Air Filters

Air filters are primarily designed to enhance airflow and allow the vehicle’s engine to breathe more efficiently. They also carry out a filtration process that helps prevent dirt, dust, pollen and other particles from getting onto your vehicle’s engine. 

They also come with several benefits such as better fuel economy and reduced emissions, since a restricted airflow can lead to poor combustion and unburnt hydrocarbons.

Choosing a high-flow air filter can have many benefits such as an improved throttle response. This is due to the fact that the engine reacts more quickly when there is a quicker airflow. 

For those who enjoy high-performance, a high quality air filter can also leave you with better results, especially when paired with a turbocharger. Better air flow results in your engine working quicker, giving you enhanced performance. 

We have a wide selection of air filters available that each have different features. Let’s take a look at the different types we have to offer: 

• Panel Air Filters - Designed with stainless steel mesh and a triple layer of open cell polyurethane foam, the panel air filters are ideal for drivers seeking enhanced airflow and a reliable engine protection. 
• Foam Air Filters - A cost-effective upgrade for a more economical and cleaner car engine, the cylindrical shapes of these foam filters provide a clear space for more airflow to the engine.
• Adapted Air Filters - These adapted air filters are designed with a multilayered oil cotton gauze that trap impurities such as dust and allergens. They’re “adapted” as they’ve been shaped and sized to match with your car’s manufactured airbox contours, so they’ll be a perfect fit. 

Intake kits are available in both Open and closed filter options as well as a number of finish options.

Open kits give more induction noise but CAN result in more warm air being drawn into the engine. Whilst closed kits give less induction noise but allow colder air intake.

Choosing the right kit is often down to personal preference of noise, finish and performance. In some cases like the APR system for the Audi RS3 and TTRS the sheer size of the open filter gives so much more flow that it overcomes the intake temperature increase and makes more power anyway. 

It can often be a trade off between the available space to draw cold air from and the increase of temperature with the extra flow. If you’re unsure which route you’d like to go down, our experts are here to help.
