No way in hell I was actually considering buying one. I was just looking on EBAY and saw a million of these things and was trying to figure out where the improvement came from. Like WideOpen said, pure obstruction. Just as much of a joke as those peps selling resistors for $5 saying a 25HP gain.

I would personally never use one of their air filters, but their marketing is GREAT. When people ask about the mods on my car, the first question is usually "So you got a K&N?"

Just kidding BTW, they work by restricting airflow which causes the PCM to pull fuel therby increasing gas mileage. The increased HP thing is more BS. People see the fuel savings & assume since the fuel saving claim is there, that there also must be more HP. More HP needs more air & more fuel. One withought the other is worthless. People who advertise this **** such as "two guys garage" are sellouts to their sponsors. Makes me sick every time I see them dispaly the item & flat out lie about its' benefit.

yeah their great. They restrict and swirl the air at the same time just so when the swirling air hits the manifold it difuses and defeats the purpose any way. Great Idea!

Hell, half the time I use that damn thing I get a bad link response.
