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!
Thanks, I was starting to think it was hickmansyogatime instead of yarisworld :sigh:

You're saying, right now, that K&N changes their box's sales pitch when it gets to the P/N for the Honda drop-in filter? I bet all their boxes look pretty much the same, where the text is concerned, whether it's a Honda, Kia, Toyota, Focus, etc....

For my '08 Yaris...right off they claim it's for performance, just like that Honda :)

Don't know where you're getting your info.

For the Yaris P/N...

"K&N’s replacement air filters are designed to increase horsepower and acceleration" ...and repeats on the box, so HP claims aren't just for the Honda like you pretended.

Nice evasion. :)

Like I said, I see no numbers. You do know what numbers are don't you? Here's a little help(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0). If you ever see something that look like these(they maybe combine), these are called numbers. Now in your little quote, I didn't see where it said, "The drop-in filter for the Yaris will give you 5 more HP, or 20 more HP, or 100 more HP, or"....well you get the point, hopefully!

Wrong!!!

"K&N’s replacement air filters are designed to increase horsepower and acceleration"

You'd have to be crazy, or sad and insecure, not to see that as a performance/numbers claim from K&N for the Yaris drop-in P/N. Why do they need to GIVE you a number, when they've already claimed increase horsepower and acceleration ???

Go to this link and see the numbers. On their home page, they have a link thats says, "Find Vehicle Horsepower Gain." If you click on it and go through all of the steps you will come to this page.

http://www.knfilters.com/search/hp_search.aspx

Now can you tell me how much the drop-in filter will increase your HP??

By the way, what was the weather like when you tested the HP increase of the K&N drop-in in Your Yaris?

Wrong, you're the one with the K&N filter in the Yaris, that needs to be cleaned every month due to your extremely dusty conditions; you must be impressed with their decals

And why did you need to throw away my K&N link...it was the direct link for the Yaris P/N, with the "buy now" option?

http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=33-2360

From that link:

"K&N’s replacement air filters are designed to increase horsepower and acceleration"

It's not my fault that K&N is too chicken-$h!t and cowardly to backup their so called increase horsepower and acceleration claims with an actual number.
