14in. Comp. Air Cleaner

The 14in. Comp. Air Cleaner from MR. GASKET is an essential intake component designed for street and performance engines seeking improved airflow and a classic muscle car aesthetic. This 14-inch compensator-style air cleaner assembly delivers the aggressive look that serious enthusiasts demand while maintaining practical functionality in modern engine bays. Built for carburetor applications, this unit combines vintage styling with reliable filtration, making it an ideal choice for resto-mod builds, hot rods, and traditional engine swap projects where both appearance and air quality matter.

The 14-inch diameter housing accommodates larger filter media, reducing intake restriction and promoting consistent air delivery to the carburetor during acceleration and cruise. MR. GASKET engineers the compensator design to balance airflow velocity with filter surface area—a critical factor for maintaining proper air-fuel mixture ratios across the RPM band. The steel and aluminum construction withstands engine bay heat and vibration, while the chrome-finished top and assembly weigh just 3.62 lbs, keeping intake system mass minimal and installation straightforward without requiring structural reinforcement or unusual mounting brackets.

Carburetor-fed engines, particularly in classic American muscle cars and custom hot rods, benefit most from this compensator air cleaner's balanced design and filtration efficiency. Installation fits standard carbureted intake manifolds where the 14.4 x 4.05 x 14.5-inch envelope clears typical hood panels and surrounding engine components. Mechanics and hobbyists appreciate the straightforward mounting process and the minimal tuning adjustment needed after installation, as the large filter area maintains stable air density for consistent jetting performance without requiring aggressive lean-out compensation.
