Air Intake Kits From AFE

The Magnum Force filter kit is designed for most popular vehicles. As you may be aware of, most vehicles have a very restrictive air filter box. With the installation of the Magnum Force filter kit, the engine will now be able to breathe. It’s extremely important and beneficial for a engine to breathe well.

 Features include:
• 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.
• Precision pleat geometry optimizes airflow through the intake system
• Engineered to control maximum filter face air velocity with deep precision pleats
• High flow Funnel Ram AFE conical filter
• Powder coat finish
• Simple 10 minute installation

There are some subtle but significant differences between aFe’s filters and others. The best way is to take two filters for the same application and compare them. Here are some points to look for:

We currently offer aftermarket air filters for passenger cars, light trucks and SUV’s. We also have many applications for racing and universal clamp-on filters.

1. Filter media – aFe filter media is a 5 layer progressive mesh media on our standard high performance filters and 5 plus 2 more on our high filtration Pro-GUARD 7 media.

2. Pleat height and pleat spacing – aFe is generally 25% taller and more openly spaced. More open the pleats are the better the airflow. However, more openly spaced the pleats are fewer pleats you have. To have maximum filtration media, aFe offsets fewer, more open pleats with taller pleats.

3. Pleat shape – aFe pleats are more rounded like a dolphin’s nose rather than pointed. Rounded pleats allow air to flow through the tops and bottoms of the pleats themselves.

4. Seal shape – aFe uses a progressive bump seal made of 100% engineering grade polyurethane. The urethane stays soft and pliable over time and resists chemical and heat degradation.

5. Degree of wicking – “Wicking” is the amount of polyurethane that is absorbed by the cotton gauze media during the manufacturing process. Polyurethane that is absorbed into the media blocks airflow through that portion of the media. AFe strives to minimize the amount of “wicking” on all its filters.
