Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle air filter system with pipe elements for feed and discharge of an air flow, particularly for an internal combustion engine. To remove water which is filtered out of the air flow, under the bottom of the housing of the air filter a tube element is attached.

In order to enable smooth and reliable assembly of the tube element, the tube element according to the invention is attached to the pipe element by means of carrier elements. In the assembly of the pipe element the tube element is automatically located at the proper position in the installation space. Here it is protected against kinking by its connection to the pipe element.
