14x2-1/8 Paper Element

The 14x2-1/8 Paper Element from TRANS-DAPT is a universal round air filter designed for custom and modified automotive applications where aftermarket intake systems demand quality filtration. This 14-inch diameter, 2.125-inch tall filter element serves mechanics and enthusiasts building high-flow intake setups, turbocharged engines, and modified carburetor systems that require drop-in replacement elements with reliable dust and debris capture. Whether you're upgrading an older carbureted platform or integrating a custom air box into a modern restomod, this paper element delivers consistent airflow while maintaining engine protection.

Constructed from premium white paper media, the 14x2-1/8 Paper Element uses pleated geometry to maximize surface area within its compact cylindrical form, reducing restriction and supporting higher CFM demands compared to flat-panel designs. The paper material provides excellent dust-holding capacity and low initial restriction, making it ideal for naturally aspirated and forced-induction applications where sustained airflow efficiency matters. At just 2 pounds, the element remains lightweight without sacrificing structural integrity, and the 14.75 x 4 x 18-inch package dimensions allow fitment into most custom air box enclosures and specialty intake housings used in performance modifications.

This element suits builders working on universal intake manifolds, carbureted street machines, supercharged engines, and any application requiring a standard round filter form factor without OEM-specific mounting constraints. Installation involves simple drop-in placement into compatible air filter housings—no special tools or adapters needed. Service life depends on driving conditions; dusty environments and high-boost applications may require more frequent changes. For anyone seeking a reliable, versatile paper filter element for custom automotive builds, the TRANS-DAPT 14x2-1/8 provides the filtration foundation necessary to protect engine internals while maintaining responsive throttle response.
