FA-2317 High-Flow Washable Air Filter – Replaces OEM 2317-Style Air Filters

$769.00

Full Long Description (Mechanic Authority)

After decades working on heavy-duty diesel engines, I’ve learned that intake restriction almost never shows up as a sudden failure. It shows up as higher EGTs, lazy throttle response, excess soot, and DPF systems that regen more than they should. OEM 2317 paper filters do their job when they’re new, but once they load with dirt, restriction climbs fast.

That’s why I designed the FA-2317.

This is a high-flow, washable air filter, engineered to maintain airflow over time instead of choking the intake as miles stack up. The synthetic filter media resists collapse and airflow drop-off under sustained load, keeping the turbo operating in its efficiency range and combustion stable.

Sealing matters just as much as airflow. The FA-2317 uses OEM-matched sealing geometry so air goes through the filter — not around it. No bypass means better protection for the turbo, charge-air cooler, and engine internals.

Instead of throwing away paper filters every service interval, you wash the FA-2317, oil it correctly, reinstall it, and keep running. One filter replaces years of disposable elements, reduces downtime, and lowers long-term operating cost without sacrificing engine protection.

Compatibility Note:
If your truck or equipment calls for an OEM 2317-style air filter, the FA-2317 is a direct drop-in replacement with no modifications required.

7. Competitor Differentiation (Mechanic Truth)

Disposable paper filters are designed to be replaced, not to maintain airflow. As they load with dirt, restriction climbs and performance drops.

I built the FA-2317 to hold airflow steady over time, not just look good when it’s clean. Washable media keeps restriction lower, sealing surfaces actually seal, and the filter doesn’t become trash after one dirty service cycle.

Disposable filters keep you buying. A properly engineered washable filter keeps your engine breathing right and your operating costs under control.
