Outerwears Pre-Filter for JLT 5x7 Inch Air Filters

If you're running a JLT cold air intake system, you might want to consider adding this pre-filter to your setup. It’s custom-made by Outerwears and fits perfectly on our 5 x 7 inch air filters. Trust me, it’s not just about looks; it’s about keeping your engine safe and your performance up to par.

Why You’ll Love It

This pre-filter is crafted from a tough polyester mesh that’s designed to keep out debris down to .005 inches. That means dirt and grime won’t get the chance to clog your filter and mess with your airflow. Plus, it’s shatter-proof in freezing temps and can handle heat up to 450 degrees—pretty impressive, right?

Built to Last

One thing I appreciate about this pre-filter is the attention to detail in its construction. The seams are welded for durability, and the material is puncture-resistant. Even if you accidentally bump it against something, it’ll bounce back into shape thanks to its elastic properties. The top seam is reinforced too, so you know it’s not going to fall apart on you anytime soon.

Water Repellent Feature

Living in an area with sudden downpours? This pre-filter has you covered. It’s designed to repel water, so you won’t have to worry about puddles or heavy rain soaking your engine. Just keep in mind, it’s not completely waterproof. If you submerge it, water can still get through, so avoid deep water crossings.

Maintenance Made Easy

How long does the water repellency last? Generally, you’re looking at 6 to 12 months, depending on how you drive and how often you clean it. A quick test is simple: spray a little water on it. If it beads up, you’re still good to go. If it starts soaking in, it’s time for a new one.

Important Note on Retreatment

Thinking about treating it with some aftermarket water repellent spray? Don’t. The factory process used on the Outerwears pre-filter is what makes it work so well. Spraying anything on it could mess with airflow, which means you’ll lose horsepower and fuel efficiency. Keep it as is for the best performance.
