Pleated Media
aFe air filters use deeper pleats than the competition. Using deeper pleats means more pleated media, resulting in more surface area for air to flow through while reducing its restriction. The aFe air filter is able to achieve this without choking airflow using a precision crafted pleat pitch, allowing smoother airflow into the engine. Some competitive products, while attempting to increase surface area, over pack the filter with excess pleats, thus resulting in the unfortunate side effect of choking airflow.
 

Seal Design
aFe air filters feature a superior seal design with a 100% polyurethane material construction. Poorly designed seals either permit air leakage or distort the filter housing. Many other filters use plastisol or air/foam seals. Over time, heat and chemical attack cause this material to lose its elastic characteristics, which result in seal failure. Foam type seals simply cannot pass the test of time. Use of a foaming agent reduces the amount of polyurethane used in the part. Minimal heat exposure tends to turn this material into powder.

Pro-GUARD 7 Media
aFe's new Pro-GUARD 7 is a revolutionary change to the core property of the filter itself...the filtration media. The new filtration media provides significantly more air that a paper filter, but at the same time has excellent filtration efficiency and extended service life. Pro-GUARD 7 is an oil based filter media which filters contaminating particles with greater efficiency and less obstruction than typical paper elements. The aluminum wire mesh removes and prevents large solid particles from entering or damaging filtration media, and it provides a lifetime structural skeleton for the filter.

   

Cotton Gauze Media
The pleated media sandwiches multiple layers of high quality surgical cotton gauze between two layers of aluminum wire mesh. The special oil-treated surgical gauze filters out contaminating particles with less physical obstruction than typical paper elements. The oil is absorbed and wicked through micro fibers of the surgical gauze. Suspended particles are filtered out of the air stream through static charge attraction with the gauze/oil media. The aluminum wire mesh removes and prevents large solid particles from entering or damaging filtration media, and it provides a lifetime structural skeleton for the filter.
