Buick Century Air Filter Box
The Buick Century Air Filter Box is designed to prevent debris and dust from reaching the engine. It houses the replaceable paper filter element and directs the incoming airflow through this element before the mixture reaches the intake. Residing between the opening of the front grille and the throttle body, the Air Filter Box exclusively allows filtered air to move to combustion, preventing harmful abrasion from particles grinding away at pistons, rings, and cylinder walls. The moisture and road splash protection given by the Air Filter Box further safeguards performance in the rain and snow. On early Century models, there was a two-piece plastic Air Filter Box. The connection of the two halves was by way of simple clips. Later models adopted a more robust hinged style. This also saw integration of the resonator chambers which help silence intake noise without choking intake flow. Both perform the same job, but the later design makes for faster filter swaps and smoother airflow routing. Through the decades, Buick has refined the shape to suit evolving engine bays; however, all Buick units still connect to flexible ducts and drain away excess water so that each Century engine is powerful and efficient through an Air Filter Box.
Each OEM Buick Century Air Filter Box we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
