Wix Racing panel air filter — low-restriction pleated media with urethane sealing gasket

WIX Racing Filters Air Filter Panel is a panel-style intake filter designed to deliver low airflow restriction with a urethane sealing gasket and internal mesh support.

This panel air filter from WIX is built for performance applications where unrestricted breathing and reliable sealing matter. It combines a supportive wire mesh core, a soft urethane gasket to seal the flange, and a pleated filter media engineered for minimal resistance. The result is an air-cleaning solution intended to protect your engine while allowing efficient airflow for higher-demand driving or racing conditions.

How does the WIX panel reduce airflow restriction?

The filter uses a pleated media layout supported by an internal mesh screen to maintain open flow channels under load. Pleats increase surface area so air moves through more material with less pressure drop, and the mesh prevents collapse at high intake velocities.

• Wide pleat design to maximize effective filtration area
• Internal mesh support to keep passages open under heavy flow
• Media formulated to balance filtration and airflow
• Low-profile panel shape for compact intake housings

What sealing features prevent unfiltered air bypass?

WIX equips this panel with a urethane soft sealing gasket engineered to conform to intake flanges and create a reliable barrier. The gasket's compliance helps it adapt to minor surface irregularities, reducing chances of unfiltered air finding a leak path.

• Urethane gasket offers a firm yet flexible seal
• Precision-fit dimensions for common panel housings
• Resistant to oil and environmental exposure to retain shape

How is the WIX panel constructed for durability?

The assembly combines durable filter media with a supporting mesh and a resilient urethane perimeter to withstand vibration and repeated servicing. Materials are selected for dimensional stability so the panel keeps its shape after cleaning or in elevated under-hood temperatures.

• Mesh support screening prevents media deformation
• Robust adhesive bonding holds layers together through thermal cycles
• Urethane gasket resists compression set and aging

How do I choose the right application or housing for this panel?

Match the panel's outside dimensions and flange footprint to your intake housing for a proper fit. Check the required flow capacity for your engine and compare it against this panel's low-restriction characteristics to ensure it meets performance needs without compromising filtration.

• Confirm panel dimensions and flange type before purchase
• Use for applications where compact, high-flow panels are specified
• Consider media serviceability if filter cleaning is part of maintenance

Who is this for: The WIX Racing Filters Air Filter Panel is well suited to owners, mechanics, and race teams that need a compact, low-restriction panel filter with dependable sealing. It fits installations where space is limited but airflow demands are high—such as performance street cars, sport compacts, and many track-oriented builds—offering a balance of protection, durability, and airflow efficiency without altering intake geometry.
