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?

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?

Losing HP? What was the weather like when you got those test results? And once again, I’m not the one that has a problem with their claim. I have not said it was true. I have not said it was false. So I need proof to show what? You said it was false but have no proof. You think that I’m a big company?? Wow, you really do need help. Maybe you are working too much. You need a vacation. I got plenty of time I could give you.

Why do you think Wix sells more filters than K&N?

I don't have a problem at all with you, or anybody else for that matter , for being unable and/or unwilling to provide proof that K&N tests every single one of their applications to see if the so-called HP increase is actually true.

Why does Toyota still choose not to use K&N so often?

"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!!

You already asked that question a few pages back and I already gave you an answer. Why do you ignore my questions? Have I stumped God?

Why does FRAM sell more filters than K&N?
