“noticed slight power increase during moderate to high acceleration…too early to notice any mpg increase”
Roland Z. – 2001 Ford ZX-2 (Springfield,VA)
“Replaced the OEM air filter on my wife’s 01 Ford ZX2 with the AFE air filter about a week ago. I loved it from the minute I first put it in. The change in throttle response was noticeable instantly. Also, although my wife has only driven through 3/4 of her first tank of gas since it was installed she has already gone as far as she used to on a full tank. It is still way too early to find out what the gas mileage is with the new filter but it appears to have increased quite a bit. Faster throttle response and better gas mileage from just a new air filter. Gotta love it!”
“The morning after installing the AFE filter I was driving and suddenly realized something was different about the performance of my car. I drive a 2000 BMW Z-3. The filter I replaced was clean so there was no decrease in performance due to clogging of air intake. My Z is more responsive on acceleration and pick-up during shifting. I have not yet checked for mpg increase but even if none, I will be happy with the increase in performance.”

“You wont need to worry about this filter falling apart or ever needing to replace it with a new one. This thing is built so well I’m surprised they are not standard.”
I was looking for some good aFe materials for the blog and I found this installation and review video that Tundra Headquarters put together. The aFe cold air intake uses the same filtration technology that aFe air filters use, so I thought it was a good testimonial for how well the aFe air filter works.
In this video, it shows the guys over at Tundra Headquarters installing the aFe cold air intake on a newer Toyota Tundra with the 5.7-liter V8 engine and includes the dyno improvements they noticed.
Checkout this air filter test that was performed by an independant testing company. The aFe Pro-Guard 7 stacks up pretty well against the competition. Too bad the other two aFe fitlers weren’t tested!
“My new AFE Filter provided an immediate improvement to engine response and has added almost 2 mpg to overall performance. So far it has been just as advertised. Thanks!”

“It is still to early to tell if there are any milage or performance improvements but at least it is the last filter I will have to buy for my truck and the price is right .”
Here is a cool illustration of the different air filter medium’s that manufacturer’s use. As you can see, the aFe filter allows the least amount of particles to get through it’s filter medium. aFe filters are capable of catching particles as small as two microns! To give you a frame of reference, a human hair averages 50 microns thick.
“I have had AFE air fliter in the past and I think they do flow a little better than K@N I wish AFE had more OEM drop in fliter out there for other cars.”
Benjamin P. – 1998 Volvo S70 (Miami,FL) “I now have AFE air filters on all my vehicles and won’t switch back to the other well known brands. The quality of the filter is superb and I gave it five stars because I can’t think of a way the filter could be improved.”
“I purchased an AFE Filter for my 2007 Tundra and I am very pleased. I am enjoying better gas milage and better performance after installing this filter element. I can hear the difference when I hit the gas!”
Bob K. – 1989 Cadillac Eldorado (Clarkston,MI)
“I have always owned K&N filters and I feel that the AFE filter I bought is as good if not better. I have only had it a month so tme will tell the true results.”
John B. – 2004 Nissan Titan (Methuen,MA)
“fit was a little tight, but performance has been great, some airflow noise under acceleration, pleased with value so far”
“I received the replacement air filter element and, after looking at it, I was confused as to how it was to be installed. The instructions offered no help. It required a call to AFE to confirm what I thought – the original housing needed to have a paper element removed and then the AFE filter would be installed backwards in to the original housing – backwards to what I was used to. The filter acts as a basket – not a cone. After the call I got the correct info from AFE and the installation went well. The element has made a great increase in the throttle response and about 1 mpg increase. Except for the rather vague installation instructions this is a GREAT DEAL!”
Lucia B. – 2004 BMW 3-Series (Douglas,AZ)
“With the AFE air filter now installed and having driven my BMW 400 miles, my gas avg mi per gal has gone from approx 28 mpg to 30 mpg. not to mention better throttle response.”
Pete L. – 2004 Nissan Titan (Santee,CA)
“Great service. I ordered the filter and it got here the very next day. The fit was extremely tight and took some muscle and some lubricant to close the top of the filter. It has increased my gas milage by about 2 miles per gallon. Overall, great product.”
