Ahhh, the classic "up to" disclaimer, which--legally speaking--includes the number zero.

The more appropriate question here could be - can "up to" be a negative number ?

Uhhh... Apparently you didn't read the WHOLE AD....

It uses a JET STREAM filter! HA! So there!

It's 37% LIGHTER than the competition! Saves four ounces!

Will last one MILLLLLLLION MILES!

I don't see why you have a problem with it... It has a perfect OEM fit and is made of aluminum. How could it NOT grant us 18hp!?

Ok no offense but that has got to be the stupidest comment ever what intake do you know that can give you up to 18HP??? at most even the revi and the aem only give about 5 at most.... our cars are not mod friendly, unless you go FI, but even that in some cases aren't compatiable with the rotary engine.... all that 37% lighter is bullshit...... go ahead and waste your money for something that will probably do you no good, considering its a no name comapny... they have no creditability or reliability like AEM/MS or REVi or HKS, K&N..... oh yeah it gives you 18 alright, 18 reasons to return it!

Sacasm is something many of us take for granted.
I am finding more and more as I travel that there are many people who lack any sort of sense for sarcasm whatsoever. I'd be interested to see what that correlates to in other aspects of our society.

i've dated a girl or two that has completely took my sarcastic comment as a serious insult.

"do i look bad in this?"

"yup" (but a sarcastic yup)

I thought the smashing-head-against-wall thing was enough to illustrate to most that it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
