This filter replaces the original intake air element and fits directly into the factory airbox on compatible 987 models. Always verify fitment by model year, engine type, and intake configuration prior to purchase to ensure correct compatibility.

The primary function of the engine air filter is to clean incoming air before it enters the engine for combustion. Clean air intake helps protect internal engine components - including pistons, valves, and cylinder walls - from abrasive debris that can cause premature wear or damage. By effectively filtering intake air while still permitting proper airflow, this OE Match filter supports:
•   Protective filtration: Traps airborne contaminants before they reach the engine
•   Optimised airflow: Helps maintain consistent air supply for efficient combustion
•   Stable performance: Promotes smooth throttle response and power delivery
•   Engine durability: Helps reduce internal component wear over time.

Replacing an aged or clogged filter with an OE Match unit restores proper airflow and filtration - helping your Porsche maintain reliable performance and engine health.

Engine air filters are considered wear items - they trap airborne particles over time, which gradually reduces airflow. A dirty or clogged filter can cause:
•  Reduced engine responsiveness
•  Higher fuel consumption
•  Restricted intake airflow under load
•  Greater wear on internal engine parts.

Installing a fresh engine air filter helps restore clean air delivery to the engine and supports consistent performance, smooth combustion, and long-term reliability.

Replace the air filter if any of the following apply:
•  Visible dust, dirt, or discoloration of the filter element
•  Reduced throttle response or sluggish acceleration
•  Higher than normal fuel consumption
•  Scheduled service interval reached
•  Driving frequently in dusty, polluted, or high-particle environments.

Routine inspection and timely replacement help sustain optimal engine performance and protection.
