Frequently Asked Questions
Will Airaid 799-450, the Pre-Filter for 700-450/455/493 Filter(s), fit my primary filter?
Match the exact primary filter number, shape, base and top dimensions, height, and installation direction. Similar-looking filters can use different pre-filters.
What does an Airaid pre-filter protect against?
Its purpose depends on the exact material and application, but it can add a first layer against larger debris or harsh conditions while the primary filter performs the main filtration.
Does the pre-filter replace the main air filter?
No. It is used with the compatible primary filter and does not replace the filter media or its normal inspection and service requirements.
How should the pre-filter be cleaned?
Follow the current procedure for the exact pre-filter material. Inspect it and the primary filter together, and reinstall only when both are clean, dry, and undamaged.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm Airaid part number 799-450, the complete application, emissions classification, and all required components before disassembly.
- Open the air box or intake and protect the clean side from loose dirt and debris.
- Compare every seal, flange, panel, dimension, orientation, and clearance before seating the replacement component.
- Secure the housing or clamp, inspect the full intake path for leaks, and verify the filter cannot shift or contact surrounding parts.
- Reinspect sealing and fasteners after the initial drive cycle.
