Strange looking air filter

  1. My model of MX-5 is: __NC
  2. I’m based near: __Suffolk
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __air filters

Just removed the air filter for the first time and it looks nothing like any filter I’ve seen before.


Anyone seen these before?

Looks like a Pipercross filter to me.

Yep that’s a Pipercross. I have one in my ND, and fitted one in the NC2 before it.

Give it a vacuum over and return. And a vac round the airbox enclosure while you’re there👍🏼

They give you stickers in the box, so not sure why they haven’t been used. To try and avoid an errant garage binning it and replacing with a std paper filter!

Interesting to know if you saw any performance improvement

There is a cleaning kit for them, you wash them and re-treat them

Yes, there is one available - the C9005 kit I think it is.

Although I must say in 20+ yrs of using their filters, I’ve never got one dirty enough to warrant it! Just a dry vac once a year sorts them for me.

Depends on your usage and annual mileage perhaps.
