Unlock Peak Performance
Say goodbye to your restrictive factory airbox and paper filter. The PK398 system delivers maximum airflow to your engine, resulting in:
- More Horsepower & Faster Acceleration: You’ll notice a significant boost in your car’s power output and responsiveness.

Precision-Engineered for Quality
With over 40 years of expertise in high-performance air filtration, Pipercross has built the PK398 system with top-tier components:
- High-Flow Foam Filter: Our multi-density polyurethane foam filter allows up to 30% more air passage than traditional paper filters. It’s also durable, washable, and reusable for a lifetime of performance.
- Bespoke Heat Shield: A specially designed aluminium heat shield keeps engine bay heat away from the filter, ensuring a consistent supply of cooler, denser air for optimal combustion.
- Optimised Aluminium Intake Pipe: This large-volume pipe ensures smooth, direct airflow for enhanced performance.
- Durable Silicone Couplers: High-quality, multi-layer silicone couplers provide a secure, leak-free connection.
- Made in the UK: Designed, tested, and produced in the UK, guaranteeing uncompromising quality and adherence to rigorous standards.

The PK398 kit is designed for a straightforward, plug-and-play installation, directly replacing your original airbox. Plus, the reusable foam filter only needs cleaning and re-oiling every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometres, saving you money and reducing waste in the long run.
