Breathe easy with the AWE Tuning 997.2 S-FLO Filter Set.

Let your 997.2 breathe a little easier with the AWE Tuning 997.2 S-FLO Filter Set.



The AWE Tuning S-FLO Filter Set is a drop in, 27% higher flowing replacement for the restrictive OE paper filters. Each AWE Tuning S-FLO Filter’s tightly woven cotton material not only improves durability and longevity, but can also capture particles as small as 5 microns on its way to freeing up horsepower to the tune of 14 crank hp and 13 crank tq at 6310 rpms.

Curious as to what warrants $200 additional dollars over the K&N filters? I've used the K&N part number without trouble for the past 1500 miles or so.

Part number E-1999
http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...px?prod=E-1999

I bought them from Amazon for about $77 to my door. Ran them until I swapped to the FabSpeed intake.

I'm assuming these filters are private label through one of the existing filtration media companies that are ISO9001 or higher certified? The media color reminds me of something aFe uses.

My questions are for pure curiosity sake, as I have already made my choices with promising results.

Great questions.

The AWE Tuning S-FLO Filter Set differentiates itself from other filters by being specifically tested and proven on this application to show gains of +14hp and +13tq and a 27% increase in airflow over the factory filters.

The filter is our own design, manufactured by a Tier1 air filer manufacturer.

The AWE Tuning S-FLO Filter Set will work with all naturally aspirated 997.2 models/configurations.

So if I understand you correctly, your filters in the standard air box will NET a higher HP and TQ gain than some of the full replacement intakes on the same vehicle, as per your claims.

I have a Mustang 1100 dyno at my disposal. If I tested these filters vs the factory filters on back to back runs, would you stand by your HP claims with a money back guarantee?

I have the car on the rollers later today to play with the new intake, I also have a baseline for the factory airbox with brand new Porsche Filters, with used Porsche Filters, with new K&N Filters, and with 1500 miles on the K&N filters.

I have also been logging IAT temps through the process as well.

Our findings were that after adding only the AWE Tuning S-FLO Filter Set to an otherwise stock 997.2 Carrera 4 GTS, the car saw gains of 14hp and 13tq at the crank at 6310rpms. Both before and after runs were performed on the same day in the same conditions.

Here is the wheel power graph from our in-house Mustang MD-500-AWD Dyno for reference-

Each AWE Tuning S-FLO Filter Set is assembled using a low pressure molding process. Some filters currently on the market us a lower cost, high-pressure molding process that leads to rubber seeping into the filter surface, which can obstruct flow up to 25%. Low pressure molding ensures that the rubber spill-over will not occur.

you dodged his question. will you stand behind your filters with a money back guarantee that they'll produce +14hp and +13tq?

We've found that different cars will produce different numbers on the same dyno, and there are simply too many variables for us to stand behind an exact horsepower gain. We use our dyno as a tool to gauge power increase during the R&D process, and reported delta and percentage gains are an indicator of what end users can expect.

Even Porsche themselves state there may be a +/-15% variation in final power output on production vehicles.

While we stand behind percentage gains on products for end users, we do not offer money-back power guarantees.

We do offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on our products, though, if you wish to try them out without risk.

Are these dry filters or are they also oil impregnated? How often do you need to clean?

The filters come pre-oiled. In regards to cleaning intervals, it depends entirely on driving habits, location, and climate.

We have S-FLO filter cleaning and re-oiling kits available here.

OEM-like fitment, with better than OEM flow, better than OEM power, and no perceptible change in volume. Sounds like a win-win-win to me.
