This version has an oil-free filter media for less maintenance. For the best flowing filter, with the best performance gain, we always recommend the standard aFe "Pro5R " filter (which has a blue pre-oiled filter media), but this oil-free filter flows only slightly less than the blue Pro5R style aFe filter, and requires no re-oiling after cleaning the filter.

Crafted with top-tier materials, including 100% polyurethane top and base, it ensures maximum airflow without the need for oil. Enjoy effortless maintenance and convenience, thanks to its washable and reusable design.

Plus, the pliable polyurethane flange, featuring integrated bumps, guarantees a tight, leak-free seal throughout the filter's lifespan.

Maximum Flow Pro5R Filter

This intake kit replaces your restrictive factory air box. It features a 3-angle aluminum velocity stack adapter, 1.6mm powder-coated steel heat shield, trim sealed to seal out hot engine air, and a custom aFe brand cotton filter.

This version uses aFe's highest flowing filter media, which uses a light oil gauze to filter out dirt and particulates while allowing more air to flow to the intake. For the best flowing filter, with the best performance gain, we always recommend this standard aFe filter media (often called "Pro5R ", which has a blue pre-oiled filter media). We also carry this filter in the "ProDry" grey filter media, which is oil-free for only slightly less performance and no maintenance.

By removing your stock intake air box, you are removing the most restrictive portion of your intake system, increasing both horsepower and torque, improving acceleration as well as throttle response.
