Detailed Description

Bosch Workshop Air Filter 5481WS is engineered as an OE-style replacement for the Chevrolet Corvette air intake system. The pleated media design helps capture outside particles before they enter the engine, while the polyurethane sealing edge supports a stable fit in the filter housing. This combination helps maintain airflow quality and engine cleanliness in a form factor suited to the Corvette platform.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application. Bosch 5481WS is a practical choice when replacing a worn or restricted engine air filter on 1990-1996 Chevrolet Corvette models.

What It Helps Address

• Restricted airflow caused by a dirty or loaded air filter
• Dust and debris entering the intake tract
• Reduced filtration performance from an aging filter element
• Seal leakage around a hardened or damaged filter edge
• Routine air filter service on Chevrolet Corvette models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the air filter housing shape and dimensions before installation. Bosch 5481WS is a panel filter, so it should be seated evenly in the airbox with the seal fully aligned around the perimeter. Inspect the housing for dirt, leaves, or debris before closing the cover to help preserve filtration performance.
