They still push the performance claims...usually "3-5 hp gain" for drop-ins, yes?



YOU assumed wrong.



A paper filter like Amsoil's Ea air filter, or a PureONE air filter will trap about 50x more dust (Amsoil's claim) than a shallow pleated, small square inched, oiled filter...and with your very dusty conditions you'd be able to figure that one out for yourself, or not.

BTW: LMAO, and to deflate the desperate little reaching again...I've got a K&N filter on the shelf for a Honda customer that's coming in next week...want to know what claims are on the box, in order which they appear?...it's a DROP-IN

"Designed to increase horsepower & acceleration"
"Washable/reusable/lifetime product"

Wooops
This is Yaris World, not Hondalovers.com. Where are they pushing the claim for the Yaris? If you go to the K&N website and look at the Yaris drop-in claims, you will notice that there are NONE!!! They do have a cone air filter for the Yaris that they claim a 3-4 HP gain on but we are talking about the Yaris drop-in. Not Honda and not performance!
