S&B Filters
S&B Filters Cold Air Intakes, Air Filters, Intake Elbows, Body Mounts, Fuel Tanks and More
S&B Filters is a manufacturer of cold air intakes, air filters and other performance parts, specializing in diesel and gas trucks and SUVs. S&B Filters designs and engineers intake systems to greatly reduce airflow restriction, while still protecting your engine. S&B Filters continually tests against the competitors following ISO 5011 standards. S&B Filters keeps quality high and pricing low by making almost everything in-house, right here in the U.S. S&B tests to the internationally accepted ISO 5011 Standard when testing for airflow, efficiency, and capacity. This is the same protocol used by most of the large automakers. Airflow testing shows us how we compare to stock and aftermarket competitors. The goal is to beat both. S&B Filters tests for efficiency to make sure that your engine is protected from debris while sucking in even more air. Lastly, S&B Filters monitors the capacity of the filter to see how much dirt it can hold before needing to be serviced.
S&B Filters is constantly testing competitor products in order to be the best. When they make a nice kit, we redesigned S&B’s version and made it better. That is just healthy competition. S&B Filters competitors do not like the fact that these test results are published for public view. Instead of complaining, they should just work harder and try to… Get Better! It is important to know how S&B Filters stacks up against stock and competitor products to be the best. S&B Filters mounts each intake system onto highly-calibrated test equipment to measure the airflow from zero to the max CFM of the vehicle. S&B Filters then compares the results and make design changes until they have maximized the airflow while still protecting your engine. Currently, S&B Filters offers a wide selection of aftermarket products, including Air Filters, Cold Air Intakes, Air Intake Particle Separators, Helmet Particle Separator. UTV Intake Particle Separators, Silicone Body Mounts, High Capacity Fuel Tanks, Fuel Transfer Pumps, Jeep Hood Scoops, Turbo Screens, MAP Sensor Spacer, Filter Cleaning Kits, Filter Wraps, Intake Elbows, Intake Scoops, Crankcase Breathers, and Silicone Tool Trays
While airflow is important, it is equally critical to ensure that your investment is protected. To do so, we first determine the max CFM the vehicle will generate at wide open throttle as it is more difficult to stop dust the greater the airflow. We then start pulling this amount of air through the intake while literally shooting fine particles of dust at the filter. Any dust bypassing the filter will be caught in the absolute blanket to determine the efficiency. Some competitors have testing done at low CFMs in order to show higher efficiency rates, so beware. We're not kidding. S&B Filters testing is so controlled that they even heat the absolute blankets pre and post testing in order to remove the humidity. The absolute blankets catch any dust that gets past the filter during testing in order to determine the efficiency rate. Removing the humidity ensures that you are only weighing what actually bypassed the filter. Protecting your engine while providing better airflow is top priority. Accesspeed is proud to offer S&B Filters products to our customers. With our lowest price match guarantee, you will always find the best combination of price and selection at Accesspeed.

Do aftermarket high performance air filters add horsepower and torque compared to stock?
Yes, aftermarket performance air filters can increase your horsepower and torque. If you are upgrading from a brand-new OEM factory filter, you may notice a slight difference, but the true results are typically discovered on the dyno or the racetrack. At the same time, your engine will enjoy increased fuel efficiency, but only if you can keep your throttle foot away from the floor board.

At the same time, your engine will enjoy increased fuel efficiency, but only if you can keep your throttle foot away from the floor board.
How Often Should You Change the Engine Air Filter?
The best answer is to follow the owner’s manual suggestion for your vehicle and engine. However, if you drive in more adverse conditions, such as dirt and salty roads, Accesspeed suggests inspecting and (when needed) changing your air filter more frequently. Make sure you document the mileage each time you replace your air filter.
What are the common signs and symptoms of a bad air filter?
- Check Engine Light comes on.
- Noticeable reduction in fuel economy.
- Noticeable reduced in performance.
- Air filter appears very dirty upon inspection.
- Engine misfires or sputters.
- Unusual engine sounds.
- Smell of gasoline when starting the car.
- Black sooty smoke or flames exiting the exhaust.
Does changing the air filter make a difference?
Replacing a dirty air filter can increase fuel efficiency and improve performance. A dirty, clogged, or damaged air filter limits the amount of air flowing into your engine. This limitation forces your engine to work harder, reducing performance and fuel efficiency.
Do aftermarket air filters improve performance?
Yes, aftermarket performance air filters can improve performance, as proven by dyno and track results thousands of shops and racers.
