Showed up quickly and fit perfect 2013 jkuThe air cleaner housing assembly (also commonly referred to as an air box or air filter housing) houses and protects the air filter from the various harsh elements that could potentially weaken and damage it. This allows the air filter to do its job of filtering out any impurities in the air before it flows into the engine. The air box can usually be found near the front of the fender, inside the engine compartment. A typical air filter housing will have an air inlet on one side of the filter to allow in the fresh air and an outlet on the other side of the box that goes to the air intake hose leading to the throttle body on the engine.

Some air filter boxes may also have baffles inside to quiet engine noise, air intake temperature sensors, or mass air flow sensors. The air cleaner housing assembly is not a part that requires regular maintenance or replacement. However, since it is made of plastic, it can crack from pressure or extreme environmental conditions.  Sometimes air boxes can break when changing the filter. This can happen when the person performing the maintenance does not know where all the bolts are or exactly how the box comes apart, so they may try to force it open, effectively breaking the box. Improper installation may also lead to broken closure clips or stripped screw holes, as well as to over-tightened mounting bolts that can cause the area around them to break. Lastly, due to its location in the engine bay, they are often broken when the vehicle is in an accident. Replacing the air filter housing is generally an easy and straight forward job. Make sure to remove and transfer any sensors located in the old box into the new one.

Disconnect the engine inlet air hose on the outlet of the housing. Remove the air filter and check for any damage or contaminants, and replace if necessary. Remove any mounting hardware, and the housing should be free to pull out. Breaks and cracks in the air box can disrupt the air flow, which can lead to rough running and poor fuel economy. A broken air box can also allow unwanted dirt and contaminants to enter into your vehicle’s engine. This can foul your mass air flow sensor, which is an expensive repair and/or prematurely wear out your engine, which is an even more costly repair. Therefore, if your vehicle’s air cleaner housing assembly needs to be replaced, it is imperative that you do so as soon as possible. Is your vehicle’s air filter box broken? If so, then you have come to the right place for a replacement. At 1A Auto, we have quality, aftermarket air cleaner housing assembly replacements for many makes and models, and at great prices.

The fact of the matter is that which filter is better depends on what you are intending to do with your Jeep and what your Jeep is made of. For example, if you've got a stock engine, basically any filter will flow enough air to keep it happy. And you aren't going to pick up any power from a filter swap alone. The restriction in the stock Jeep is the stock air-intake system, not the filter.

However, if you've got a super-modified mud-runner or just a high-horsepower trail machine, the stock filter won't cut it and you'll need to upgrade. The Test: ISO-5011The International Organization for Standardization sets up uniform testing procedures, conditions, and equipment so that test results can be reproduced anywhere. Why do you care? Well, the ISO-5011 test that we are talking about deals with dust and the air filter. Basically, what they do is flow air through the filter while suspending dirt particles in the air stream from 1-120 microns (.001mm) in size. The ISO-5011 standard sets guidelines for the range and size of particles involved. The old testing standard was an SAE J726, but this test has been adopted by ISO and improved upon. OEMs typically use the coarse dust standard for normal passenger vehicles, but since we are talking about heavier-duty usage and dirtier conditions, we focused on the fine dust test. Dust CapacityWe aren't too concerned about the actual flow numbers of a clean filter, as aftermarket filters flow more than 99.99 percent of what our Jeeps can handle, we are more worried about dirty flow numbers - or how much dirt it can accumulate and still flow enough to keep the engine happy.

The capacity of the filter in the ISO-5011 test is when there is more than 10 inches of water difference across the filter. Ten inches of water is a measure of pressure with the equivalent of 52 pounds per square foot or enough pressure to collapse a non-supported conical filter. Basically, what this means for you is that while your Jeep will still run, it most likely won't be getting enough air in the higher rpm ranges, and you should clean the filter. How dirty your filter gets totally depends on your driving conditions. Cumulative EfficiencyThis is the big one that everyone talks about. If they aren't talking about it using the ISO-5011 fine dust standard, you'll be comparing apples to oranges, and the numbers you are bench racing with will be useless. The cumulative efficiency basically tells you how much of the dust shot at the filter was caught in the filter media and how much got through. For example, an efficiency number of 98 percent would indicate that 98 grams of dirt were caught while two grams got past the filter.

RestrictionOK, you're probably thinking, "Well what about horsepower increases?" The less restriction a filter has, the more horsepower potential your engine can realize. We ran into so many problems here trying to get numbers that matched across the board, we couldn't get too far into it. Most companies market their filters by horsepower ... which is fine if you are talking about an intake kit. Instead, you want to know the restriction of the filter at a certain cubic foot per minute of flow. That is the big reason we are swapping the paper element out, after all. It filters great, but the restriction is very high. The technologyWhen you get down to it, there are four basic types of air filters: 1) Foam: An open-cell foam medium that's normally oiled. Not to be used in Jeep applications because it won't take the abuse or filter out enough dirt. Often used as a prefilter for paper air filters. 2) Paper (or cellulose): the typical filter used in OE applications. Filters fairly well, but doesn't flow that well.

Also, as it accumulates dust, whatever flow it had goes straight down the tubes. Good for a Jeep that never sees dirt. Not reusable, not cleanable, and falls apart really quick in water. 3) Cotton gauze: Basically, a cotton ball spread out really thin, oiled, and held between two layers of window screen, this filter flows very well. However, without multiple layers of cotton it just doesn't filter well enough to protect your engine. Seven-layer is what we've found to be the minimum for adequate protection. Cleanable, reusable, and stands up to water. 4) Dry element: A synthetic medium that is reusable, designed to catch smaller particles than cotton, and so does not need to be oiled. Doesn't depend on oil to filter air, and there is no oil to potentially harm sensors. AEM Dryflow FilterStated benefits:99.4 percent efficiency (ISO-5011 standard).Can hold a lot of dust before clogging up.Flows almost as good as a cotton gauze filter by making the pleats deep for more surface area.

Our Test ResultsDust capacity is just how much it'll handle before it collapses or chokes the engine off so it won't run well. It's important if you operate in dusty or dirty environments. With the dry element filters, the capacity on the bench is less, but one whack or bump and a lot of the dust falls off of it. When is the last time you were wheeling your Jeep on a perfectly smooth road? Efficiency ... the golden buzzword. While all the filters tested were very close, over time the impact on your engine can be huge. These numbers are for a relatively short test with a small amount of dust. Multiply it by 10 or 100 to get a rough estimate of how much dust makes it into your engine on a given wheeling trip.
