The PX500 system is based around a smart aluminium baseplate, which is tailored for each application. Versions for the Honda Fireblade and Blackbird engines are available, as well as the Suzuki Hyabusa and both 1000 and 600 GSXR powerplants. Blank plates are also available for tuners needing to create a bespoke application.

For those looking for optimum surface area and where space isn’t an issue, the ‘box’ filter offers a neat and hugely effective method of induction. Its increased height also allows the use of velocity stacks, where appropriate. Also available is the low profile ‘domed’ filter, which is ideal where space is at a premium, for example, when carbs or throttle bodies end up being close to the bonnet or bodywork. The filters affix to the base plates with Dzus fasteners, which allow for rapid removal and replacement and can be ordered in either ‘race’ or ‘off road’ foam specifications, as well as a variety of heights to cope with differing induction set-ups.

All filters use Pipercross’ unique multi-layered foam construction, which means not only means a higher rate of flow, but also that, compared to even the leading cotton-gauze replacements, Pipercross foam filters can go for up to three times longer before needing any servicing or cleaning. This can be done indefinitely for the life of the filter. Little wonder then that most of the front three rows of the BTCC grid will run Pipercross filtration this season.

Prices start at just £69.99 for the box or domed elements, with the modular baseplate costing £29.99.. All prices exclude VAT.

The first of many enhancements to roll out of Forge’s Gloucestershire factory is this superbly engineered induction kit for the 1.6 Turbo variant. Featuring a custom-wound silicone induction hose and a high quality, non-oiled cotton gauze cone filter, the kit offers a proven gain over the restrictive factory box and filter. Thanks to the filter itself having a much higher flow rate than the restrictive OEM paper element, coupled with the carefully sculpted and smoothed airways of the hose, dyno gains of 6 bhp over the stock airbox have been recorded on an independent dyno. Naturally, tuned or remapped vehicles can expect to see higher gains still.

As enthusiasts have come to expect from Forge, the kit contains everything needed for a quick and easy fitment, including high-quality stainless steel clamps and clear, concise instructions.

So, with proven dyno gains, even on a standard car – and the promise of more for those looking to tune further, the Forge DS3 induction kit must be a de rigeur fitment at just £164.27 + VAT.

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. The kits come complete with a can of cleaning spray to keep the filters in tip-top condition and thanks to a lifetime warranty, it makes huge financial sense, especially when you factor in the reasonable £139.99 +VAT price tag. Best of all, each kit is lovingly hand-crafted in Pipercross’ UK factory.

The Pipercross R8 filter kit provides a subtle induction ‘roar’ combined with a genuine airflow improvement, making it an essential enhancement for anyone running a V8 R8. Even if you’re not, with over 3,000 models covered in the range, there’s a good chance they have one to enhance and protect your engine.

The Northamptonshire based firm will now provide a range of bespoke panel filters for IM’s new ‘Pro-R’ Subaru tuning range as well as a range of high-performance filters for the new Isuzu ‘Pro-Fit’ portfolio. In both cases, Pipercross has manufactured filters precisely to IM’s exacting requirements. For example, on the Subaru models, a custom multi-layer  ‘dry’ foam was chosen, which filters down to a much finer rate than the factory paper filter, whilst flowing significantly more air. This means that for both brands, the new Pipercross filters can be fitted from new, without infringing the manufacturer’s vehicle warranty.

Commenting on the new partnership, Pipercross general manager, James Pearman said, ‘We’re absolutely delighted to be a part of the growing success of these two iconic brands. The demands of both of these marques reflect their standing within the industry, and understandably, IM really put us through the wringer when it came to proving what these filters can do. We relish working with manufacturers and importers as it helps us to push the boundaries of quality and fitment, which we can then transfer to our road car range.’

The new filters will be available from all Subaru and Isuzu franchised dealers.

The gains begin with a large cylindrical, triple layer filter. Not only does this boast considerably more surface area than the OEM part, but also, thanks to Pipercross’ unique foam construction, can filter down to a much finer rate than the factory paper unit.. all this, despite flowing at a far greater rate and being far less susceptible to dust and dirt loading.

A smart aluminium shield keeps the filter well away from underbonnet heat and channels ice cold air from the front of the car directly into the filter body, helping to further improve the efficiency of the system.

A hand-wrapped bespoke SamcoSport hose has been designed to provide a perfectly smooth airflow path from the filter neck into the induction system. This drops from 88.5mm to 80mm diameter to fit as per factory, and utilises the factory MAF housing to ensure that the ECU receives all salient data. The whole kit takes around an hour to fit.

Although the system has been designed to fit directly onto the factory corrugated intake hose, drivers looking to really get the most from the induction set-up can also opt for the Stage 2 pipe which goes directly back to the turbo. The new pipe is made of lightweight mandrel bent aluminium, painted with a black crackle finish to give it a decidedly OEM appearance. Unlike other upgraded carbon intake pipes it has a smooth internal profile which improves the passage of air, increasing the flow rate. Being fully interchangeable, the pipe can be fitted to the standard OE airbox or be used as part of a kit.

Pipercross has conducted extensive flow-testing on both components to evaluate potential gains. The stage 2 pipe flows a proven 27% increase over the OEM part, whilst the entire system averaged an astonishing 45% airflow improvement over the original, highlighting just how restrictive it is.

The Stage 2 pipe retails at a price of just £80 + VAT, making it one of the cheapest ways to increase your GTi’s performance. The entire kit as shown in the picture retails at £299 + VAT.

The Pipercross filter has been designed up to a desired quality, rather than down to a designated price. Flowing over 30% more air than the factory part, this beautifully made filter can make significant improvements in power, torque and driveability and comes with a full lifetime warranty to give decades of faithful service. A beautiful design detail is the fully radiused spun aluminium base, allowing for a cleaner, more efficient flow of air into the engine, maximising torque and throttle response.

The unique multi-layered foam construction not only means a higher rate of flow, it also mean that, compared to even the leading cotton-gauze replacements, Pipercross foam filters can go for up to three times longer before needing any servicing or cleaning. This can be done indefinitely for the life of the filter.

The unit, Part Number PX1806, retails at just £71.99 including VAT and is the perfect first upgrade for any cherished S4 or S5. For more details on the 3,000 vehicles covered by the Pipercross range, please visit www.pipercross.com or call the team on 01604 707750.

The Munich masterpieces share the same filter arrangement, meaning that this hand-made upgrade can be fitted to any car with either displacement. As it leaves the entire factory air box untouched, it’s also a warranty and insurance-friendly improvement that enhances that character and performance of the car, without spoiling it.

Both of these engines boast more than respectable performance figures from the factory, but really respond well to breathing modifications, with a panel filter and exhaust upgrade often being the first improvements that owners make. The Pipercross filter is designed to be an exact replacement for the rather asthmatic factory paper filter and uses multiple foam layers to allow up to 30% more air-flow through to the engine, improving power, torque and drivability over the stock set-up. Best of all, it’s made here in good old Blighty!

As well as increased flow rate, thanks to its unique (and patented) multi-laminated open cell polyurethane foam construction, the Pipercross upgrade can actually filter down to a much finer rate than the OEM part, preventing any foreign particles from entering the induction tract, meaning even greater protection for the  BMW’s 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, despite these impressive abilities, the Pipercross filter comes with a lifetime warranty and can be easily cleaned again and again for re-use, providing decades of faithful service and paying for itself many times over.

The price is a very reasonable £44.25. Bearing in mind that it’s the only one you’ll ever need – what are you waiting for?

The science behind this improved air-flow is the carefully selected multilayered foam used in the filters construction, offering 30% more air-flow than even the most efficient of OEM filters. The ingenious multi-layer design also filters down to a far finer rate, protecting the engine against damage and prolonging its serviceable life. Ideal for road-going cars, but absolutely essential for off-road machinery. Pipercross foam filters have been proven to flow stronger for longer in dusty environments than cotton gauze equivalents, too. Hence the reason that they are the choice of so many race teams.

These can be easily serviced at the appropriate intervals with Pipercross cleaning spray to keep the filter in tip-top condition. Thanks to a lifetime warranty, these filter makes huge financial sense – especially when you factor in the reasonable £34.85 price tag. Best of all, like the Land Rover itself, each filter is lovingly hand-crafted here in the UK.

As superb first upgrade to any TD4 Land Rover, it’s a modification you can undertake with your heart and your head. Even if you’re not running a TD4, with over 3,000 models covered in the range, there’s a good chance they have one to enhance and protect your engine.

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!
