advanced FLOW engineering (aFe) is a manufacturer of high performance automotive cold air intake systems, performance air filters, fluid filters, throttle spacers and exhaust systems. aFe is headquartered in Corona, California in two facilities totaling 95,000 sq. ft. including their 77,000 sq. ft. operating facility, warehouse and engineering center along with a 15,000 sq. ft. exhaust system-manufacturing facility.

aFe was founded in 1999 by Shahriar “Nick” Niakan to address the demands of performance enthusiasts for a high quality performance air filter. aFe was originally headquartered in a 3,500 sq. ft. facility located in Corona, CA.

aFe’s product line up currently includes over 1,200 applications, which are all designed, developed and manufactured in their Corona, CA location. The product line-up includes performance air filters, air intake systems for most late model cars and trucks. In the fall of 2007, aFe added diesel fluid filters and exhaust systems for the popular diesel applications. New for 2008 are aFe’s new Aries 1 and Aries 2 performance filters and intakes for popular powersport applications. aFe offers 3-different filter media including their original Pro 5R, Pro Guard 7 and Pro Dry S. The Pro 5R media is a progressive 5 layer cotton gauze media to maximize filtration and airflow. The patented Pro-Guard 7 is their 7-layer filter media combining the Pro 5R media with the addition of two additional layers of synthetic media for maximum protection for extreme use. Both of these medias require aFe’s filter recharging oil. The brand new Pro Dry S media is a two layer synthetic media that is designed as the next generation of filter media and requires no filter oil for maximum convenience.

aFe is a major player in the diesel truck performance aftermarket with a complete line-up of products for these popular applications. aFe’s new Pro Guard D2 filter program includes high performance oil, fuel and transmission filters designed to filter and maximize delivery of protective fluids better than any competitive product. Their new Blade Runner Intake manifold released in 2007 continues aFe’s push toward complete airflow management systems. To finish off that strategy, aFe also offers a complete line up of performance exhaust systems for diesel applications available in both stainless and aluminized steel.

aFe is also the winningest intake in NHRDA (National Hot Rod Diesel Association). aFe also is an associate sponsor of Allan Pflueger’s and Chuck Foreman’s off-road racing trucks. In the 2007 Baja 1000, Pflueger Racing’s Truck logged over 1400 miles and didn’t have to touch the Pro Guard 7 filter once and Chuck Foreman won the 2007 Baja 1000 with an aFe intake system using the Pro Guard 7 filter.
