LOL! stealerships at it again. I could possibly see them saying this about aftermarket intakes. But HFC??? what a load of BS, walk in there tell them they are D bags, and find mod friendly dealer if you can.

So what's the steel wool for? Sound suppression?

Are you packing it into the HFCs? Test pipes?
