Following is a transcript of the video:
Narrator: I know what you're thinking. No, this is not one of those viral slime videos. You're looking at a process called extrude honing. But what exactly is it?
Gary Kubo: Extrude honing is a hydraulically forced abrasive flow machining process.
Narrator: That's Gary Kubo. He's a research and development specialist for a company called Extrude Hone AFM. And to put his definition in simple terms; extrude honing forces abrasive material through metal passages via hydraulic pressure. Depending on the item, this could have a multitude of benefits. But for now, let's focus on how it can make your car faster. This is how putty can increase your horsepower. To really understand the benefits for your car, you'll need to understand the importance of airflow to an engine. So we spoke with Edward Hwang. He's been an automotive technician for over 15 years.
Edward Hwang: You need three basic things in order to have an ignition event. So that's gonna be air, fuel, and spark or something to create an ignition. Air from the atmosphere enters into the engine bay through some sort of ducting, initially hitting the intake air filter through intake tubing, past the throttle body, into the intake manifold where the air is evenly distributed into each individual cylinder, into the combustion chamber past the intake valves. If we increase the airflow to an engine, the engine's computer system will then match that amount of air with the proper amount of fuel. If we increase fuel, we can increase power.
Narrator: And we all know what happens with more power. So how does this putty increase airflow? Well, the answer is literally in the putty.
Gary: The putty is made out of a proprietary silicone polymer and it contains specialized silicone carbide particles and as the process of flowing goes through a part it [has a] honing effect.
Narrator: So, a silicone polymer, the putty, carries an abrasive material, the silicon carbide particles. Let's make this simple and see how the process works on an intake manifold. The intake manifold is responsible for evenly distributing the air into each cylinder of an engine. As the particles are pushed through the intake manifold via hydraulic pressure, they begin sanding or grinding away at buildup and smoothing imperfections. This is what increases airflow and turns your car into a certified speed demon. But, not every time.
Gary: Well, the results will vary depending on the part. If you're starting from scratch, say like a rough unshaped ported head, I mean the results - the improvements could be drastic.
Narrator: But, depending on how much power you're adding to your vehicle increasing the airflow may not be enough.
Edward: So when we talk about airflow, we have to talk about balance. The exhaust has to be considered as well. The engine in its basic form is an air pump. So if we have an increased volume of air coming in we have to be able to reject the spent gases out. So if we have a very large intake but a smaller exhaust diameter, for instance, it can actually choke the engine.
Narrator: So, if you noticed your car losing power over time you may not need that new, fancy turbo to reclaim your precious speed. You may just need to clean out some key parts that help airflow to the engine.

Porting is a way to smooth out the internal chambers of your intake and exhaust which allows more efficient air and fuel flow/mixture. Not sure what they charge but your other option is to grab an aftermarket intake and heads which is designed for maximum air and fuel mixture.

Its putty loaded with abrasive that polishes the inside of your intake manifold and exhaust to decrease the resistance to airflow in your engine which is then supposed to increase horsepower.

[@joebmarxen]

[@linbinnash]

[@PoppingMagnus]

If you have this problem: try to get your engine good and warm and give it full throttle under load many times and it might help drastically. If not, then check your car at your local workshop and get it sorted as it can be many other things. This is more a Diesel problem with soot building up in the engine over time, if the engine is not warm enough from extended drives or if you never give the car full throttle to make the car push its own soot out. This gel can be good, but it is deffenetly not always gonne be necessary for a good result.

[@rvarghese3062]

@ 1.12 that something to create an ignition is also called compression in diesel vehicles....

[@awsemo1000]

This is essentially a new way for intakes and cylinder heads to be ported/polished. The goal is to remove the rough casting which disturbs the air coming in the system, a polished surface wont slow down air as much as a non-machined cast part. Porting is usually done on race-cars and auto manufacturers do not do this from factory.

[@Another_Random_Dave]

Upgrade your exhaust lubricant for lower viscosity turbulent trajectory. Works wonders!

[@ryanallen1040]

Why is the air going through the alternator and then up through the exhaust?

[@Optimusprimerules1]

So basically, the putty cleans out the ducts where air would flow, resulting in a more clear passage, which means more air flow. More air flow = more fuel = more power

[@mynameisnotimportant2854]

I’m sorry but I suspect this isn’t going to work with newer cars because according to the dealer, the cars have a microprocessor chip in the cars engine control unit that can control the amount of air that goes into the cars combustion unit. I was told this is the reason why you don’t leave the car on when you’re putting gas in the car. Because the engine has a sensor that can detect something in the air causing the cars “engine check light” to turn on. And when the cars engine check light comes on, you have to take it to the dealer, and wait 4 hours, and spend $300.00 for them to reset the check engine light

[@JB73691]

Change entire exhaust system to Headers and remove cat converter , fee flow exhaust or strait pipe . Need to increasing spark, more fuel, change timing ,mechanical, valves, camshaft, Engine mapping , Boost turbo, supercharger, higher piston compression ratios, higher octane fuel the list can go on. So increase volumetric efficiency.

Unless you do this a bunch of times resulting in larger ports, it isn't really doing much. You get more gain from porting runners and cleaning mold flash than you do from polishing/smoothing runners. A little bit of turbulence is actually good. You just want it consistent.

[@lordgunther4674]

Doesnt the air the car intakes go OUT of the engine not in?

[@paultymikiw9681]

You actually want turbulence in the intake so the air does a roll and twist as it enters the cylinder. Smoothing out the intake walls will only speed up the air going into the in the combustion chamber which in turns means less air density which means less air in general which means LESS POWER. If you showed what the intake walls looked like before and after maybe some of us would actually buy into this.
