Description

BMC Air Filter Kit FB550/08 – Porsche 992 (997.2) Carrera 2/4/4S/Cab/Targa/GTS

High-performance BMC FB550/08 replacement air filter set for Porsche 911 Carrera (997.2). Washable, reusable motorsport-grade filters delivering increased airflow, improved throttle response and OEM-style fitment.

Product Description

The BMC FB550/08 High-Performance Air Filter is a direct-fit upgrade for Porsche 911 Carrera models from the 997.2 generation. Designed as a drop-in replacement for the factory air filters, the FB550/08 improves airflow while maintaining exceptional filtration efficiency for enhanced engine performance and protection.

Manufactured in Italy using multi-layer oiled cotton gauze and epoxy-coated alloy mesh, BMC filters allow a higher volume of clean air to reach the engine while capturing contaminants as small as 7 microns, outperforming many standard paper filters.

The result is sharper throttle response, improved engine breathing and smoother power delivery, all without requiring any modifications to the factory airbox. Installation is completely reversible and retains OEM reliability.

Unlike conventional filters that require replacement, the FB550/08 is fully washable and reusable, offering a long-term performance solution for road and track applications.
