Pipercross Porsche Boxster/Cayman panel filter

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman are two of the most affordable and entertaining cars ever created – particularly in second generation 987 guise. Both respond well to a little sympathetic tuning, especially when it comes to enhancing breathing capability. Good news then that induction expert Pipercross has released a new high-flowing panel filter for both versions of the Teutonic track star.

Owners of any of these cars can improve the breathing capability 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 marginally improved too, adding the Porsche’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 £49.99 (including VAT) price tag. Best of all, each kit is lovingly hand-crafted in Pipercross’ UK factory.

The Pipercross filter kit provides a subtle and welcome increase induction note combined with a genuine airflow improvement, making it an essential enhancement for anyone running a Cayman or Boxster. 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.
