Panel air filter for the 3.6

[Gerzos]

Hi all. Hope everyone is well. Looking to replace my factory paper mahle filter with either a BMC or PiperCross. Any experiences with these 2 brands? Thanks

I would recommend to avoid the foam filters (eg Pipercross) as they are messy, a pain to clean and the foam disintegrates after a few years. Get a good quality cotton pleat filter like AFE, K&N or BMC.

I’ve never personally used BMC, but have used both AFE and K&N and can confidently say that the AFE filters are better quality than K&N.

Ok nice. Thank you. Does AFE make an 3.6 vr6 filter? Can't seem to find one

I believe this is the correct filter for the R36. aFe 31-10176 Magnum FLOW Pro DRY S Air Filter (A3 04-09)

Otherwise, here is the BMC filter BMC Air Filter for Audi RS Q3 8U TTRS 8J - FB382/01 | MODE Auto Concepts
