Protection for air filters

Protective covers for air filters are used in intake solutions where extra shielding of the air filter against water, dust, dirt and other external influences is wanted. This can be a relevant solution for road cars, off-road vehicles, motorsport cars and custom builds where the air filter is mounted openly or sits exposed in the engine bay. In this category, you will find covers for air filters that can help protect the filter better in demanding conditions.

An open air filter often provides a simple and flexible intake solution, but it also means that the filter can in some cases be more exposed to its surroundings. In these cases, protection for the air filter can be an advantage. It can help reduce the direct impact of water splashes, moisture, coarser dirt and other particles that could otherwise load the surface of the filter more quickly. This can be especially relevant on cars where the filter is placed low down, close to the front, or in an area with a lot of heat, moisture or dirt.

Protection for air filters is often chosen for cars that are used in changing conditions, where the intake can be exposed to more than just normal dry road use. This can be relevant when driving in rain, damp environments, dusty areas, or on cars where the placement of the filter makes it more vulnerable. A cover does not change the basic function of the air filter, but it can help protect the filter better as part of the overall solution.
