Great idea...surprised that I didn't think of that first. Never tried it, but if one were to go to...say...WalMart, the mall for a day, or any place with lots of traffic and ask young & old, male & female, ask them if they know what filter they use, maybe 90+% of the time they won't say K&N?

Another question about the K&N claim. When they say "Increase horsepower and acceleration," what.


Just yesterday you kept stressing that the so-called claims meant nothing to you...thanks for letting me change your view so quickly.

A K&N supporter could always claim that FRAM sells more filters because one K&N per car is all you ever need...

My question wasn't how often, it was what brand of filter do you use. K&N probably wouldn't be mentioned even 3% of the time.

Ummmm you never had a question. I asked 3 different questions and you ignored them and started talking about something different. You said K&N accounts for 1% or less of the total sales of air filters. But now you are changing what you said....

Exactly....and thats one reason why K&N sells less filters than most other companies. Thats one reason why other companies get more money out of it's customers pockets! I'm glad someone answered the questions. 1stToyota has been ignoring them.....

Not only yesterday, but for the past week. I haven't changed my view. I have tested the K&N on 2 Yaris's and have showed my results to back up anything I have claimed. But you make a claim without any back up information. But I'm just trying to help you realize why your claim of "It's false because I said so" doesn't have much weight.

And I'm glad I'm still taking up your time and I've got you all fired up and going back to look at old post!! Didn't know we were keeping score. Thats so sweet.

You're not swift enough to set me up with your desperate and loaded questions.

That doesn't quite add up for their K&N oil filters...that might sell about .001% of the time, does it?

Wrong...said where's the proof? Did you find it yet?

Too late to try and change what happened, pawn...you're the one that wept that I am controlling your vacation time and that I would keep you "bouncing" for another week.

And real sorry that you're not up to speed yet...didn't look up old postings, silly, just clicked the reply number...you know, the one listed with every posting? Gives the numbers right there, fanboi.

p.s. Fram, STP, and Purolator all have claims on their boxes that their filters will increase MPG and maximize performance. But there is no proof on the box, just like K&N.

Another question about the K&N claim. When they say "Increase horsepower and acceleration," what do you think they are basing that on. Does it say, "compared to stock setup" or does it say "compared to a dirty air filter"? No it doesn't say either one. It's an opened ended claim. So when you read it, you are probably thinking about the stock setup and maybe they are talking about a dirty air filter.
See, I just snipped, I didn't forge, and I sure didn't lie and try to make you out to be some kind of pedo.

LOL....here we go again with you changing the subject. I give a reason why K&N air filters sells are where they are at and you start talking about oil filters, which has nothing to do with anything we have talked about in any threads. You come up with claims but without any proof and then when someone does have proof to back something up, you change the subject. Like when we were talking about Toyota's and you started talking about Mini's.
