How to Choose the Right Performance Air Filter for Your Car?

[Wendy Wang 0]

If you're considering one of the many high performance air filters available for your vehicle, you need to make sure you choose the best performance air filter for your car and intake design. You also need to consider how to balance better filtration with better performance and a quieter engine with a loud, hoarse muscle car type sound.

 

Step 1 - Choose the best type of filter for your vehicle

When buying a performance air filter, you'll find two very different types of air filters: one that provides better filtration and lasts longer, and one that allows higher airflow and produces more horsepower and performance.

 

Step 2 - Consider a better brand of OEM filter replacement

If you only need a relatively modest performance boost from your vehicle and are still concerned about your car's air filter's ability to effectively filter out dirt, debris and other contaminants, then you may want to choose a lifetime manufactured air filter from Haolu Auto Parts that simply replaces the original manufacturer's standard air filter.

These types of filters typically provide better airflow than the standard OEM manufacturer of the air filter; however, they provide better overall filtration than many types of general purpose air filters used in cold air intake systems or short plenum intake systems.

 

Step 3 - High Performance Air Filters

If you want to maximize the horsepower and performance of your vehicle, you need to consider a cold air intake system or short ram intake system and choose a system that fits these types of high performance air filters.

 

Haolu Auto Parts manufacturers all offer high performance universal air filters that will fit most types of cold air intake and short ram air intake systems. Most of these high performance air filters use deeper pleats in the filter crease and have a larger surface area, which will allow maximum airflow into the vehicle's engine. The higher airflow helps produce a more efficient combustion process, which in turn produces more horsepower and performance for your vehicle.

Step 4 - Quiet Air Filters

One thing that most original manufactured air filters are very good at is reducing engine noise in new vehicles. In most cases, this is because the most commonly used air filters only allow enough airflow into the engine to produce a moderate amount of horsepower output from the engine. Therefore, if you are looking for something that will improve the horsepower performance of your vehicle, avoid these types of air filters. They do allow for a quieter ride, but they don't do much to help your car accelerate or drive at higher speeds.

 

Step 5 - Choosing a Muscle Car Air Filter

A large amount of airflow into the engine usually causes the engine to sound louder. The louder sound from cars with high-performance air intake systems is a sound that many muscle car and race car enthusiasts are familiar with and want to hear. In addition, the sound these vehicles make tells people that your vehicle is not just another ordinary production car, but one that you can be proud of and get through street traffic quickly.
