We are still waiting for your point to be proven. You have danced around everything and hinted anything of value would need to be discussed in PM. Also making it out like reading a UOA is some kind of god given gift that only you can do.

So please enlighten us all with the very, very bad data you have on K&N Filters. Im more than open for discussion and will happily learn if Im wrong, but over the last few days I have seen nothing to suggest so.
