High-Flow BMC Air Filter Compatible with Porsche 996 & 997.1 Carrera Models (1999–2008)

Description

The BMC High Performance Air Filter for the Porsche 996 / 997 Carrera (1999–2008) is a direct-fit, washable, and reusable intake filter engineered to replace the restrictive paper stock unit with a high-flow performance alternative. Using BMC’s specialized multi-layer cotton gauze media, this filter boosts airflow into the engine while still delivering excellent particle filtration — resulting in stronger throttle response, improved mid-range power, and enhanced engine sound character. Designed specifically for the 996’s intake housing and mass airflow calibration, it installs easily and maintains an OEM-like seal while allowing your flat-six to breathe more freely. Whether you’re cruising, carving canyons, or prepping a performance build, the BMC filter is a cost-effective way to improve intake efficiency and long-term engine protection.
