Ducati Monster 797 Air Filter 2017-2021 | Sprint P037-EX High-Flow Performance

Why Choose the Sprint P037-EX Waterproof Air Filter for Your Monster 797

The Sprint Filter P037-EX is an ultra-fine, waterproof air filter engineered for 2017-2021 Ducati Monster 797 motorcycles ridden in mud, water, and dirt. It filters debris as small as 37 microns while delivering 4,500 L/m²/sec of airflow, equal to Sprint Filter's class-leading P08 road and race filter. This dry, reusable filter installs as a direct OEM replacement with no modifications. Perfect for dual sport and adventure riders who want maximum intake protection without oiling, washing, or giving up airflow. Designed for mud and wet conditions, not for sand or fine dust.

Common Questions

Is the Sprint P037-EX really waterproof?

Yes. Sprint Filter's patented PTFE (Teflon) treatment gives the polyester fabric a water-resistant barrier. Sprint Filter is the only air filter manufacturer in the world that produces waterproof filters for internal combustion engines.

Can I use the P037-EX in sand or fine dust?

No. The P037-EX is built for demanding conditions with mud, water, and dirt. For sand, desert, and fine dust, choose the Sprint Filter T12 (7-micron) or P14 (14-micron).

Do I need to oil this filter?

No, and you should not. Oil can compromise filtration and the waterproof treatment. If you oil it by accident, blot away the excess, wash the filter with a common detergent until the oil is gone, blow it dry with compressed air, then reinstall it.

How often do I need to clean this filter?

Blow it out with compressed air about every 10,000-15,000 km (6,000-9,000 miles) under normal conditions, and more often after heavy mud or dusty riding. For a very dirty filter, wash it with a common detergent, let it dry completely, and blow it out with compressed air before reinstalling.

Does this require ECU tuning?

Usually not. The P037-EX is a direct replacement built to work within your stock ECU's parameters. Heavily modified bikes may benefit from a professional tune to use the extra airflow.

Will this void my warranty?

No. Installing an aftermarket air filter does not void your motorcycle warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. This is a direct replacement part that requires no modifications to the air box.

How is this different from oiled cotton filters?

Oiled cotton and foam filters need periodic washing and re-oiling, and over-oiling can contaminate the intake. The P037-EX is a dry filter with no oil to apply, and its waterproof polyester keeps airflow high where cotton loses permeability as layers are added.
