Description
Designed for maximum airflow and motorsport-grade performance, the Forge Motorsport Carbon Air Filter Canister features a 102mm outer diameter inlet and outlet, and is equipped with a high-flow Pipercross multilayer foam filter. This component is engineered to meet the demands of high-performance engines, offering superior filtration and airflow efficiency while maintaining low intake temperatures through a lightweight carbon fiber composite shell.
Originally featured in performance intake systems such as the FMIND5R32 for the VW Golf Mk5 R32 and the FMINDTTS for the Audi TTS, this canister is now available as a standalone component for custom induction setups.
The Pipercross filter media is developed exclusively for Forge Motorsport and features multilayer foam technology proven in top-tier motorsport environments, including the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Its advanced construction provides excellent dirt-holding capacity without sacrificing airflow, making it ideal for both track and street applications.
Please note, the Pipercross filter included is not covered by the Forge lifetime warranty.
Installation Note:
Ensure the hose clamp securing the filter is not overtightened. The recommended torque setting is no more than 3 Nm to prevent damage to the carbon housing.
