If you like them-use em. If not, accept the fact others can and and they are not inferior beings for using them. I've seen cases where K&N's work well and cases where they were a huge let down based on oil analysis.

I personally don't use them but know others who do-we don't fight about it. Agree to disagree and call it a day.

Yeah, I think it just started up again because the sticker fanboi got mad at me because of my Avalon comment (about a YEAR ago!!) and he started in with his Tacoma Texas Package example (don't know why he tried to deny that now), but the thread got closed pretty quick...guess he got a little bit pissied because he didn't get to shake his pom-poms enough for K&N...well, we're seeing it now, after he was forced to wait nearly 1 year--when I mentioned the Avalon again Mr. Hickman starts right up where we left off, really getting to blow his top good this time.

Last year's hot topic

Show me where I denied it.......

I keep trying to get back to your original claim that K&N's statements are false. I ask for proof and then you start talking about ordering tips and packages that come on a Ford and on a Mini. So then we talk about that for a while since you bring up off topic items. Then I have to come in and get us back on track. You make your statement that you're right because I said so.....and then you start talking about how other companies out sell K&N. Well if you were a smart person, you would realize that their products are designed that way and they will never out sell most other compaines.

Did you ever find the proof that can backup their so-called "increased horsepower" claim on the Yaris drop-in K&N *buy now* link yet? Where's that proof to back the sales pitch? Never found it? Knew you wouldn't.

And funny how others have proof that they actually LOST HP on the Dyno after installing a K&N filter that promises increase.

Others? That means more than one and there has only been 1 person post anything about the dyno and that wasn't even done on the Yaris. Did I have ever find the proof to back up their claim? I'm not the one who has a problem with it. They could put "This filter will will cause $500 to be deposited into your bank account 5 minutes after install," and I wouldn't care. Once again, they are a big company and you are 1 person. No one cares about your beef with K&N's boxes.

ps Why do you think other companies 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.

Your lack of reasoning and common sense amazes me. You two make less sense than Michael Jackson.

It's apparent that you two have some sort of beef with each other. Haven't you heard of PM's? You've wasted 11 pages on bickering. Do either of you want to argue with my 7 year old about "No, I"M RIGHT...NO, I'M RIGHT!!!"

If what is claimed on the box is REALLY that big of a deal to you, why don't you do us all a favor and contact them to find out for yourself. The lack of participation in this thread should be a clue that most of us JUST DON'T CARE.
