        That's a good question. The stock set up is little more than loose 
        weave steel wool soaked in oil... I don't think it stops a lot of 
        dust, etc. Its' a source of maintainance (you have to soak them in 
        solvent occasionally, and then re soak the wool in oil. If you're 
        planning performance mods I'd go with modernizing the air filters 
        too. It will help lengthen the life of that spiffy new engine
