I'm not going to watch a YouTube video to see what it is. A single picture with a few words would suffice.

Gee. That looks like an AC air filter for the application. Who would have thunk it?

To give a perspective of size. The somewhat small oem C8 air filter easily fits inside the massive C8 Halltech Cold Air Induction Nano filter. More Smooth Air = HP/TQ.

Smooth air and more of it creates better throttle body flow after passing through the nano dry or oiled filter. The Hall tech system catches particular matter and dust more effectively than the small paper oem filter while creating more HP/TQ.

Yes look at the title and then the picture to click on. Another “influencer” wanting to make money without having to do work in my opinion.

Unless it is a DIY video for something I want to tackle, there are no YouTube videos worth clicking on.
