Seamless Design
Our unique 1-piece airbox design offers a seamless and beautiful look without chances of air leaks, finicky installation, rubbing noises, or parts working loose over time, common with multi-peace airbox designs.
Built-in Velocity Stack
The built-in velocity stack smoothly reduces airflow from the massive 5" air filter down to the turbo inlet with excellent laminar properties. This transition creates a very high inertia flow from the huge filter with very low drag or power-robbing turbulence.
Multiple Pressure Zones
The intake takes advantage of multiple air supply avenues to support any power level. The front large air inlet receives outside high-pressure flow from the front of the grille and acts as a ram air design for most of the air supply. Additionally, the filter plate louvers pull extra required air from the low-pressure zone under the intake. These dual zones provide a free air supply across the entire filter and ensure your intake will never be a power limiter for even the most extreme builds.
Unique Sound
Your sporty SUV is equipped with a 6-cylinder turbocharged engine -sound like one!
The factory airbox is designed to mute all engine and turbo sounds. When upgrading to an IE intake system, you will instantly become addicted to the new turbocharger spool, engine throttle, and diverter valve symphony under the hood. Your SQ5 won't only pull harder, it will also sound classy, refined, and powerful.
Optional Turbo Inlet
Upgrading your intake with an IE cast turbo further removes significant airflow restrictions and maintains the largest size possible from the intake to the turbocharger. This combination increases flow from 28% (intake only) up to 57.6% over the stock intake and turbo inlet!
Turbo inlet pipe is an optional upgrade and can be purchased with your intake or added at a later date.

Precision Fit
3D scanning tools are leveraged to create a digital duplicate of the vehicle's engine bay, grille, bumper, and hood. These high-resolution scans provide a digital environment that allows our engineers to take advantage of all available space while ensuring a perfect fit.
