Basically there are two different types of EMI:
Conducted thru wires that would affect your vehicle radio
Radiated that would be generated by making or breaking electrical contact
The in line filters are to reduce the conducted EMI. All those pesky ground
straps
that the vehicle will run just fine without are to try to make a faraday
cage out of
the cab and engine compartment to contain and prevent the radiated EMI from
escaping.
