Description
Unleash the full potential of your Infiniti Q50 or Q60 equipped with the VR30DDTT engine using the AMS Performance Red Alpha Cold Air Intake Kit. Developed entirely in-house by the AMS SnailWorks® Engineering Team, this system represents the pinnacle of precision engineering and performance innovation. It is also the only intake system selected by INFINITI USA for inclusion in their official Motorsports Catalog, underscoring its unmatched quality and proven results.
Designed to provide true cold air to your twin-turbocharged engine, the Red Alpha Intake features fully sealed intake boxes, integrated bell horn dry media filters, and wire-reinforced silicone couplers. The result is maximum airflow, reduced turbulence, and consistent, reliable power gains — all without triggering a check engine light or requiring a tune.
Key Features and Benefits

Official INFINITI Motorsports Catalog Selection: Chosen by INFINITI USA as the premier intake solution for the VR30 platform.
Engineering Excellence
The AMS Performance Red Alpha Cold Air Intake Kit was designed through a focused engineering approach. Every component, from the air boxes to the silicone couplers, was optimized for efficiency, durability, and precision fitment.
Sealed Air Boxes:
The dual intake boxes were engineered to completely isolate incoming air from the heat of the engine bay. They align perfectly with the factory intake cowls, channeling fresh ambient air directly into the filters. By maintaining low intake air temperatures, the system ensures consistent horsepower and torque gains across varied driving conditions.
Bell Horn Dry Media Filters:
Unlike conventional filters, AMS designed an integrated bell horn at the filter’s outlet to create a smooth transition into the MAF housing. This reduces turbulence, enhances laminar flow, and improves mass air sensor stability. The result is reliable drivability and smooth acceleration, even under full boost.
Reinforced Silicone Couplers:
The Red Alpha intake couplers are crafted from wire-reinforced silicone to resist deformation under high vacuum and boost conditions. This ensures a constant cross-sectional area and uninterrupted airflow to the VR30’s twin Garrett turbochargers.
Every aspect of this system was designed for performance, reliability, and ease of installation. The result is a cold air intake that not only adds power but also enhances the driving experience through improved throttle response and turbo efficiency.
Performance You Can Feel
On both stock and AMS custom ECU tunes, the Red Alpha Cold Air Intake Kit has shown consistent, repeatable gains in horsepower and torque. Dyno testing confirms an average increase of +17 wheel horsepower over stock, with improved throttle response and turbo spool characteristics.
These gains are achieved without any compromise to drivability or reliability, making the Red Alpha Intake Kit the best all-around performance upgrade for the Infiniti Q50 and Q60 VR30 platforms.
