This AEM Dryflow panel air filter is a direct drop-in replacement for the factory paper filter in the stock air box on select Volkswagen and Audi models. The synthetic Dryflow filter media is engineered for a balance of high airflow, particle filtration, and long-term performance, using durable, oil-free material that's easy to clean and reinstall. Because it's a direct-fit replacement, installation does not affect the factory air box or void the vehicle's warranty.
