Construction & Design

The Quantum intake system is built with high-quality materials engineered for durability and performance. The intake tube is constructed from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a polymer known for its resistance to heat soak and long-lasting strength under demanding conditions. The injection molded filter base and top provide a rigid yet lightweight structure, ensuring the filter maintains its shape and sealing integrity over time.

The sealed housing features a unique five-rib design that not only reinforces the structure but also gives the system a rugged, industrial look synonymous with aFe quality. The integrated design of the filter and housing, secured by captive screws, ensures a tight seal that prevents unfiltered air from entering the engine while allowing for quick filter changes.
