Okay today we are actually doing a preview of a 2004 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler. We are looking at an intake produced by AFE, Advanced Flow Engineering. The intake that we have here is a stage 2. We do a different series of intakes. We offer stage 1, stage 2. Difference between a stage 1 and a stage 2 is a factory box. It is just a box in stage 1, when we add a torque tube it becomes a stage 2 in the AFE line up. We also offer sealed induction intakes which are completely enclosed for the people who like the sealed version. 00:36
On this intake here from AFE we are featuring it with a dry media filter which is our Pro Dry S. We have other options at AFE we have our 5-R, which is our performance filter, and we also offer a Pro Guard 7, which is our 7 layer filter. This filter here is a dry media filter from AFE. The cleaning installation of this is fairly simple. If I want to restore a dry filter since it is oil free, I can tap it and I am doing this here so you can see I am tapping out particles. I will get an 86 percent restoration of the filter. If I choose to restore it at 92 percent, I can take a vacuum and I can vacuum out the filter. And if I want 100 percent restoration, I will simply use soap and water, dip the filter in there for cleaning. It is a dry media filter. 01:28
We offer two other filters as I mentioned here. Which was the performance filter, which is a 5 layer cotton gauze filter from AFE. The performance filter gives you the highest amount of CFMs verses the percentage difference of the dry media. The other one we offer, I said, is the Pro Guard 7, which is a 7 layer. This is for the ultimate extreme, dirt conditions. This is 7 layers 5 layers are cotton 2 layers are synthetic material and each layer of this filter gets progressively smaller and smaller and smaller. This is for anybody who wants the most protection on an intake or a in filter this one is the best one out there on the market for protection. So you have convenience of a dry, you have got performance, and you have the protection. The protection of the Pro Guard 7 and the 5- R performance, these are oil filters, so cleaning on the oil filters are a little bit different. We sell a restore kit and a restore kit is where you take the solution, you will actually spray it on the filter, then you will actually rinse it off with water and then you will go into a re-oil stage. And the re-oil stage is basically where you are going to take the filter and you are going to take the oil and you are going to go roughly two strips in the middle of the filter around and you are going to let it set. As I would like to point out as oil will seep and find its way, you do not want to overdo your oil on the filter. It is not necessary as you can see for an oil filter, it almost looks dry. Oil will find its way. Oil will seep, so once again, when you do a restore for an oil filter give it time, let the oil seep and find its way cause it will. We also offer for filters for some people who like to have the option, say if I was running a filter of our standard dry I also make a pre-filter, which is a filter baggy as I want to refer to it. And simply, it goes over the filter so it gives you another layer of protection. So if I am off roading and I do not want to use a Pro Guard 7, but I want a little extra protection I can use a pre-filter. Pre-filters come in yellow, blue, and black, and red. 03:55
On this actual intake for AFE, as I mentioned earlier, it was a stage 2. Some of the features of AFE obviously is actually our box. Our box is actually a one piece system. One piece system that is actually welded and it is powder coated. The advantage points that we feel at the company to having a one piece is that you do not have to bolt a bunch of pieces together. And at that point in time some times you will see hardware gets loosened. That will not happen at AFE because we mold as one piece. Also you see a bolt seal on top here that is to finish off the product, gives it a nice resting from the top. You will also see in this one here where we weld the bracket mechanism into the intake. That is a feature that is welded on there so it can come out there for a quick and easy installation. That is what we strive on a lot is on an AFE intake is the installation process. It is very quick. Another detail is on this particular application, which is the Jeep. We have actually notched out where the cross bar is here for the engine compartment for the Jeep is that we actually run that through there, which is a detail. A lot of companies or product lines you will see either a smaller intake or they will make it where it is just a tube and a cone sitting on the end and that is where they are drawing the air. We still feel that we can maximize the most amount of air in the front end of this Jeep. So, we have actually notched this out, so will run through there. 05:24
The torque tube, which is the back section that runs over is actually designed it is a rolla molla tube, plastic. We use these for stage 2 intakes it actually, we feel that it actually, with the direction that this one is going, we can actually reduce the turbulence and a lot of build up from the stock one and and actually smooth and transition out the air flow verses stock. 05:49
