More Horsepower/Torque
- Medical grade cotton gauze filter media reduces air restriction and increases engine output
- Surface area optimized to reduce pressure differential across the element resulting in reduced back pressure and increased torque
Increased Airflow
- Precision pleat geometry optimizes airflow through intake system
- Engineered to control maximum filter face air velocity with deep precision pleats
Improved Engine Protection
- Multi-layer oiled cotton gauze attracts and traps contaminants without sacrificing air flow
- Sturdy epoxy coated wire mesh construction protects filter media (and engine) from large debris
Limited Lifetime Warranty
- Cleanable and reusable
- Urethane seal outlasts conventional materials (especially under extreme engine temperatures)
Longer Filter Life
- The last filter your vehicle will ever need
The aFe air filter uses deeper pleats than the competition. Using deeper pleats means more pleated media, resulting in more surface area for air to flow through while reducing its restriction. The aFe air filter is able to achieve this without choking airflow using a precision crafted pleat pitch, allowing smoother airflow into the engine. Competitive products, while attempting to increase surface area, over pack the filter with excess pleats, thus resulting in the unfortunate side effect of choking airflow. The aFe filter media, with its uniquely designed pleat depth, pitch and media material, prevents air velocities at the filter face from reaching critical speeds. Exceeding critical speeds result in increased backpressure and reduced engine performance. It also improves filter longevity by allowing for better dust retention.
The aFe air filter is simply more efficient than competitive products. Multiple discrete layers facilitate depth filtration, which contributes to efficiency and promotes longevity over paper filters, which depend on quick clogging surface filtration. In addition, oil in the media enables the cotton gauze to filter out particles at a higher degree of efficiency without restricting airflow.
