Large Five Layer Performance Air Filter:
If you're looking to give your engine a breath of fresh air, this 8-inch tall, 360-degree radial flow air filter is where it’s at. With a 4-inch flange and our Pro 5R media—made up of five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze—you’re not just getting air; you're getting high-flowing air that can really boost your power. Whether you're tearing up the streets or hitting the track, this filter’s got you covered.
Unique One-Piece Housing:
Now, let’s talk about the housing. This bad boy is made from open-element XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) polymer, which helps keep the warm engine air at bay. It’s got an open design that not only lets you see the filter but also gives your ride that aggressive intake sound. Plus, it fits right into your vehicle’s OE air inlet without any fuss over extra hardware.
Carbon Fiber Intake Tube:
This isn’t just any intake tube; it's a lightweight, 100% twill weave carbon fiber piece that's been computer-designed for maximum power gains. There’s no fiberglass here, just solid construction that’s clear-coated for that extra touch of quality. It’s all about getting that perfect fit while making sure your engine breathes easy.
Hassle-Free Installation:
Worried about installation? Don’t be. This system is designed to use factory mounting spots, so you won’t need a toolbox full of extra hardware. It’s a direct bolt-on setup that means no cutting or drilling. The innovative filter-to-housing interface reduces the number of parts compared to traditional cold air intakes, which makes life a whole lot easier.
Emissions Disclaimer:
Just a heads up—this product isn’t CARB exempt, so if you’re in California or have a vehicle registered there, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
