Product Description
The APR Intake System Cover is an optional accessory designed for owners who want to convert their APR open intake into a closed configuration. Its molded plastic construction and OEM-style appearance create a clean, integrated finish that complements the Volkswagen engine bay.
Additional airflow paths are incorporated into the cover to help the intake draw more air during higher-power operation while allowing more turbocharger sound to remain audible. This provides the enclosed appearance many owners prefer without completely isolating the intake from additional airflow and induction sound.
The cover installs directly onto the compatible APR Intake System and snaps securely into place without tools. It can also be removed easily, allowing owners to switch between open and closed intake configurations when desired.
Best For: Volkswagen MK8/MK8.5 GTI owners with an APR Intake System who want a closed intake configuration and a clean OEM-style engine bay appearance.
Why Choose the APR Intake System Cover?
