K&N Racing Air Filter Option for Porsche 911 997 GT3 RSR Factory-Built Race Car
- 20 Feb 2015
The Porsche 911 GT3 was originally developed as a higher-performance version of the Porsche 911 sports car intended for racing. The GT3 was named after the FIA GT3 class it was designed to compete in. The 997 generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 has several road going variants, however the 2006-2012 RSR is a different car with reduced weight, improved handling, and increased horsepower. Often time’s road racers will remove their air filter in hopes of squeezing every ounce of power out of their car as possible. However, K&N feels that air filters are important for engine protection and can even straighten airflow for improved combustion.
K&N builds race specific air filters designed to increase airflow and reduce restriction even in comparison to standard K&N stock replacement air filters. Most K&N race specific air filters feature fewer layers of cotton gauze air filter media and fewer pleats in a unique pattern to provide basic engine protection with as little restriction as possible. K&N’s line of race specific air filters are designed for asphalt racing only. They are not intended for dirt track, off-road or highway use. K&N race specific air filter 33-5008 for the 2006-2012 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR uses a unique pleat pattern to be less restrictive, providing high airflow, basic engine protection, and low restriction. As a result this K&N racing air filter increases horsepower and acceleration for the racetrack. The 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 997 GT3 RSR race specific air filter will fit directly inside the original air filter box assembly. No cutting or fitting modifications are required to install this filter, but fuel management modifications may be necessary to obtain optimum performance. K&N air filters are washable and reusable. K&N race specific air filters are warranted against defective workmanship for one year after the date of purchase with no mileage limitation.
