Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a pre-filter?
Pre-filters are designed to keep out larger
particles of street debris such as rubber, dirt and
sand from getting into and clogging the pleats of
air filter elements. Premature clogging of an air
filter will result in loss of horsepower and an
increase in service intervals. Our pre-filters are
uniquely designed to protect your engine and the
performance air filter investment without
sacrificing airflow or horsepower. Particles as
small as .005" are filtered out extending filter
life. Even in harsh conditions, including heavy
moisture, a pre-filter will enhance your filters
ability to continue flowing the necessary air
required for maximum performance while reducing the
possibility of water ingestion into the engine.
Proper use of a pre-filter will save money on filter
cleanings or replacements and extend engine life.
Some customers report increased fuel efficiency.
Will adding a
pre-filter reduce my airflow or horsepower?
Adding a pre-filter will not have any significant
reduction in airflow (independent lab test results
available upon request). Most Performance air
filters allow more air in than the engine can
actually handle. In fact, our pre-filter keeps your
primary filter cleaner for a longer period of time
allowing your engine the ability to sustain its
original airflow and horsepower for an extended
amount of miles and time. Many of our customers
claim they have also noticed an improvement in fuel
efficiency. This may simply be attributed to the
fact that they are keeping their air filter cleaner.

How long will the
pre-filter last?
This will depend entirely on driving conditions and
the amount of miles driven. Generally speaking, we
recommend changing the pre-filter every 6-12 months.
Your pre-filter will deflect debris for a longer
period of time, however the water repellent feature
will be less effective over time and cleanings. If
your vehicle or driving conditions expose your
filter to extreme moisture or splashes of water, we
highly recommend changing your pre-filter every 6-12
months.
Can I re-use the
pre-filter?
Yes. Our pre-filters are washable and reusable.
Depending upon driving conditions, it may be washed
and re-installed over and over again. We recommend,
depending on driving conditions, you replace the
pre-filter every 6-12 months to maintain the proper
filtration and water repellency.

kind of guarantee?
