Thats kinda what I was thinking.Thats a fair saving for a ~$100 part that anyone can install.

It MAY save you a bit in fuel from increased airflow (If you set it up properly, which will cost you ALOT more than $100) and it MAY give you an increase in power, but nowhere near what it claims!

V8 mag just tested a K&N replacement on a Commodore and got 2% more power, so I do not think there is much more (if any) to get from their one.

dont knock it till you have tryed it. it sounds like you would be one of theres people that wont try something because it new or new to you my friend has been using these filters for years now and he dont like to part with his money for any reason

I fail to see in the above post where he says he tried all these tests with with a green filter. Not that I'm supporting it at all, i stick to paper filters with regular cleaning and changing. But even so, his word means piss all without the evidence.

To think that worlds automotive industry (who invest billions of dollars a year on research and development)have failed to realise that fitting a "Green" filter element would save them up to 16% in fuel consumption is nothing short of preposterous. As long as there are still ill-informed, gullible people out there we will have people selling ???miracle??? products for motor vehicles.

K&N themselves used to use some rather optimistic claims like these. When questioned on it, the small print clarifies that their tests involve taking a crappy old clogged paper filter out, putting the K&N one in, and all of a sudden you've got a 15% power increase. Clever marketing.I guess.

LOL. Not to mention being sent down the road by the boss to buy a "long wait". (I can still feel the embarrassment after all these years!).

Looks exactly like a K&N except its green. 50micron oiled filter. Sounds exactly like a K&N too.

more air and cleaner air = burning cleaner and hotter. And anyone whose mechanically minded knows that does mean more power and economy. How much is a different story. I wouldn't trust those outrageous claims but I would believe there can be some gain in both areas.

These work just like they claim. Just like those pills added 6 inches to my penis. That is all

The only way to know for sure that it is actually filtering the air going into your engine is with a oil sample.
