Somehow they made those numbers whether you believe it or not. I'm not totally sticking up for the companies, but I'm just saying, they cant lie.

If you're going to make an attempt at accusing a company of false advertising, the burden of proof is on YOU to disprove their claims, not on them to back it up.
Notice their specific marketing approach "Adds _UP TO_ 20+ horsepower!"
Up to, lets think about that for a moment. That means anywhere from 0 to 20, or more. So no, they are not actually giving any guarantees of performance improvement. Therefore they cannot be hit for false advertising, as they make no guaranteed claims.
"Somehow they made those numbers whether you believe it or not"
I believe they made the numbers, with a pencil and a piece of paper.
Never forget, there is no such thing as a company in the buisness of making horsepower, they're all in the buisness of making money.
The first and best way to make power, is knowing what you're doing, not buying parts.
think i may have seen that. But we are talking about 5.0's here. IMO though, if your goin for looks, get a cai, but If your just lookin for some horses cheap, a k&n in the stock box cant be beat. their both better than the stock paper filter and all, but I dont think either is better than the other.Aliate X said:Theres a vid floating around of a dyno before K&N and after, and 17rwhp was gained off the K&N on a 03 cobra I think.
Out of this whole thread *THAT* is the only thing that make since to me!!nosmatt said:Ohh, and I wholeheartedly DISAGREE that DMAN is an idiot.
