Default Meet the new, lower priced AWE Tuning Foiler™ Wind Diffuser for 981/991s

Presenting the lower priced, injection-molded AWE Tuning Foiler™ Wind Diffuser. The simple, elegant solution to wind buffeting in Porsche 981/991s.
  • The elegant solution for Porsche 981/991 wind buffeting
  • UV stabilized injection-molded plastic for the perfect OE-style look
  • Combats buffeting, both on the track and the street
  • Allows for “single window” down driving without buffeting
  • Perfect OE-like fitment
  • Simple, quick installation

What’s wind buffeting?

You know that sound that happens when your window is down at speed that makes it feel like your head is going to implode? That’s called wind buffeting. It happens when you’re moving fast, and it’s quite the issue on the newest generation of Porsche Boxster/Cayman and 911. So instead of just letting our brains melt under the pressure, we did something about it.

Porsche design

The AWE Tuning Foiler™ Wind Diffuser boasts an unobtrusive yet elegant design. Crafted from UV stabilized injection-molded plastic, the Foiler™ Wind Diffuser complements Porsche styling without calling unwanted attention. Installation is a breeze with AWE Tuning’s user-friendly, bolt-on design.

Passenger and driver’s side Foiler™ Wind Diffuser included, as well as all hardware needed for installation.

Roll down your window and wave goodbye to wind buffeting.

Hi, everyone. I come bearing good news!

We have revised the design of the Foiler™ to make the installation process very, very easy.

We have incorporated new changes to the brackets--the screw holes on the Foiler™ itself feature square pegs, and the coordinating brackets have square ports to prevent the bracket from spinning during install.





The screws themselves are now panhead.



Finally, we've revised the instruction guides to be very easy to follow. In these new guides (found on our website right here) you will be prompted to see whether you have the exposed or hidden screw. We recommend checking before purchasing so you are aware of what steps are required beforehand.

In addition to our installation guide a full DIY article, which these images above are from, can be found right here--courtesy of our friend Ken Smiley, Founder of Planet 9.

I hope this news finds everyone well, and allows those who were contemplating purchasing a set of Foiler™ Wind Diffusers to proceed with confidence!

Wish I paid those $20 less a few weeks ago. But I want to vouch for this product and AWE. It works as advertised. Plus looks OEM, which was a must for me. Great people to deal with. A friend of mine with a new GT3 was sold, ordered them, and I'll install them next week. As the head of the local Porsche club, you'll probably sell a lot more in the future.

WIsh I'd known that as I just got some last week thru Suncoast, and because of the round mounting it took a little fiddling to get everything to line up.
Did notice that one of them, even with the screws tight (but not too tight to strip) still moves (wobbles) a little when in place.
Haven't really had a chance to try out yet- sure hope it helps!
Does look OEM- wonder why Porsche didn't do something like this from the start!

Warm weather is on its way and windows are coming down. Prevent head-pulsing wind buffeting with Foiler™ Wind Diffusers -- the simple, elegant, and proven solution to buffeting in 981 and 718s.

Get your set through an AWE dealer or direct, right this way.
