This high-performance air filter for McLaren M838T applications and related models replaces the restrictive factory paper filter with a washable, multi-layer cotton-gauze element that dramatically improves air flow to the turbocharged V8. The result is sharper throttle response, more consistent engine breathing under load, and a slightly more aggressive induction tone — all with the protection and filtration needed for daily driving or spirited use. It’s a simple, bolt-in upgrade that gives immediate return on airflow and responsiveness without complicated modifications.
Compatible with McLaren MP4-12C, 570S, 570GT, 540C, 600LT, 650S, 675LT
Direct drop-in replacement for factory airbox — no custom modifications, cutting, or fabrication required.
Two high-flow air filter elements (pre-oiled and ready for install).
Rubber sealing frame designed to match factory airbox geometry and ensure proper sealing.
Filter media: Multi-layer cotton gauze with protective mesh to resist fuel vapors and humidity, offering high flow while trapping fine particles (~ 7 microns or finer).
Filtration efficiency: High — designed to stop fine particulates while allowing far greater airflow than stock paper filters.
Air flow improvement: Up to ~ 40% more airflow compared to OEM paper filters — enabling better turbo breathing and intake responsiveness.
Maintenance: Washable and re-oilable — reusable for the lifetime of the vehicle, reducing waste and long-term maintenance costs.
Enhanced Airflow & Intake Efficiency — Freer-flowing cotton-gauze media lets more air reach the turbochargers, helping the turbos breathe easier under boost.
Improved Throttle Response & Engine Feel — The boost in airflow and reduction in intake restriction can yield crisper throttle response and more immediate power delivery.
Reusable & Maintenance-Friendly — Washable and re-oilable design means the filter serves for many years without the need for repeated replacements.
OEM-Compatible Fitment — Designed as a direct drop-in replacement for factory airbox — easy install, no modifications required.
Balanced Filtration & Performance — Multi-layer cotton gauze plus mesh provides strong particle filtration (fine dust, contaminants) while still delivering high flow — a good balance for street and occasional performance use.
Cost-Effective Long-Term Upgrade — Unlike disposable filters, this upgrade pays off over time via reusability and improved engine responsiveness, especially under load or with supporting mods.
