The name QUIETLINE gives us a hint as to the design of this system. It actually acts as a muffler to quiet down the noise from the intake. There is negligible pressure in the filter box as there is way more area for air to escape over and around the head and cylinder than there is in the hole to the airbox.
Hope this helps. Have a GREAT day !

This is interesting! I note that the part numbers for the air cleaner box ARE Kohler part numbers. Was Kohler connected in some ways with Cub Cadet to produce the Quietline series? I also wonder if these airboxes were specific to Cub Cadet and not other manufacturer using Kohler in their equipment?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
