Performance Air Filter Panel Replacement 182mm x 307mm

High-Flow Filtration for VW VR6 and Audi 5-Cylinder Classic Platforms

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for enthusiasts running the legendary VW VR6 and Audi Inline-5 engine families who demand better volumetric efficiency without modifying the factory airbox.

The Problem: The original paper filters found in the VW VR6 and vintage Audi 100/A6 platforms are built for maximum sound suppression and 10-micron filtration at the expense of airflow. As these engines age, maintaining a high volume of clean air is critical for preventing power loss. Stock paper elements are prone to clogging and restriction, which can hamper the high-end response these German engines are known for.

The Solution: We utilize BMC’s "Full Moulding" technology to create a single-piece filter that drops directly into the OEM housing. By using multi-layered cotton gauze soaked in low-viscosity oil, we’ve increased filtration efficiency down to 7 microns while significantly reducing pressure drop. This ensures your VW VR6 or turbocharged Audi receives a steady, laminar flow of air for improved throttle response and long-term protection.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Precision Filtration: Captures impurities as small as 7 microns, outperforming the standard 10-micron OEM paper specification for superior engine protection.
• Full Moulding Construction: Produced from a single mould with no welded joints, eliminating the risk of breakage or air bypassing the filter media.
• Regenerable Media: Unlike disposable paper filters, this cotton and epoxy-coated alloy mesh design can be washed and re-oiled using a BMC regeneration kit for a lifetime of use.
