Designed to reduce intake restriction while keeping dirt out, the WIX racing panel uses a urethane soft gasket and adhesive-formed pleats to maintain shape and a secure fit inside the housing. It’s a direct, purpose-made solution for technicians and enthusiasts who replace panel filters frequently and need consistent fitment and airflow behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the urethane soft sealing gasket improve fit and performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe urethane gasket compresses to create an even seal against the filter housing, preventing unfiltered air bypass without adding hard points that can deform with repeated service.

More surface area reduces pressure drop across the filter, allowing stronger intake flow and improved throttle response without sacrificing contaminant capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdhesive-formed pocket pleats hold shape under high airflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpanded media area lowers airflow resistance and pressure drop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePanel geometry tuned for typical racing intake footprints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the adhesive pocket pleat construction beneficial for maintenance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adhesive secures pleats in a consistent pattern so each filter arrives with predictable performance and easier installation.
