xShop Now Genuine Porsche Air Cleaner Cartridge Online – Part 98711013301
The Genuine Porsche Air Cleaner Car 98711013301 is an original OEM air filter designed specifically for 987 generation Porsche vehicles. Manufactured by Porsche, this air cleaner cartridge ensures that only clean, filtered air enters your engine, helping maintain smooth performance and long-term reliability.
In high-performance engines like those found in the Porsche Boxster and Porsche Cayman, airflow quality plays a critical role. Dust, debris, and airborne particles can reduce efficiency and cause unnecessary wear. This OEM Porsche air cleaner is engineered to meet factory airflow standards, supporting proper combustion and protecting internal engine components.
Because it is produced to original factory specifications, the filter fits directly into the air cleaner housing without modification. There is no need for trimming or adjustment. The sealing edges are designed to sit securely in place, preventing unfiltered air from bypassing the element.
Routine replacement of the Porsche 987 air filter is recommended during scheduled maintenance. Over time, filters become clogged, which may affect throttle response, fuel efficiency, and overall engine smoothness. Replacing the filter with a genuine Porsche component ensures consistent airflow and preserves the original driving characteristics of your vehicle.
The filter media is built to withstand varying temperature conditions and daily driving environments. Whether the vehicle is used in city traffic or open highway driving, this high-performance Porsche filter element supports stable engine breathing across different climates.

Zuffenhausen Mid-Engine Packaging & Intake Plenum Overhaul Notice
This professional-grade, high-capacity cylindrical engine air cleaner element, precision injection-molded soft elastomeric perimeter border, and structural internal backing cage assembly is engineered strictly for the factory central induction housings of the mid-engined 987.1 and 987.2 generation Porsche Boxster and Cayman series. Positioned behind the passenger cabin bulkhead wall directly adjacent to the left-hand ($LH$) exterior side-intake scoop, this specialized filtration core manages massive, rapid volumetric induction draws needed to sustain clean, non-turbulent airflow columns for the naturally aspirated flat-six engine lineage under maximum acceleration phases scaling past **7,200 to 7,400 RPM**.
Critical Generational Splits, Intake Volume, and DFI Sensor Safety Warnings: Technicians, workshop advisors, and specialized engine builders must recognize that although 987.1 (2005–2008) and 987.2 (2009–2012) models share comparable exterior layouts, the underlying internal induction plumbing, throttle bodies, and digital engine management maps are fundamentally different. First-generation versions rely on multi-point port fuel injection, while second-generation (987.2) models introduce advanced **Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) MA1.20/MA1.21 architectures** that require precise, non-restrictive air-mass delivery to eliminate low-end torque hesitation.
Never compromise these mid-engine layouts by using low-tier unreinforced economy aftermarket filters or cheap oil-saturated cotton gauze elements. Sourcing an inferior filter media variant presents immediate structural risks under aggressive wide-open-throttle operations. High-RPM suction tracks pull cheap, thin paper pleats inward, distorting the filter body and breaking the housing lip seal. This distortion allows unmetered road grit, tire rubber fragments, and fine sand debris to bypass the filter and strike the highly sensitive Mass Airflow ($MAF$) sensor wires. On direct-injection 987.2 platforms, this bypass fouls combustion chemistry monitoring, leading to chronic cold-start stumbles, bank-to-bank fuel adaptation errors ($P0101$, $P2187$, or $P2189$ fault strings), and severe mid-range hesitation that forces the digital engine management (DME) to truncate active timing curves and drop power output into protection limits.
Additionally, note that track-focused derivatives—such as the 987.2 Boxster Spyder and the lightweight Cayman R—run unique factory sport exhaust maps and modified intake configurations that amplify internal scuttle vacuum draw forces, rendering absolute perimeter seal integrity mandatory.
Service, Bulkhead Extraction & Alignment Best Practices: Sourcing an air filter replacement on the 987 platform cannot be done via the under-bonnet luggage bays. Maintenance requires entering the passenger cabin, sliding both seats completely forward, unlatching the carpeted trim panels, and unbolting the heavy insulated structural engine access bulkhead cover plate using a Torx T30 driver tool.
Once the metal bulkhead plate is removed, technicians must thoroughly wipe clean the exterior surface of the plastic airbox shell to prevent trapped dirt and detailing residues from dropping into the exposed clean-side intake track plenum. Unlatch the primary circular retention cap or release the perimeter housing fasteners. Carefully back the old filter cartridge straight out parallel along its centerline axis. **Technicians must immediately inspect the lower floor of the filter housing: use a specialized shop vacuum to clean out accumulated autumn leaves, granular stones, and fine tyre soot particles that collect directly behind the side-scoop debris screen**.
Lightly coat the internal slide rubber sleeve or the outer soft polyurethane perimeter seal ring with a trace glaze of clean water or water-based assembly gel—never use petroleum grease or silicone spray, as these outgas and permanently ruin the downstream MAF sensor element. Slide the fresh filter cartridge firmly home into the housing guides, ensuring the end cap seats flush and parallel without crimping or buckling the sealing lips. Re-latch the housing cap, and **torque the bulkhead cover retention bolts in a cross-star sequence exactly to the factory manual specification: 10 Nm** to ensure an airtight, sound-insulated cabin seal boundary. Run a complete diagnostic sweep post-assembly to verify stable mass airflow sensor tracking values before signing off the workshop ticket.
Melt-Blown Multi-Layer Synthetic Micro-Fleece Sheets
The primary filter medium is constructed from advanced, multi-layer melt-blown synthetic micro-fleece fibers arranged in a dense, high-surface-area pleat profile. This technical engineering achieves exceptional fine particulate capture limits down to $3\,\mu\text{m}$ boundaries, maintaining complete engine intake tract purity and excellent air column velocity during sustained high-load track or highway runs.
Reinforced Internal Steel Diamond Support Mesh Grid
The clean-side interior core of the cylindrical or panel filter block is stabilized by an integrated, epoxy-coated structural steel wire diamond-mesh grid. This rigid metal reinforcement completely prevents pleat distortion, material crushing, or media implosion when subjected to severe under-hood induction vacuum forces during maximum high-RPM sweeps ($>7,000\,\text{RPM}$).
