No, it's a rip-off XC90

You see, I don't need to prove it.

More dirt is a bad thing. Who the heck needs to prove that? Why would any idiot "knowingly" install an expensive filter which you, yourself, admit won't increase power, if he knew in advance it admitted more dirt?????

I guess there's a reason there somewhere, but darned if I know what it is.


As for the comment about K&N filters producing more power, I suspect they can show a smidgen of power over some conditions, otherwise they'd be sued out the ying yang. Is it enough to do anything, not on a stock motor.

It's amusing to see the angle some people take to defend these things. My goal, as always, is to post this stuff for the guys out there who are contemplating spending their hard earned cash, and all they have to use to make up their minds is the K&N marketing BS>
