The air cleaner assembly is a protective housing designed to hold the air filter and shield it from engine bay heat and debris. Beyond filtration, it acts as a resonance chamber to reduce intake noise levels. A properly sealed housing is crucial for preventing unmetered and dirty air from bypassing the filter, ensuring only clean air reaches the engine for combustion.
A genuine housing provides a hermetic seal, preventing unfiltered "dirty air" from bypassing the filter and entering the engine.
