An air filtration system for purifying an air stream, such as the intake air for an internal combustion engine, including a system plate ( ), an unfiltered air zone ( ), a filter housing ( ) containing a filter element ( ), and a filtered air zone ( ). The filter element hermetically seals and separates the unfiltered air zone ( ) from the filtered air zone. The unfiltered air zone ( ) is configured by a first half shell ( ), which is connected to the system plate ( ) in a fixed, hermetically sealed manner. The filter housing ( ) is also connected to the system plate in a fixed and sealed manner. The permanent, air-tight connection of the first half shell to the system plate allows the air filtration system to be manufactured in a simpler, more rapid and more cost effective manner by obviating the need for seals and connecting elements, as well as the need to assemble such parts.
