Posted by Pipercross Air Filters on 10th Jan 2025


Before we take a deep dive into out brand-new flagship range. Let’s look at where it all started…

Since our founding in 1983, Pipercross have been at the forefront of British engineering, producing high performance air filters that go beyond ordinary. Our products are engineered to deliver optimal airflow and filtration, improve fuel efficiency, and extend engine life, giving you the performance edge you’re looking for. We continuously strive to innovate and expand our industry leading products, including our new flagship product line…

What is AirMax?

Pipercross AirMax is the pinnacle of a performance induction system, meticulously designed using industry leading research and development techniques. Constructed from stunning carbon fibre, they provide a well designed package to enhance power, efficiency, and induction sound.

The range so far...

Improve engine bay aesthetics with our OE-fit, pre-preg carbon fibre engine cover, designed to enhance the engine bay of the G8X Platform M2/M3/M4 vehicle, fitted with the S58 engine perfectly.

Key Features

  • Lightweight, strong, and visually stunning.
  • OE fitment and clearance.
  • Perfectly complements our PK445 AirMax carbon intake system.
  • OE fitment and clearance.




Our PK445 intake system is expertly designed to replace the OEM BMW intake airbox lids, air filters, and front intake cross pipe on the BMW S58 3.0T G8X M2, M3, and M4. PK445 enhances power, efficiency, and induction sound.

Key Features

  • Smoothed geometry carbon fibre airbox lids tailored to increase volume and smoothed airflow.
  • Carbon fibre replacement intake pipe - volume & flow optimised for engine bay cavity.
  • CNC-Machined billet aluminium reinforced connectors for OEM fitment and long-term durability.
  • Pipercross plus panel filters; muti-layer replacement high flow panel filters featuring industry first steel frame for maximum air flow and filtration.

Performance

  • Flow tested to confirm 84.26% maximum, and 62.59% average airflow restriction decrease vs. full OE intake system.
  • Dyno tested with an increase of up to +11 to +30 HP & +16 to +35Nm TQ power gains (stock to stg1).
  • Larger post-filter internal air volume vs. OE parts.



Little brother to the PK445, the PK454 Induction System packs a big punch for your F5X Cooper S or JCW. The B48 engine is great in stock format, we looked at where improvements could be made over the OE system and we found there was big scope for something which was not only aesthetically appealing but in practice gives this platform a new lease of performance. 

Meticulously designed carbon induction systems are tailored to your Cooper S / JCW vehicle, providing a bespoke solution for maximizing power, efficiency, and induction sound. The Pipercross AirMax Lid Intake System has been designed and engineered to directly replace the OEM BMW/Mini intake airbox lid, air filter and intake hose on the F56 2.0T (B48).

  • Flow tested to confirm 85.37% maximum, 74.24% average airflow restriction decrease vs. full OE intake system.
  • Up to +7HP (Stock) to +16HP (Full kit Stg1).
  • Up to +8Nm TQ (Stock) to +16Nm TQ (Full kit Stg1).
