Have a look at this beast of a filter. Never knew you could get them. What are your thoughts guys...


Filtration expert Pipercross has released a fully TOCA-approved filtration package that complies with the latest regulations whilst offering significant flow improvements over any previously sanctioned filter.

Hand finished here in the UK, the BTCC homologated part features a double conical high-flow filter construction affixed to a full radius aluminium spinning. The lightweight outer housing is fully ceramic coated to help further reduce intake temperatures. This Pipercross Universal Airbox has been treated by renowned heat management gurus Zircotec to enable lowest possible intake temperatures for truly maximum performance. Following feedback from race engineers, this outer housing is secured by over-centre clips, rather than bolts, to allow for rapid removal and cleaning between races, or during set-up and testing.

Thanks to its unique construction, the total filtration area is an impressive 810 cm², despite the filters external dimensions only being 256mm high by 153mm diameter. The inlet is the required 100mm, with the outlet dropping to 75mm, as per current turbo regulations.

During extensive flow testing, Pipercross recorded some compelling data. The best of the 2011 approved filters showed a depression of 1,686 pascals at 188 litres/second, whereas the new Pipercross package proved to be less restrictive, registering only 1,471 pascals at the same rate.

Although the C7000 is aimed primarily at TOCA constructors, it can be used for any high performance race, kit or tuning application.

The C7000 Airbox is as used by British Touring Car Championship teams such as Redstone Racing, Rob Austin Racing, Speedworks, Welch Motorsport, AMD Racing and Thorney Motorsport.

The full package includes 100mm x 750mm cold air feed, the filter housing itself and all required clips and fittings. It retails at £250 + VAT.

That is a nice looking piece of kit! It doesn't look that big in the photos, they've done a good job getting a large filtration area into such a small package!
 
£300 - but it is a lifetime product that is washable so in the long run you'll save money!

Let's see £5 for a paper air filter, change this once a year and in 60 years this filter will have paid for itself! ;)
 
I suppose it depends on the power you are running and the amount of heat under the hood. But every little helps :)
 
Nice piece of kit. Unfortunately it is designed to meet TOCA race regs so is too restrictive for me :-(
