Lets look objectively at the video and analysed the results carefully and not be confused by what we saw in the video. This is a marketing hype used by advertisers and not scientific evidence. Always be skepctical whenever a product is tested by the manufacturer and especially when tested against other products, even if they say it was an independent test without stating who conducted such test.
The test was flawed. Now you may be wondering , I saw the video, what are you speaking about. Well firstly, no one was invited to represent the the makers of the other products, which is standard for any comparison product test. Secondly they say a leading brand without naming the brand. Why? Because they want you to believe that is was a K&N air filter. Thirdly, when they put the paper airfilter to test, they did not say OEM filter, but wants you to believe that it is an OEM filter. We all know that a K&N filter needs oiling, however whatever filter was used was taken straight from the box and tested without being oiled. Fourthly, the dust that was sprinkled on top the filter would have also gotten in the atmosphere as well, and because the filter that was choosen is pleeted, dust would pass between the filter and the surface it rested upon and show the filter as being ineffective. Fiftly, the faom filter would have form a proper seal over the surface it was tested upon and being new, would collect the dust for that short period of time of the test being carried out. Finally, they said that with the complete pipe system you get gains in horsepower, on the dynmo howerver they did not show us that test. On the other hand all other high flow system has showed gains on the dynmo test so this is not exclusive to foam. |
