Filtration specialist Pipercross has released a superb new panel filter kit for the much vaunted TT flagship, the RS. The 174 mph supercar baiter really responds well to breathing modifications, and the latest Pipercross design offers improved airflow and performance, without infringing the factory warranty.
Designed as a direct replacement for the somewhat asthmatic OEM part, the Pipercross filter fits in mere seconds to the factory airbox. The patented design uses a unique multi-laminated open cell polyurethane foam construction, meaning the Pipercross panel can actually filter down to a much finer rate than the OEM part, preventing any foreign particles from entering the induction tract and protecting the engine. This same construction means that the filter can also go longer between service intervals than even leading cotton-gauze filters, before needing to be cleaned.
Best of all, with over 30% more airflow than the original part, tangible performance improvements can be felt, particularly in the engine’s mid range.
Priced at just £34.85 including VAT, it makes for a meaty TT!

As well as increased flow rate, all Pipercross filters can actually filter down to a much finer rate than factory filters, preventing any foreign particles from entering the induction tract, offering even greater protection for your engine. This same construction means that the filter can also go longer between service intervals than even leading cotton-gauze filters, before needing to be cleaned.
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. In addition to 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. The kits come complete with a can of cleaning spray to keep the filter in tip-top condition and thanks to a lifetime warranty, it makes huge financial sense, especially when you factor in the reasonable £99.99 price tag. Both 8 and 16 valve versions are catered for and best of all, each kit is lovingly hand-crafted in Pipercross’ UK factory.
