Hi-Flow Air filter for US 2006 S80 (2.5T)? S80 2006

Hi, all!

I have tried to order a high-flow air filter for my 2006 S80 (2.5T). The K&N filter designated for the S80 is for the European version and does not fit; the US airbox is considerably larger. K&N said they have no filter for US 2006 S80s.

Does anyone know where to find a hi-flow filter for the 2006 US S80? Does it use another model's air box (S60, etc.)? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

- Bill

Bill,
High flow means less filtering. Your turbo may not boost any higher due to the built in controls. I suggest an experiment. Take out your current filter for a test and compare the power. You may see no difference. Let us all know what happens. We're interested.

You may want to try going to the auto parts store and look your filter in the filter book then see if it matches any of the other Volvo filters. I will say that when I put a K&N in my 1999 S80 the gas mileage went up, but there was no noticeable performance difference...Chris
