Oh, so Toyota is installing K&N filters on every vehicle, or probably way less than 1% of the new vehicles being sold...thought so.

Show me the post where I said they put them in every vehicle?? Thats right, theres not one. One of the reasons they don't is because of cost. They know a Hybrid setup is the best way to go right now. Why don't they install them in evry vehicle? Cost! You should know that though since you work for them.

No, silly, my quote was because you said K&N was so great that Toyota used it on a dealer installed package, a long time ago...so I said what, they love them so much they now install K&N on every new Toyota being sold...OR do they actually install K&N filters on WAY less than 1% of new Toyotas being sold. You said it was because of costs. Really? That's the only reason? You made that up, OR you've got a link that shows Toyota's statement on K&N filters for their new vehicles? :)

You posted that after I had already said that they do not install them on very many Vehicles So I already beat you to the your point. I am aware that it is probably less than 1%. Also if you notice my post, I said, "ONE of the reasons....." I aware that there is other reasons. Another reason is because they make more money if they put in a throw away filter in. Some owners, not all, don't know what % (so don't say I said all owners), will go to the dealer for service and the dealer will make money from new filters. So remember, I said one reason.

p.s. It wasn't a dealer installed package.

Just because you can add something on a build page doesn't mean it's factory installed. Most sites even warn that prices might not be correct because DEALER "installation charges" will vary. I doubt that my tip was installed on the assembly line, probably yanked off of the dealer's parts shelf, even tho' I installed it on the build page.

All I know is that you first wrote that Toyota likes them, that's why it was installed on a Tacoma, and I fired back with my very first reply to that with: If Toyota thinks they're so great why are K&N filters installed almost never, when compared to the paper filters being installed on new Toyotas. Say what you want, I say it's because paper FILTERS better, and there doesn't seem to be too hot of a demand for K&N or they wouldn't be getting outsold by such a wide margain.

btw: If you just can't seem to get enough of me, and you find this topic so spellbinding, how bout we shift this to our private inboxes? Can I send you a buddy request? ;)

I watched my Taco roll off of the delivery carrier from GST. I even helped them pull off the white protective coverings! I touched the truck before the dealership touched it! So Im sorry your little tip was probably glued on at your dealer but my system was done before the dealer! Yes I did say that Toyota likes them. Do you think they would still install them on SOME of their products if they hated them?? Surely not. There is a lot of products out there that are better than what Toyota installs on their products. Tires for example. They install tires that only last around 25,000 miles when there are tires out there that can triple that! But I guess Toyota knows what is better huh!
