Air Filter - Primo

The VOLANT Air Filter - Primo (model 5153) is a premium conical intake filter designed for automotive enthusiasts seeking improved engine breathing and air quality in their daily drivers or modified vehicles. Built by VOLANT, a trusted name in performance filtration, this intake element replaces restrictive OEM filters and serves as a direct upgrade for drivers who want more responsive throttle feel, cleaner combustion, and extended engine life without sacrificing reliability or warranty coverage on most applications.

This air filter features a conical design with a 7-inch base diameter, 4.75-inch top diameter, and 9-inch height, engineered to maximize surface area while maintaining optimal airflow dynamics. The filter element is constructed from high-quality cotton media, a proven material choice among mechanics and tuners because it balances dust-trapping efficiency with low restriction—cotton offers superior flow compared to paper elements and remains reusable after proper cleaning. The 4.5-inch flange diameter ensures a secure fit, while the black and red coloring provides visual appeal and easy identification in the engine bay during routine maintenance or inspections.

This Primo filter works best for vehicle owners running stock or mildly modified intake systems who value longevity and ease of service. The cotton construction makes cleaning straightforward—compressed air or gentle hand-washing restores performance, eliminating repeated replacement costs over thousands of miles. Installation is straightforward for any owner with basic mechanical skill, requiring only removal of the stock filter assembly and positioning of the new element into the existing intake tract, making it an ideal first modification for those new to performance upgrades.
