Guys,

This really isn't about air filters any more, is it?

I'm probably the only person still following this thread but I think this race is run.
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.

"they" that have over 1%?

Your favorite company doesn't have the 99%, more like 1%
No one has the 99%. No one even has more than 50%....whats your point?

K&N will never be the top selling brand of filters. Their products are designed that way.

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.

We know!

Can't believe you basically asked *how high* I wanted you to jump when I said my friend was willing to pay me to keep you bouncing for another week, when you announced that it appears I'll get to spend that $200.00 for sure.

If you weren't so OWNED you would have at least came back with something like: You'll never collect that because you won't last that long

But instead your next follow up was:

"Well I am in the middle of my annual 2 1/2 month vacation and I have nothing better to do at this moment"

WOW!! You're really letting me control your vacation time? PWNED!!

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.

Well at least during the week. Not any good shows on TV. Too hot to play golf. No important professional sports during this time. The wife is at grad school. So you are very entertaining! Some of the things you have come up with make me laugh. Like when you said Wix sells more filters than K&N. Your way of thinking is sooo hilarious!

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?

Never said it was. My point was about them losing HP on a product that has a sales pitch for increased HP

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?
