Anybody using an AFE Dry Air Filter?
 

Hello,

Pretty soon I am supposed to receive a well cared for 1999 Porsche Boxter. I was thinking of getting an AFE dry air filter. Anybody use one of these? I know and don't expect any big power, just want a little bit more intake noise when accelerating. Safe or not worth the risk? Just going to ad some budget mods for this car. Thx. Gerald. :)

I tried one maybe 4 or 5 years ago. It was slightly thicker than the OEM filter and there was no way it was going to slide into the airbox. Matter of fact I ended up breaking the tray the filter sits in. Bought a new tray and decided it wasn't worth the effort so I just stuck the OEM filter back in. Perhaps they've redesigned it by now? If you get one, let us know how it fits.

I have an AFE dry filter in my 98 Boxster. I bought it more for convenience than performance or increased intake noise.

To be honest I don't really notice an increase in intake noise. Getting performance increase from an air filter is a myth in my humble opinion. Also when you clean it be sure it's dry. If it's at all damp your motor will let you know.

More intake noise=desnorkel.
It's a glorious sound!

I'm using in my 2000 Boxster. I had no trouble installing the filter. High quality and seems to breathe better than stock. Primary benefit is a quality, cleanable and reusable air filter.

On my 99 I just desnorkeled & put in a K&N.....Sounds great.

I have a aFe filter, and I removed it to clean it, however, I oiled it with my K&N oil and cleaner kit. I did not realize that it was a dry filter. Do you think I have done harm to it? Should I remove it and wash off the K&N oil?

The oil from the filter will damage your MAF sensor.
Using any thing other than a dry type oil filter destroys MAF sensors.

I’m using Injen SuperNano Web Dry Cone Air Filter and Protective Cover Dustproof for High Flow Air Intake Filters :cheers:

Best thing I ever did, was when I removed the stock air filter housing and air intake muffler. Then I modified myself the air flow housing for dry cone air filter. Also stock exhaust had to go for Borla S. No need to replace catalytics. Car is like a flying jet

Let it breathe! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5a1f26b81d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a096732baf.jpg
