the vehicle's existing audio system.

For high-stress applications
The Mann+Hummel Plastic-Aluminum Hybrid for Liquid Filter
Modules is designed for use in highly stressed applications. This
design gives the versatile plastic material the robustness for more
challenging applications to expand the variety of applications. A
skeleton made of aluminum improves stability, and is then covered in a plastic functional sheath in which all liquid-carrying elements are arranged. All high-stress areas, such as flange screw
connections or cover threads, are reinforced with the aluminum
skeleton, and the connecting elements for the fuel inlet and outlet
are molded directly from plastic.
