Replacement Element

The MR. GASKET replacement element (SKU MRG1486A) is a universal round air filter designed for mechanics and automotive enthusiasts seeking reliable intake filtration across a wide range of vehicle platforms. This 6.5-inch diameter, 2-inch tall paper filter element replaces worn or clogged OEM units and serves as the core component in custom and performance air intake systems. Whether you're maintaining stock airflow or upgrading to a high-flow intake setup, this universal replacement element provides the foundation for clean, unrestricted engine breathing without modification to existing housings.

Constructed from premium white paper media, this replacement element uses a pleated design that maximizes surface area for efficient particulate capture while minimizing restriction and pressure drop across the filter face. The paper construction resists moisture and maintains structural integrity under sustained engine vacuum, ensuring consistent performance across extended service intervals. At 0.44 lbs and compact dimensions (8.3 x 2.15 x 8.45 inches), the element fits most round filter housings found in universal intake kits, allowing technicians to swap worn media without replacing the entire assembly. The pleated geometry also facilitates longer filter life compared to flat-panel designs, reducing maintenance frequency in typical driving conditions.

This replacement element is ideal for DIY restorers, shop technicians, and performance tuners maintaining aftermarket intake manifolds and custom air intake systems on domestic and import vehicles. The universal 6.5-inch round format accommodates both stock and modified air cleaner housings, making it a practical solution for engine bay conversions and intake upgrades. Installation requires only removal of the housing cover and secure seating of the pleated element—no specialized tools or technical knowledge needed. Stock this replacement element in your service inventory or garage for rapid filter maintenance on multiple vehicle platforms.
