aFe Power Magnum FLOW Pro 5R Air Filter | Porsche Boxster (986) 1997-2004 H6-2.5L/2.7L | Sold Each
aFe Power Magnum FLOW OE Replacement Air Filter with Pro 5R Media is a direct drop-in panel filter for the 986 Boxster. It replaces the disposable paper element in the factory airbox and outflows it, which is about as cheap as honest airflow gets on an early Boxster.
This is the oiled filter. Pro 5R uses five layers of progressively finer mesh cotton gauze, factory-oiled — the highest-flowing drop-in media aFe makes. It is washable and reusable, but it has to be cleaned and re-oiled at service intervals with aFe's Pro 5R restore kit. Go easy on the oil: an over-oiled element can contaminate a mass airflow sensor. If you would rather skip oil entirely, the identical filter is available in dry synthetic media as Pro DRY S, part number 31-10090.
Key Benefits:
- Outflows the stock paper filter for improved horsepower and torque
- Five layers of progressively finer mesh cotton gauze media for maximum airflow
- 100% polyurethane frame on all four sides for a long service life
- Tall, open, evenly spaced pleats for dust-holding capacity between cleanings
- Integrated urethane bump seal ensures a tight, no-leak seal over the life of the filter
- Washable and reusable for multiple cleaning cycles
Compatible Vehicles:
- Porsche Boxster 1997–2004 — H6-2.5L / 2.7L
Note: Part number 30-10090 is supplied as a single filter. Clean and re-oil at regular service intervals using aFe's Pro 5R restore kit — oiled-filter cleaner plus blue filter oil. Do not over-oil: excess oil can foul the mass airflow sensor. aFe states this product does not require a CARB EO number.
Installation Instructions:
Ten minutes with the airbox lid off, and the last air filter the car needs.
