seriously though, its a good product, and it might replace my K&N just so I don't have to deal with the oil recharge kits, but lets keep it real.

From your recent posts, you seem to be the a**hole of the forums.

Hmmmm, and which one of us has been banned before?? Weird, huh.

If you guys have something to back your claims up and prove me wrong, by all means, post away and prove I'm an asshole. People make the same claims - sounds better, feels more responsive, and gets better gas mileage from using 91 fuel. I don't see you defending them when people tell them they are full of it.

Is a dyno going to measure responsiveness, mpg, or volume?

I have. You know why? It was for calling someone out when they were being an asshole to other members ( Tamago ).

And you sir, are an asshole. FACT.

Like I said, if I'm wrong, post some numbers. Anything. Hell you can even make up some numbers like half the hypermilers here to support your better MPG claim.

You may not like me, but if one more consumer is informed(or un-misinformed as the case has been lately) at the end of the day, my job is done.

If you are right, post some numbers. Your claim of them not having gains has no validity as much as them claiming they do have gains. So for you to say they are wrong, and that they need to show numbers to prove they are right, is just as stupid as your say their claims are. Technically, the guy who installed the filter in HIS own car, that HE drives, should have more validity to his statement, opposed to yours. Until YOU can prove your claims with numbers, you will continue to be looked at as an ass.

lol... AFE doesn't claim MPG increases. Neither does K&N.

I bought a chip on ebay and my yaris now has 200 horsepower... You have to prove this wrong or I am right...
