If you're rocking a JLT cold air intake system, you know the importance of keeping your engine breathing clean air. That’s where this pre-filter comes in. Specifically designed to fit our 5.5 x 7 inch air filter, it’s a perfect match for the OEM filters from the 2007-2020 GT500 and 2015-2020 GT350. Trust me, this isn’t just another accessory; it’s a game-changer.

Custom made for us by Outerwears, this pre-filter doesn’t just look good—it’s built to perform. The proprietary polyester mesh is tough as nails. With uniform micron openings, it filters out debris down to a minuscule .005 inches, ensuring your engine stays clean and efficient. Plus, it’s treated with a hydrophobic water-repellent process, so you can drive through puddles and heavy rain without worrying about water getting into your intake.

Now, let’s talk durability. This mesh is UV resistant and can handle extreme temperatures—up to 450 degrees, in fact. It’s also shatter-proof in freezing conditions, so whether you’re cruising in the summer heat or dealing with winter chills, this pre-filter has got you covered. The elastic material means that even if it gets banged up, it’ll bounce back to its original shape. And with reinforced seams and industrial-grade stitching, you can count on it to stand the test of time.

One of the best parts about this pre-filter is how it extends your servicing intervals. By keeping debris out, it helps maintain peak airflow and horsepower, which means you won’t have to clean your air filter as often. Less time spent on maintenance means more time enjoying the drive.

Now, about that water repellency feature—it’s a lifesaver. While it’s not completely waterproof (so don’t go submerging your ride), it does a fantastic job of keeping water at bay during those unexpected rainstorms. If you’re curious about how long that water repellency will last, it typically holds up for about 6-12 months, depending on your driving conditions and how often you clean it. A quick test is easy: just spray it with water. If it beads up, you’re good to go. If it soaks in, it might be time for a new pre-filter.

As for retreating it with aftermarket sprays? Don’t bother. The water repellency is part of the manufacturing process and can’t be replicated with a spray. If you try, you risk reducing airflow, which no one wants when it comes to performance.

In short, if you want to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently while looking good doing it, this Outerwears pre-filter is a solid investment. It’s designed to protect, enhance airflow, and make your life easier. So go ahead, give your air filter the upgrade it deserves.
