Information\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe air-filter housing is an important component of the engine’s intake system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtmospheric air enters the intake system and passes through the air-filter element located inside this housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe filter removes contaminants such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Dust\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Road dirt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Sand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Leaves and larger

turbocharger\/intake system, depending on engine specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA correctly sealed airbox is important because the engine should receive filtered air through
