SO, they can make any claim they want, and if the consumer that keeps K&N's doors open can't go to the trouble of proving K&N's increased HP claim for them, K&N doesn't have to provide it?
No thanks! And I never said it was false, said it was a sound mod and can be reused, but don't expect big saving at the gas pump and don't expect that big power that can be felt...said they need to prove their increased HP claims that they stick on every filter box...you found that link yet? |

I'm guessing this is how the conversation would go: You: You're claim that your drop-in filter will Increase horsepower and acceleration on my Yaris is false. K&N: OK, how do you know that this is false. You: Because I said so. K&N: Are you serious? You: YES K&N: Thank you for calling K&N and have a good day (They hang up) You: Hello....you still there? |

You said that their claim of "Increase horsepower and acceleration" was not honest. OK, if it's "not honest," then what is it? Not honest=dishonest=not true=false=misleading.....no matter what you are calling it now, you still must prove it! Come on....I want to see little oh 1stToyota take down K&N!!! I'll give you $100 if you can get them to change their boxes. |

No wonder their sales are probably about 1% vs 99% Yay!! |

Post #85 and post #82, before you changed it ;) And I was not trying to lie.....it's called Sarcasm. Thats what you do when you already know something but you intentionally say the wrong thing. Trust me, we know someone like you would never get a job for Toyota! Last edited by b_hickman11; 07-15-2009 at 05:15 PM. |

Just a Fun Fact: Bananas account for 1% of grocery stores sells. Do you think that bothers the growers? Come on, you should know. You sound like a banana lover! |

Post 87 where you said you didn't talk about your Tacoma about a year ago on a K&N thread? That's wrong. And didn't say "OEM"...oh, and a co-worker said he'd give me $200.00 if I keep you bouncing for another week.

[QUOTE=b_hickman11;352820]So what.....that 1% probably means millions of $ in profits each year for K&N.QUOTE]
Just think how much better the other 99% would be. |

Yes...but the other 99% is not one company. Just because K&N is 1% doesn't mean FRAM is 99%. Or Wix.....hopefully you understand that. If not, we are in deeper than I thought we where. You are going to need some extra credit and an around the clock tutor. |

Never made that claim, just at the 1% for having the pretty little stop sign decal. Quote:

I just hope K&N is happy looking up. [/QUOTE] Then how would they have the other 99%. Your favorite company doesn't have the 99%. No one has the whole 99%....so how would they get that? Shut down all the over companies that make filters. That would be a monopoly and we frown on that here in America! |
