And why did you need to throw away my K&N link...it was the direct link for the Yaris P/N, with the "buy now" option? http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=33-2360 From that link: "K&N’s replacement air filters are designed to increase horsepower and acceleration" It's not my fault that K&N is too chicken-$h!t and cowardly to backup their so called increase horsepower and acceleration claims with an actual number.

...and YOU said that because they needed to know if it was under warranty or not...really? Pal, why ask for the mileage, first, to see if it's under warranty? Like I said before, you get symptoms and customer details first, because they might be in for a flat tire, oil change, etc...and last time I checked that wasn't dealer covered warranty repairs...car could even be 20 years old Oh, and with the Mitchell program that I use, like many other professional shops, mileage info is asked for on page 3 of the customer's W.I.P. invoice. |

all I hear is the sound of an old plane plummeting erratically toward the ground, as this thread has gone south ;d

I think it started with the claims that the Avalon might be a "pace car for NASCAR or on some dirt track" and did the final shark jump with the Bin Laden is hiding in the air box silliness.

have you ever wondered why you never see a K&N filter on any stock machine?
if they were so great why don't they use them Simple cotton filter are the worst filter type for filtering fine dust that will cause premature engine wear. Even K&N recommends a foam prefilter for dusty conditions do think you car sees much dusty conditions? don't wash under the hood for a couple months and look how much dust built up collects on the engine cover, not X that by XXXXXXXXXX the amount of air you engine sucks in everyday and think about how much of that dust is going into your engine. As a motorcycle mechanic I have seen hundreds of engines destroyed by using K&N filters. #1 they do throw off the jetting sometime lean other times they reduce the intake velocity and cause the engine to run too rich or just poorly overall. Even FI bike need to have the fuel systems re-mapped for a K&N. for you K&N owners take a clean white rag and go wipe out the intake pipe to the manifold and then tell us its clean in there. I have shown dozens of owners this for YEARS and most people withh agree they SUCK. if the MFG could gain and extra MPG from a different air filter don't you think they would have installed it?

Amsoil needs to get it in gear and release their Ea paper filter for the Yaris; guaranteed for 100K miles, and it's reusable...they say just vacuum it, shake it out, wipe down w/ soft bristle brush, etc...
Only cotton filter I ever liked was the one made by Green (big in Europe, I think)...its cotton was weaved, like bluejeans, not loose layering, and was supposed to filter better, but still not as good as paper. |

My brother bought one for his new Ranger; looked like a very good and durable filter.
