aFe Direct-Fit Diesel, Superstock, Inverted Air Filter - Pro Guard 7 - Oiled - GMC Sierra, 2001

This oiled, inverted filter has a larger surface area than stock filters because of deeper pleats, which improve airflow and trap more dust. The open, flat-panel design on top provides maximum protection for heavy-duty diesel and off-road GMC Sierras.

Features:

  • Improves on the tremendous protection found in standard Pro Guard 7 filters
    • Inverted design includes deeper pleats that increase the surface area
      • Larger surface area leads to higher dust-holding capacity
    • Flat-panel design at the top of the filter increases airflow
      • Filter installs in the airbox but does not connect to the intake tube
      • Air flows through the wide filter opening into the intake tube, unrestricted by the narrow flange found on standard filters
  • Performs well for heavy-duty diesel and off-road GMC Sierras in harsh driving conditions
    • Filter is equipped with expandable metal and epoxy-coated aluminum wire mesh
      • Flexible materials offer high strength-to-weight ratio for large loads and help to protect diesel engines
  • Boasts 99.7-percent filtration efficiency rate made possible by 5 cotton layers; 2 randomly porous, synthetic layers; and specially formulated oil coating
  • Withstands extreme engine temperatures with 100-percent polyurethane composition on all sides
  • Can be washed and reused
  • Designed for use in stock or aFe airbox
    • Filter has GMC Sierra-specific application
  • Made in the USA
  • 2-Year limited warranty


The aFe superstock, inverted Pro Guard 7 oiled air filter improves on the tremendous protection found in standard Pro Guard 7 filters. Its inverted design showcases deeper pleats that increase the surface area, yielding a higher dust-holding capacity. The large opening in the flat panel at the top increases airflow; because this filter does not contain a narrow flange that connects directly to the intake tube, air flows more freely through the system. Designed for heavy-duty diesel and off-road GMC Sierras, it performs well in all driving conditions, but the filter particularly excels in extremely dusty environments. The filter is encased in expandable metal and epoxy-coated aluminum wire mesh, and it provides the flexibility necessary for diesel applications. The high strength-to-weight ratio accommodates maximum loads and helps to protect diesel engines. Composed of 100-percent polyurethane on all sides, the filter withstands high engine temperatures.

Five layers of progressively finer, medical-grade cotton gauze and two layers of non-woven polyester fabric with random porosity block 99.7 percent of dirt and grime from clogging your engine. These materials combine with the specially formulated oil coating to provide high-performance airflow and extended service intervals. This aFe air filter is washable and reusable; cleaning and re-oiling are recommended once every 25,000 to 30,000 miles.



Note: Upgrading your stock air filter to a performance filter does not change the stock intake tract or emissions output of your exhaust system. Therefore, performance air filters - like this product from aFe - are considered street legal and compliant with emission standards in all states and in Canada.
