Wix Racing air filter — pleated-paper replacement element for performance engines, high airflow & durable construction

WIX Racing Filters Air Filter is a high-strength pleated-paper intake filter engineered to improve airflow and protect engines in performance and racing applications. WIX Racing Filters combine durable materials and precise pleat geometry to deliver reliable air filtration where engines demand cleaner airflow under high-stress conditions.

How does this filter improve airflow without sacrificing protection?

The pleated-paper media is arranged to maximize surface area so more air can pass through while still trapping dust and particulates. WIX selects stronger adhesives and media binders to keep pleats stable at higher flow rates and temperatures.

• High surface-area pleats for increased airflow capacity
• Robust media binds to maintain shape under load
• Tight particle retention for cleaner intake air

What materials and construction make it durable for racing use?

WIX uses reinforced pleated paper combined with high-strength end caps and sealed seams to withstand vibration and heat commonly found in race environments. The construction reduces collapse or deformation during heavy acceleration and sustained high RPMs.

• Pleated-paper filtration media with reinforcement
• Durable end caps and strong adhesive seals
• Quality control from a filtration specialist brand

How should I maintain and replace a WIX racing air filter?
