About Powertec
Powertec offer a large range of high quality induction kits. The Powertec air filter uses pleated, extra fine stainless steel mesh element. This is a relatively new way of filtering air compared to the more traditional paper, cotton and foam filters. Stainless steel filters have two main advantages:
- They do not need to be oiled - low maintenance.
- Awesome 'raspy' induction sound thanks to their unique design.
Powertec stainless steel filters change turbulent airflow on the outer surfaces of the filter to laminar airflow on the inside. This laminar air flow helps larger volumes of air enter your engine for improved performance.
Why do I want a Powertec?
LOOKS
The secret of Powertec's stunning looks start with the gorgeous Italian stainless steel mesh which surrounds the entire filter.
This is complimented perfectly with a precision embossed Powertec logo in the mirror polished aluminium end cap.
Nearly all Powertec kits feature a highly polished aluminium spun base, with precision TIG-welded pipework where required.
SOUND
Your factory air box has a job to do. One of these being to silence the engine as much as possible! Not only does this often strangle the performance but it keeps induction noise to a minimum.
Replacing the standard airbox with a Powertec induction system will unleash the induction roar that your engine was built to make.
At low revs and part-throttle you shouldn't notice a big change, so there is no danger of a headache on motorway journeys. But put your foot down and prepare to have your ears seduced by the unique sound of a Powertec!
