrication.

Tune required. Without a tune the car will throw a check engine light. Any major Audi 2.5 TFSI tuner (APR, Unitronic, MRC Tuning, IE, Revo) clears the code and unlocks full benefit.

Key features
  • Downpipe + midpipe complete assembly (two pieces)
  • Stainless steel construction with TIG welds
  • Integrated heat shield for engine-bay thermal management
  • OEM flanges — direct bolt-on at turbo and cat-back
  • Catless / off-road configuration
  • Unlocks the distinctive 5-cylinder soundtrack the EA855 is famous for
Specs & compatibility
  • Material: Stainless steel
  • Cat configuration: Catless (off-road / race use)
  • Construction: TIG-welded, includes heat shield
  • Engine: EA855 EVO2 2.5 TFSI (DAZA code)
  • Configuration: Downpipe + midpipe complete assembly
  • Tune: Required (APR, Unitronic, MRC, IE, Revo, etc.)

Off-road / race use only. Not intended for road use in jurisdictions with emissions compliance requirements. Buyer is responsible for ensuring legal compliance with local regulations.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have the DAZA engine?
DAZA is the engine code for the 2017–2020 RS3 8V.1 (pre-facelift) and 2017+ TTRS 8S. The engine code is stamped on the cam cover and listed in your VIN decode under engine designation. If you have a 2020.5+ RS3 with the 8V.2 facelift body, you likely have the newer DNWA engine and this part won’t fit.

Does it fit my RS3 8Y or facelift 8V.2?
No — both use the newer DNWA engine which has different exhaust routing.

Do I need a tune?
Yes — without a tune, the missing cats trigger a CEL. Any major Audi 2.5 TFSI tuner (APR, Unitronic, MRC Tuning, IE, Revo) clears it.

What’s in the box?
The downpipe, the midpipe, integrated heat shield, OEM-spec gaskets, and mounting hardware.

Is this legal on public roads?
This is a catless off-road / race exhaust. Road-legality depends on your country and local emissions requirements. Buyer is responsible for confirming legal use in their jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions

Which intake kits does this filter fit?

See the “Fits these vehicles” box above for compatibility. This is a direct-swap replacement filter element designed to fit specific Blaze AToM intake kits — no modifications needed.

How often should I replace the filter?

In normal road use, inspect the filter every 10,000–15,000 km and clean or replace if visibly dirty. In dusty environments or track use, inspect more frequently. The filter is washable cotton — refer to the cleaning kit instructions if you choose to clean rather than replace.

Can I install the filter myself?

Yes. The replacement takes a few minutes — remove the old filter element from the intake housing and slot in the new one. No tools required beyond what is needed to access the intake.
