Pipercross launches Renault Megane RS250 Performance Panel Filter

Renault seems to be unstoppable at the moment, creating a veritable string of smash-hit hot hatches that are able to delight both critics and punters alike. The latest RS250 version is typical of their return to form, and bound to be picked up by the tuning fraternity. Good news then that induction expert Pipercross has released a new high-flowing panel filter for the galloping Gaul.

Owners of any of these cars can improve the breathing of their engine thanks to this new, direct replacement panel filter, which drops straight into the factory airbox. The dry, triple layer foam used draws heavily on Pipercross’ BTCC experience, as the firm supplies almost every leading team on the grid for the current season.

Although designed with performance in mind, a useful by-product of this optimised induction is that, in most cases, fuel efficiency is often improved too, adding the Renault’s already excellent reputation for fast frugality.

In addition to the vastly improved surface area, carefully selected multilayered foam within the unit offers 30% more air-flow than even the most efficient of OEM filters. As well as providing a far better rate of flow, the ingenious multi-layer design also filters down to a far finer rate, protecting the engine against damage. With a comprehensive lifetime warranty it makes huge financial sense, especially when you factor in the reasonable £29.99 +VAT price tag. Best of all, each kit is lovingly hand-crafted in Pipercross’ UK factory.

The Pipercross filter kit provides a subtle induction ‘roar’ combined with a genuine airflow improvement, making it an essential enhancement for anyone running a rapid Renault. Whichever car you run, with over 3,000 models covered in the range, there’s a good chance they have one to enhance and protect your engine.
