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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the WIX panel reduce airflow restriction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide pleat design to maximize effective filtration area\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternal mesh support to keep passages open under heavy flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMedia formulated to balance filtration and airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile panel shape for compact intake housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sealing features prevent unfiltered air bypass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWIX equips this panel with a urethane soft sealing gasket engineered to conform to intake flanges and create a reliable barrier.
