Construction & Design:
The intake tube is crafted from lightweight, mandrel-bent aluminum alloy, which replaces the restrictive factory air box and improves airflow efficiency. The smooth bends reduce turbulence, allowing your engine to breathe easier and respond faster. The powder coated steel heat shield effectively isolates the air filter from hot engine bay temperatures, helping to maintain cooler, denser air intake for better combustion.
Durability is enhanced by the use of reinforced silicone couplers and stainless steel T-bolt clamps, components proven in racing environments to withstand heat and vibration. Proudly made in the United States, the HPS air filter is engineered to balance filtration and airflow, ensuring long-lasting performance and easy maintenance.
