Baldwin Filters PA2604 Air Filter

The Baldwin Filters PA2604 is an automotive engine outer air filter with a round design. It is intended for vehicle owners and mechanics who need a replacement filter that fits the specified housing dimensions. The element-only construction means it installs directly into an existing air-box assembly without additional hardware. Buyers who want a panel-style filter or a complete housing kit should look elsewhere.

Upgrade from worn or clogged outer air filter

This filter replaces a worn or clogged outer air element in compatible automotive applications. The jump is worth it when the original element shows visible dirt buildup, reduced airflow or has reached the service interval recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. It restores proper filtration surface area and flow characteristics for the engine intake system. Buyers who need an inner filter element or a different size will not be served by this part.

Direct drop-in installation

Installation is a direct drop-in: open the air-box, remove the old element and seat the new filter by its 11 1/2 in outside diameter and 15 7/8 in height. What usually goes wrong is installing the element in the wrong orientation or failing to seal the air-box lid, which lets unfiltered air bypass the filter. Ensure the housing is clean and the lid clamps securely after replacement. No tools beyond basic hand tools are typically required.
