my rmagic air filter gave me a solid 14 whp. I know because I rode with a K&N v.2 then switched to just the air filter and my butt dyno went off the charts. True story

NEXT TRY TO LISTEN MORE TO WHAT YOU READ, AND STOP TRYING TO PUT **** IN MY MOUTH ABOUT THINGS I DIDNT EVEN SAY.
You didn't say 2 to 3 hp, I'M saying it. Understand ? At MOST that is the hp difference between the 2 units. What do you think the hp difference is ? How are you claiming that you can feel the difference ? What do you think you can/are feeling ?

You said "overall the k&n w/rb air duct comb felt more responsive even around mid range " I'm claiming BS. Understand ? I'm saying that you couldn't feel the difference because the human body can't tell the difference between that little hp difference ?

I'm saying the only thing you are feeling is the noise difference, because that's all their is as a difference between the two. Understand ?

It definitely has the Ram Air Duct attached it, bacause it's MY CAR. Understand ?

I'm not putting anything in your mouth, If I call you a retard, I'M calling you a retard. These are MY examples, I am calling your "feelings" and your observations wrong. If you claim you feel that the K&N is more responsive anywhere based on your *** dyno (what you feel), you are wrong. Understand ? I can read fine, can you ? Seems like everybody else here can, except you apparently.

Give it up, EVERYBODY is calling you out. If you haven't figured out by now that you are clueless, then you never will.
