APR Open PEX Intake System - VW / 1.4T / Mk7.5 / Golf / SportwagenThe APR Open PEX Intake System is the best dollar per horsepower intake system for the 1. 4T Engine! We've maximized performance and sound dramatically by removing flow restrictors, reducing pressure drop and increasing airflow. This translates to more horsepower and torque, and less physical strain on the turbocharger. The system looks great, sounds amazing, and produces more horsepower and torque you can feel. Our Open PEX Intake System does away


The APR Open PEX Intake System is the best dollar-per-horsepower intake system for the 1.4T Engine! We've maximized performance and sound dramatically by removing flow restrictors, reducing pressure drop and increasing airflow. This translates to more horsepower and torque, and less physical strain on the turbocharger. The system looks great, sounds amazing, and produces more horsepower and torque you can feel. Our Open PEX Intake System does away with the closed airbox design and uses a massive 7" washable and reusable cotton filter with a frontal inlet and 4" rear outlet. This was necessary to limit pressure drop across the factory system and maximize airflow, while allowing you to fully hear the engine breathe! The massive filter provides excellent filtration. By oversizing the filter, we're able to limit pressure drop without sacrificing filtration. This is made possible through the use of greatly increased filter surface area. The PEX material give the intake an OEM feel and it allows us to make a complex and organic heat shield shape that keeps hot air pushed through the frontal radiator away from the intake tract. Lastly, PEX retains heat less than other materials, such as metal, making it ideal for performance.

Flow Bench and Dyno Testing

The factory intake system simply can't match the performance of our intake system. The factory frontal airbox only flows 509 CFM at 28" of H2O. We improved this by up to 44% with our open airbox across the testing range and hit a peak flow of 730 CFM by at the same depression! This directly translates to more power you can feel. Our 1.4T test vehicle saw an additional and 11 WFT-LBS of torque and 8 WHP compared to stock! These are solid gains that make a noticeable difference in performance!


Features:

  • Improved performance: +11 FT-LBS and +8 HP at the wheels!
  • Massive flow improvement: +44% CFM gain over stock with up to 730 CFM @ 28 in.H2O
  • Optimized throttle response, reduced pressure drop, and decreased turbocharger strain
  • Intoxicating engine sound through the large 7” reusable cotton filter
  • High heat deflection PEX construction with less heat retention compared to metal systems
  • Plug-and-play design installs in minutes and doesn’t impact emissions

The Perfect Tool - Life is Short So Just Buy It.
Size: 88mm x 15
So. Life is too short to struggle with little demons and other inconveniences. I change oil in all my cars, trucks, and SUVs. One of my cars is a V6 Hyundai and the filter cartridge is inside a housing that is sometimes more than a tad inconvenient to loosen and screw back in place. My regular filter removal tools including strap style as well as a three arm gripper type just did not perform very well. I saw this thing, ordered it, and man...it is perfect. The metal top allows a wrench ( spanner) or a socket wrench to be used. I have a fancy Snapon torque wrench which I can also use just to be fancy. In any case removing and re-securing the filter housing on the Hyundai V6 is now a breeze. The cap wrench itself is solid and very well constructed Five stars and count me in as impressed. Well done CTA Tools !!!

Good fit and easy filter removal
Size: 88.5mm x 16
Purchased this for my 2022 Volvo XC60 PHEV. Used up all my 'free' dealer oil changes and not ready to drop hundreds on a simple operation. Removal of the oil filter housing on this car would be nearly impossible without this tool due to its location. With it the process was simple. On a side note, the dealership 'pros' stripped every one of the plastic splash guard nuts. Obviously in a hurry with a power tool. They also did not change out the smaller o ring included with the filter. It's a pain to remove and mine was hardened and likely original. Anyway, placed this tool in drawer with the rest of my oil wrench collection.

Perfect fit on an AMSOIL Oil Filter EA15K51n
Size: 76mm x 14
This is a very well made oil filter wrench and while some are complaining about no exterior weld on the drive nut, if you look inside the weld is very plain to see and appears to be CNC welded so it's perfect and quite strong. I like the finish of the wrench, it's easy to wipe off and if there is oil or debris anywhere on it, you'll be able to spot it immediately and wipe the part off to insure a nice, clean installation.
