Product Description

The BMC Performance Air Filter (SKU FB473‑04) is a high‑flow engine air filter designed as a drop‑in replacement for the factory paper filter on select Porsche 911 997 Turbo, GT2, and GT3 RS models. Utilizing advanced multi‑layer cotton gauze and a low‑restriction design, this performance filter improves airflow into the intake while still providing robust filtration to protect your engine from contaminants. The result is smoother throttle response and potential for maintained peak power — especially beneficial for tuned vehicles or those driven hard — with the added advantage that the filter is washable, reusable, and serviceable.

Fitment Notes

  • Designed to fit the Porsche 911 997 Turbo (3.6 L) and Turbo Cabriolet (2006–2009).

  • Also fits Porsche 911 GT2 (3.6 L, 2007–2009) and 997‑generation GT3 RS (3.8 L, 2009–2011).

  • Replaces the OEM panel air filter in the stock airbox location; retains full compatibility with OEM intake hardware.

  • Does not require any modification — slip‑in/OEM fitment for compatible models.

Included

  • One BMC high‑flow performance panel air filter (FB473‑04).

  • Pre‑oiled, washable filter media ready for installation.

  • Packaging and basic fitment reference information.

Product Specs

  • Filter Type: Multi‑layer oiled cotton gauze with alloy mesh support.

  • Construction: One‑piece “Full Moulding” (no welded corners) for strength and durability.

  • Washable & Reusable: Designed to be cleaned and re‑oiled with a compatible service kit.

  • Dimensions: OEM equivalent panel filter size to match stock airbox; exact measurements vary by model (approximately 187 mm × 631 mm).

  • Filtration Rating: Captures impurities as small as ~7 microns while promoting airflow.

  • OEM Part Cross‑Reference: Crosses to standard Porsche filter part numbers for 997 applications (e.g., 99711013174/73).

Product Features

  • High‑flow performance design increases airflow versus stock paper filters without sacrificing filtration efficiency.

  • Washable, reusable construction reduces long‑term ownership cost compared to disposable filters.

  • Advanced cotton gauze media with epoxy coated alloy mesh for consistent protection under varied conditions.

  • Improved throttle response and engine breathing — beneficial on tuned engines or higher‑power builds.

  • Long life performance with proper maintenance and periodic cleaning
