well the funniest one that wasn't at some ones expense and those are not to cool but you cant help but laugh at some of the fools eh?

Oh no. You guys dont get it at all. I know exactly what blade is talking about. If you had one of these "bitches" you'd understand.

This thing absolutely sucks when its time to take it off. To make it worse, you only have about 1 inch between the front of the filter and the car. Ive even posted a question about this becuase I thought maybe I was doing it wrong. After you loosen that screw, it still stays stuck on there. I even took the whole fucking thing out of the engine and pulled like hell on it and it still would not come off. Its stinking ridiculous! I've settled for vaccuming the thing off every so ofeten until I can dedicate a whole Saturday to dick around with it.

seriously, no joking, it sucks and its a design flaw.

you need to un bolt the filter from the MAS and the heat shield

However yiou got it on do the opposite to get it off

JASonic · May 7th, 2007, 07:35 PM

that rule normally applies and works fine. However, I didnt install the stinking thing. Ive even tried to pry between the filter and the housing and stopped because I didnt want to rip the stupid thing.

I think it did add to the performance of my car. I without a doubt have seen better gas mileage and a bit better sound to the exhaust. but had I known it would be this difficult to remove, I never would have bought it. Especially with all the other choices that do the same thing. I bought K&N becuase I trusted the name.... mistake.

Im gonna cut the bitch off and put a coffee filter in the end ..lol..
