the ECS Billet Aluminum Oil Filter Housing for your Audi or VW will add a touch of class to an ordinary part generally overlooked with durable and attractive convenience. The factory plastic housing can be brittle and is the most appealing part of your engine bay. Give your Audi or VW engine another piece to set it apart from the masses with this aluminum oil filter housing.

Your Audi uses rubber rear subframe mounts which deflect under load, causing the rear end to feel vague and loose, as well as leading to less-than-optimal suspension geometry and increased understeer. These precision-machined billet aluminum inserts are designed to fill voids in the factory rear subframe mounts, and limit subframe movement without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any perceivable additional N.V.H into the cabin. The result is a more refined, connected driving experience, as well as of aftermarket rear sway bar upgrades and suspension components.
