ProForm 10-inch Air Cleaner Assembly Chrome — 2-inch Element, Dropped Base, Dual-Flange Fit for Classic Cars

The ProForm Deluxe 10" air cleaner assembly is a chrome, steel 2" element intake kit with a dropped base and dual carb flange fitments for a high-flow, finished look.

Built to dress the engine bay while improving airflow, this ProForm kit combines a 10-inch round housing, a 2-inch high-performance filter element, and a dropped base to clear space over carburetors. The chrome-plated steel construction offers corrosion resistance and a polished appearance, and the unit ships as a complete kit with flanges sized to match common carburetor openings. Manufactured in Taiwan, it’s an easy-to-install accessory suited to classic cars, street rods, and performance builds that need both clearance and style.

Will this air cleaner fit my carburetor?

The kit includes two flange sizes—5-1/8" and 4-7/32"—so it fits a range of carburetor throat diameters. Verify the carb throat measurement on your carb to match one of the included flanges before ordering.

• Includes 5-1/8" and 4-7/32" carb flange options
• 10" round housing matches common aftermarket carburetors
• Dropped base adds vertical clearance for taller carbs or linkage

How does the dropped base affect installation and engine clearance?

The dropped base shifts the filter housing downward, creating additional clearance between the carburetor and the air filter. That extra room helps accommodate taller carburetor setups, intake manifolds, and aftermarket linkages without trimming or spacers.

• Provides clearance for tall intake components and linkages
• Eliminates the need for costly manifold modifications in many cases
• Maintains a low-profile look while increasing usable space

What are the materials, finish, and durability expectations?

The assembly is formed from steel and finished with chrome plating for a durable, polished exterior. Steel construction ensures structural strength; chrome provides a corrosion-resistant surface and a showroom-ready appearance that’s easy to clean and maintain.

• Steel housing for strength and heat resistance
• Chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and shine
• 2" element sized for higher airflow and easier maintenance

How simple is installation and what comes in the kit?

Designed as a bolt-on accessory, the ProForm Deluxe assembly includes the housing, 2" element, dropped base, and dual carb flange options to streamline installation. Basic hand tools are usually all that’s required, and most installers can complete the swap in under an hour.

• Complete kit: housing, element, dropped base, two flanges
• Fastener set and gasket-ready surfaces for a secure seal
• Simple bolt-on installation; no machining typically required
