The included High-Flow Air Filter features oiled cotton gauze media layered between wire mesh screens, providing excellent filtration efficiency while maximizing airflow. The oversized conical shape increases the filter surface area, extending service intervals and enhancing engine breathing.
A custom heat shield is integrated to isolate the intake air from engine heat, helping maintain cooler intake temperatures for improved combustion efficiency and power output.
