Talking Extreme Power House | PIPERCROSS FILTERS Now Available!







Features
  • Increased Power
  • Lifetime Warranty
  • Improved Fuel economy
  • Direct replacement
  • 30% less restrictive that your OE filter

Unlike their competition, Pipercross have adopted multi layered foam technology for their air filters as opposed to cotton or paper. Why? Because foam has a larger capacity for filtration over cotton or paper. In road use terms this means that a Pipercross filter will flow stronger for longer and maintain peak power output of the vehicle over a cotton or paper counterpart. Whilst the cotton or paper filters begin to restrict airflow due to being thinly stretched over a V shaped wire frame the Pipercross with multi layer technology will continue to perform.

The low maintenance and long lifespan aspects of a Pipercross filter come from the special triple layer foam that is used on all Pipercross filters. The outer core is coarse foam designed to trap larger particles, the middle core is Medium foam designed to trap most particles and the inner core is fine foam which will trap the remainder of the particles. The triple layer foam design ensures an exceptional level of engine protection in any conditions.

How will a Pipercross panel filter benefit you?
  • Directly replaces the air filter in your airbox
  • 30% more airflow over a standard paper air filter
  • Longer lifespan before cleaning required over cotton
  • Easy cleaning, no dirt caught like with V shaped filter grooves
  • Bench tested for improved fuel economy, power and torque outputs
  • Lifetime warranty on all replacement and performance road use filters



Why are Pipercross foam filters better than the competition?
Pipercross, based in the UK home of motorsport have over 25 years of road and track racing experience when it comes to filtration. Through this experience and engineering only the highest quality is achieved which is passed onto you through more power, torque, fuel economy & throttle response. Why settle for lesser filter brands which only have road experience when you can have quality proven on the track?

Below are just some of the Pipercross sponsored winning teams.
  • British Touring Car Championship: Airwaves Racing
  • British Drift Championship: Team Falken, Acorn Motorsport
  • Irish Drift Championship: Team Falken James Deane and Alan Sinnot
  • European Drift Championship: Dmitriy Illyuk - Monster Energy and NC Drifting
  • World Rallycross: Liam Doran Monster Energy
  • Time Attack: Eurospec, DAR and Bo Nielson



How is a Pipercross air filter manufactured?
All Pipercross air filters are manufactured right here in the UK. At the Northamptonshire headquarters and manufacturing facility all filters are hand made carefully to ensure you are always receiving the best quality today on the automotive aftermarket. Pipercross pride themselves on being British manufactured and will never outsource for cheaper or lesser quality processes. Watch the video below to see how a Pipercross air filter is made!

Hey Mike,

How would these compare to the AFE Magnum Flow drop in filters (specifically the Pro Dry S)?

It should flow better and have a longer lifespan.

Would be great to have someone put together a flow comparison for stock, K&N, AFE, and this new drop in air filter.

No flow rate or filter test comparisons by them or an independent testing organization, therefore difficult to determine effectiveness or validity of claims. More Marketing without meat. Seems to be the norm these days.

I've only read AFE claiming 33% more flow over stock, so Pipercross claiming around 30% would be 2nd in that comparison.

If this will fit an F25 X3, I'd happily test & log it against the BMS filter & stock airbox.

I just ordered a pipercross from mike's XPH website. I'll give a nonbiased review when it's in. My 2015 335i RWD Auto is 100% stock.

Pipercross filters are foam, which break apart over time. They are absolutely garbage.

Mine literally started falling apart and a piece of foam got lodged in my MAF. Who knows how much made it through the engine... I won't touch one of these again.

"flows better" means "filters less"

The only way to increase flow without sacrificing it's ability to filter out particles is to increase the surface area. This isn't that.
