About this product
The Viair 450C Air Compressor (model 45040) is a 12V unit with a maximum pressure of 150 PSI and a 100% duty cycle. Designed for performance/custom fitment, it comes with a 1-year warranty and includes mounting hardware, a spare air filter, and a remote filter hose. This silver-finished compressor is sealed and can be placed at various locations on a vehicle. It includes a California Prop 65 warning and is manufactured in China.
Our take
For those needing a reliable air source for performance or custom applications, the Viair 450C is a strong contender. Its 100% duty cycle at 150 PSI is a significant advantage, meaning it can run continuously without needing to cool down, which is crucial for demanding air systems. The inclusion of mounting hardware and a spare air filter is a nice touch, adding value to the package. While it offers broad placement options, the 'adjustable: no' spec means once installed, its physical orientation isn't going to change. Originating from China and having a Prop 65 warning are standard considerations for many automotive products.
