What sets aFe Performance Air Filters apart from the crowd?
Unlike a majority of other aftermarket automotive air filters, aFe Performance Air Filters are washable, reusable high-performance air filters. aFe strives to set itself apart from the rest through products that are designed and made with the highest quality materials and engineered to be the most effective and efficient air filtration media out there. They collect dust and particles to protect your engine and also produce more horsepower than any other.
Are aFe's Performance Air Filters environmentally friendly?
Not only are aFe's Performance Air Filters godd for the environment, but actually better:
- aFe filter media is made from cotton, which is an annual renewable resource whereas paper filters require cutting down trees;
- aFe filters are washable and reusable, eliminating large volumes of used and thrown away paper filters that end up in our landfills
- aFe filters allow the engine to breathe more easily than with paper filters which reduces emissions and keeps pollution levels low.
aFe OE high performance air filters are engineered to be washable and reusable and to provide greater flow over stock, resulting in increased horsepower and torque, quicker throttle response and elongated life. aFe OE high performance air filters are made of engineering grade polyurethane to withstand harsh or caaustic chemicals and heat while staying firm but pliable. All aFe flat panel filters use an integrated bump seal to ensure an airtight seal by conforming to uneven surfaces. No special sealers or gaskets are needed. The rounded open pleat construction increases airflow and dust holding capacity.
