AFE Air Filter Installation - A Stands for Air

2005 Ford F350 Front Side View

Standing out in the world of air intake companies is an admirable task, right up there with trying to run for President with no qualifications. Either you make a quality product that does what you say it will do, or your company will not survive.

Advance Flow Engineering is an up-and-coming filter manufacturer that probably makes the filter on your truck with someone else's label stamped on it. When we contacted aFe for a new filter for Ford's new 6.0L V-8 diesel, we were welcomed with a new easy-to-install, drop-in, Stage 1 filter housing replacement. New OE filters cost $40 or more at local parts stores, and we wanted more power, longer lasting performance, and something that wasn't made of cheap plastic. Recommended by marketing manager Paul Hardley, we ordered kit number 54-10391, which replaces the stock drop-in filter and assembly with a new high-flow cotton filter and metal heat shield, and it is backed by a lifetime warranty. For $350 and less than 20 minutes, we had a better breathing diesel with 14 more horsepower and almost 50 more lb-ft of torque turning the wheels. Check out the easy install, and contact aFe for more information.
