Pipercross Performance Induction Kits replace the original restrictive paper air filter and airbox...Pipercross Performance Induction Kits replace the original restrictive paper air filter and airbox with a performance, high-flow cone style filter and necessary adaptors and pipework. Designed to replace the original airbox and element, these kits improve horsepower and acceleration, and provide a sports induction sound. The foam filters are designed to improve airflow and horsepower, offering a crisper throttle response and superior performance for improved acceleration and greater driving enjoyment. The spun aluminium base has a uniquely designed air inlet, incorporating a full radius air inlet bellmouth to allow air to pass smoothly into the engine, maximising power output. Due to the deep foam construction of each Pipercross air filter, airflow is able to negotiate trapped dirt, extending filter service intervals. By simply cleaning and re-oiling the Pipercross filter, there is less waste. Pipercross Performance Induction Systems are engineered to draw cold air directly into the engine, a key factor in unlocking peak performance. Cooler air is denser, resulting in increased oxygen levels for more efficient combustion and enhanced power. Each system is custom-designed for your vehicle, ensuring a perfect fit and optimized performance. They eliminate restrictive OEM components, allowing for smoother airflow and reduced turbulence, ultimately boosting power and throttle response. Experience a noticeable improvement in horsepower and torque across the RPM range, whether you're on the road or the track.
This guide is for drivers seeking enhanced engine performance and a sportier sound. The Pipercross Performance Induction Kit (PK306) replaces your factory air filter and airbox, offering improved horsepower and acceleration. A key consideration is that regular cleaning and re-oiling are necessary to maintain peak performance. This guide covers installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting to help you get the most out of your Pipercross kit.

FAQs
How often should I clean and re-oil the filter?
Cleaning and re-oiling frequency depends on your driving conditions. Inspect the filter every few thousand miles or more frequently if you drive in dusty environments. As a general rule, clean and re-oil at least every 6 months.
What type of cleaner and oil should I use?
Use a foam air filter cleaner and oil specifically designed for this type of filter. These products are readily available from automotive parts stores.
Can I wash the filter with water?
Yes, but ensure the filter is completely dry before re-oiling. Allow the filter to air dry naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: The PK306 kit is specifically designed to fit your vehicle model. Ensure compatibility before purchase.
Installation: Installation typically involves removing the original airbox and filter and replacing them with the Pipercross components. Follow the provided instructions carefully, or consult a professional mechanic if needed.
Maintenance: The foam filter should be cleaned and re-oiled regularly. The frequency depends on driving conditions. Inspect the filter periodically. Cleaning involves washing the filter with a filter cleaner and allowing it to dry completely before re-oiling it with filter oil. Make sure the filter is completely dry before re-oiling. Re-oil the filter evenly before reinstalling.
Care: Avoid over-oiling the filter, as this can restrict airflow. Check and tighten all connections and ensure the kit is securely mounted to prevent vibration or movement.
