Uh, yer a wise guy huh?

 

Sorry Bill, wasnt trying to be hard on you....but I have seen that test a bunch of times.

 

Off Topic Altert!!

 

I have run a K&N Air Cannon filter on my truck for over 150,000 miles, through dusty farm conditions and have never seen any build up of dust or oil. At the same time I have taken a beating on all of these sites for talking about my success with it. I just wonder if any of these test take into account the different types of filters that each company makes. K&N also makes a drop in stock type filter which I will agree is junk, and think that this is where most of the bad reputation comes from. But which filter were they using for the testing. I know several other companies also make different models for the same trucks, so which filters models are they testing to get to the end result.

This is not an accusation on any testing but a question I have so that I can come to a conclusion for myself on the validity of the testing.

 

i'm using a S&B, also oil impregnated same as a K&N and could even be made by K&N....S&B uses a different color oil.....

K&N bashing is normal on the web because they are number 1 in air filters....
i couldn't be happier with my S&B....

 

Be quiet you ! Get back to work...

 

Ah, but heres the difference...the K&N is only 4 layers of cotton, and the S&B is 7 layers. Much like an AFE....

Personally, I dont like K&N and do have real world experience with the filter to back up my claims....if anyone is looking to buy a K&N drop in, please PM me...Id love to sell it.

 

If it's just all about testing, here is a link that shows that K&N is the best filter on the market. http://knfilters.com/air_filter_testing.htm

I don't actually expect anybody to read through it all, just trying to illustrate the point that testing and statistics can be made to look just about any way you want them to. In my case I wouldn't have a K&N dropin filter but am perfectly happy with the replacement type.

 

i bought my S&B because the ebay vendor promised that my ownership of it would help me to get lucky more frequently...and it came free with my torque tube and box...LOL LOL LOL

Thanks Dozerboy, I always tell people buying an intake is a Complete waste of money! (Just like those throttle body spacers for the gas motors).
