It is OK if you are talking about yourself. I was referring to me, not you. So now you are trying to tell me what I can say to myself? Wow, you really must think you are God.

Neither do I. I love how you're the fanboi who's either unwilling or unable to find proof that they do testing on every application to back their increased HP sales pitch that's on every air filter box.




Except the slurper that was owned enough to admit that I'm controlling them on their vacation.



Because Toyota won't install K&N on their vehicles even 1% of the time?
Losing HP? What was the weather like when you got those test results? And once again, I’m not the one that has a problem with their claim. I have not said it was true. I have not said it was false. So I need proof to show what? You said it was false but have no proof. You think that I’m a big company?? Wow, you really do need help. Maybe you are working too much. You need a vacation. I got plenty of time I could give you.

Why do you think Wix sells more filters than K&N?

I don't have a problem at all with you, or anybody else for that matter , for being unable and/or unwilling to provide proof that K&N tests every single one of their applications to see if the so-called HP increase is actually true.

Why does Toyota still choose not to use K&N so often?

You already asked that question a few pages back and I already gave you an answer. Why do you ignore my questions? Have I stumped God?

Why does FRAM sell more filters than K&N?

Not really for sure. The only way to tell is from the front bumper but even then there's not a whole lot to work with.

Sure, we all see the point that you're trying to make about K&N's 1% spot, and how you'd like to use this little thread as an example...from recent postings: Service departments not wanting to mess with drippy filters, concerns over sensors and dust, HP loss on the dyno, big power loss due to datastream info that's way below specs, damaged motorcycle engines, poor results on UOA, former K&N buyers going back to paper, "filtration" problems, K&N supporter stating that even he wouldn't use a K&N with very dirty/dusty conditions, auto makers not getting too excited about non-paper filters, etc... hey, maybe they could try throwing in an extra sticker or two.

btw, It's a tie @ 63 postings each, so far...feel free to pull way ahead, since you're on vacation and real bored. LOL!

OK let me dumb down the question and then see if we can get an answer.

Why do sales reports at auto parts stores show other filter companies such as Wix and Fram, selling more filters than K&N during 1 year?

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.
