Performance Air Filter for Porsche 911 G2 GT3 Turbo 996 (2001-2011)

Maximize Induction Efficiency for the Porsche 911 Mezger Flat-Six

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Porsche 911 (996 and 997) owners running the legendary Mezger Flat-Six and high-performance 3.8L GT3 engines. Whether you are hitting the apex at a track day or cruising the canyon, this is for the driver who demands better throttle response without sacrificing filtration.

The Problem: The Mezger Flat-Six is a masterpiece of engineering, but the factory-installed paper air filter is a major bottleneck. These stock filters are designed for long service intervals and cost-cutting, not peak volumetric efficiency. In high-heat environments or under heavy boost, the OEM paper can become a restriction, hindering the engine’s ability to breathe and ultimately robbing you of power and turbo spool-up time.

The Solution: We utilize BMC’s race-proven cotton gauze technology to correct the factory limitations of the Mezger Flat-Six. By switching to a multi-layered oiled cotton media, we increase air volume while improving filtration down to 7 microns. This ensures your intake stays clean while providing the low-pressure drop required for maximum performance.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Airflow: High-permeability cotton gauze allows a significantly higher volume of air to reach the intake manifold compared to dense OEM paper.
• Race-Grade Durability: Constructed using a "Full Moulding" system, creating a single-piece filter without welded joints to prevent cracking or failure under high-vibration track use.
• Washable & Reusable: Unlike disposable filters, this unit is fully regenerable. Simply wash and re-oil to maintain peak performance for the life of the vehicle.
