Ramair Hyundai Bayon/I20 Performance Panel Filter

Ramair Performance Panel Air Filter – Hyundai Bayon & i20 (RPF-2168)

If you’re looking for a straightforward upgrade over your standard air filter, the Ramair RPF-2168 is a direct replacement panel filter designed to fit neatly into your existing airbox. No modifications needed – it simply swaps out the factory paper filter for a higher-flowing foam alternative, helping your engine breathe a little more freely.

Ramair are a well-regarded UK filter manufacturer with a strong background in motorsport applications, and this panel filter brings some of that know-how to everyday road cars. It’s a sensible, cost-effective upgrade rather than a dramatic transformation – but over time, a less restrictive filter can contribute to a more responsive throttle feel and, in some cases, a marginal improvement in fuel efficiency.

What Makes It Different from a Standard Paper Filter?

Your factory air filter is made from pleated paper, which does a decent job of filtering dust and debris but can restrict airflow as it loads up. Ramair’s filter uses a twin-layer reticulated foam construction – meaning the foam has an open, interconnected cell structure that allows more air to pass through while still trapping fine particles effectively. This is the same type of foam Ramair uses in their tier one motorsport filters, so it’s proven material in demanding conditions.

A stainless steel cage is bonded inside the filter to keep its shape under suction, and a custom-blended rubber polymer surround ensures a clean, secure fit within the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) airbox – the standard plastic housing your factory filter sits in.

MAF Safe – Why That Matters

This filter is confirmed MAF safe. The MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor is a sensitive component that measures the amount of air entering your engine. Some aftermarket foam filters can allow fine oil particles or debris to contaminate this sensor, causing running issues or fault codes. Ramair’s twin-layer foam design is engineered to prevent this, so you won’t need to worry about sensor damage or interference with your engine management system.

Ramair recommend using their maintenance kit (CK-003) to clean and re-condition the filter periodically, which keeps it performing at its best and makes it a more economical choice over time.
