History
[edit]The aFe product line includes over 2,300 applications, all of which are manufactured in Corona, California.[1] The aFe Power product line-up includes air filters, air intake and exhaust systems for most late-model cars and trucks.
The Blade Runner inlet manifold was released in 2007. In the fall of 2007, aFe added diesel fluid filters for diesel applications. In 2008, aFe introduced the Aries 1 and Aries 2 filters and intakes for popular powersport applications. In 2009, the company released the Bladerunner intercooler for sport compacts.
In 2011, the company released a new turbocharger and Scorcher Programmer product lines.
aFe produces three versions of air filter media, including their original Pro 5R, Pro Guard 7 and Pro Dry S. The Pro 5R media is a five-layer cotton gauze media. The patented Pro-Guard 7 combined the Pro 5R media with the addition of two layers of synthetic media. Both of these media require filter-recharging oil. The Pro Dry S media is a three-layer synthetic media and requires no filter oil.
aFe specializes in the diesel truck performance aftermarket with a line-up of products for these applications.[2] aFe's Pro Guard D2 filter program includes oil, fuel and transmission filters.
