"Next we're going to talk about the types of air filters that you can get. What we have here is like a custom high performance air filter. As you can see, it doesn't look like the normal air filter that would be in the vehicle. And what this does, the high performance air filter gives you more air flow. Which the more intake of air that you can get, the cooler the engine system runs and the more it breathes. So the more air coming in, then it's kind of forced induction. Kind of, on a smaller scale. But what generally what you're looking for when you go and get your filter, is a paper filter. You can look it up in the parts house or the parts store. And they usually have a book that has all the applications for every vehicle. And you find the proper air filter for what you're using. They do make high performance filters that you can put in the actual air box that comes on the stock vehicle. So if that's what your intent is, then you just find the proper filter and you put it into the vehicle. And the cleaner the air, the better the vehicle runs. So that is doing, in a nutshell, air filters."
