Construction & Design

The Quantum intake system is built with precision engineering and high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of diesel truck use. The air filter features a progressive three-layer synthetic media that does not require oiling, simplifying maintenance and reducing mess. Its injection-molded base and top provide lightweight rigidity, while the built-in three-angle velocity stack ensures smooth, even airflow into the engine.

The intake tube is crafted from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), a polymer known for its excellent heat resistance and durability, helping to prevent heat soak and maintain cooler intake air temperatures. The sealed housing is designed with a rugged five-rib pattern, enhancing structural integrity and providing a distinctive industrial look synonymous with aFe quality.
