Q: let me explain it then. in order for k&n or any of them to legally make those claims they have to have done it. they make no such legally binding claims. read the way they word it. it is very misleading. here is an example copied from the k&n website describing their high performance intake kits. designed to increase horsepower and acceleration by as much as 10% ... even if it results in a huge power loss they are only claiming they /designed/ it for an increase. what happens after you install it has no bearing on this claim. the only way you could bring legal action is if you can prove it increases horsepower and acceleration more than 10% and that they /designed/ it for more than a 10% increase. i suspect that will never happen. i bet k&ns lawyers suspect that will never happen either. -- ken they dont make any claims like that any more but they did and had for a number of years a couple of years ago actually more than five k$n had a ad in a couple of mags claiming a increase of 20hp at the rear wheels when useing their cai. there was so much protesting that they changed ther ad to whatever it is today. thinking about this ad it was when fitch was around and nate was sandman that era. roy .
