Abstract
Air filter and silencers comprise an air filter element having an annular body with openings at opposed ends. A top is attached over one of ends, has an outer flange sealed to the element, and includes a central section extending across the air filter element end. The top central section has a convex-shaped geometry with a radius of curvature projecting outwardly and away from the air filter element. The top central section includes a sound deadening material directed towards the air filter element. The top central section has a radius of curvature greater than the radius of an inside diameter of the air filter element. The air filter and silencer is used with an air filter assembly that includes a housing removably attached to the air filter and silencer, and that has an internal chamber projecting axially into the air filter and silencer with a sound deadening material disposed therein.
