Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this filter increase intake noise?

No, because it fits within the factory airbox, it does not significantly change the intake sound.

How often should I clean the filter?

Maintenance intervals depend on driving conditions, but inspecting it every 5,000 to 10,000 miles is recommended.

Do I need to tune my car after installing this filter?

No, the PP1217 is designed to work within the parameters of the factory ECU without requiring a remap.

Can I use compressed air to clean it?

No, compressed air can damage the delicate foam structure and reduce its filtration efficiency.

Does this filter come pre-oiled?

Most Pipercross replacement filters come pre-oiled and ready to install right out of the box.

Troubleshooting

Engine feels hesitant or sluggish after long-term use

The filter is likely saturated with debris; remove and clean the foam element using a specific Pipercross cleaning solution.

Filter does not fit snugly in the airbox

Ensure that all debris has been cleared from the bottom of the airbox tray and that the filter's rubber seal is correctly aligned with the box edges.

Visible dirt on the clean side of the filter

Check the filter for physical tears in the foam or ensure it is seated properly; if the foam is damaged, it must be replaced.

Pros and Cons

  • Lifetime warranty and reusable design reduces long-term costs
  • Simple drop-in installation with no tools required
  • Maintains standard intake sound levels
  • Superior dirt retention capabilities compared to paper

Cons

  • Requires periodic cleaning and re-oiling
  • Initial cost is higher than a standard disposable paper filter

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Pipercross PP1217 is designed for a seamless, 'drop-in' installation. To install, simply unclip the factory airbox housing, remove the existing paper filter, and place the Pipercross element into the tray, ensuring a snug seal around the edges before closing the box.

To ensure optimal performance, inspect the filter during your regular oil changes. If the filter appears dark or clogged, remove it and use the designated Pipercross cleaning kit. Always ensure the filter is completely dry and lightly re-oiled according to the manufacturer's instructions before reinstalling. Never use high-pressure air to clean the foam, as this can cause structural damage.
