Hate might be too strong a word, 2005HHRauto. HPTuners sent me the parts to tune my car. These parts make more difference than any other parts I bought. But as an IT guy, I may have a different view of computer parts that I hook up to my car for logging and programming and the associated programming. To me, when I change my ECU programming, it is effectively a different part than other ppls ECUs.
But after 2 years, I would call it hate.
I believe him & joe blow,when they say that they can't shift their way into the 13's...:Roflol: I never asked for proof...
Today, everybody 'tunes' , with a 'program' change.
In the old school days, we 'tuned' by changing the 'jets', & advancing the
distributor. Not really replacing parts, just 'tuning'....
Tools yesterday would be screw drivers & wrenches, today tools would be
laptops & cables...

Haters gonna hate. 
I have tuned a 4 carb bike using jets. (I also pulled the mechanical points electrical system and converted it to an electronic ignition) I had to tune it for the same reason as many HHRs are tuned; aftermarket exhaust and intake. The parts and techniques have changed, the reasons haven't. With aftermarket filter setup my bike won't run right without the tuning parts. (jets) I still regard a tune as parts for that reason.

And I do hate the president for 'dumbing', our country down with his
Socialistic values.
OMG obama must go
Clint Eastwood rocks....
It's still just 'tuning', not really replacing hard core parts.
Now converting from mechanical to electrical ignition, is a hard parts change.

Getting back to the OPs post.
K&N addressed the restriction in the intake tubing.
It works very well.
Retains the stock 'cold' air intake of fresh air.
No reason to do anything else, if your looking for power.
Another intakes look pretty, & shiny, but don't get the job done.

I will gave respect were its do but I havent seen a vid so It really hard to take your word for it. Oh you should pull your head of the sand and get with the times. It's funny I ask a vid you get so defensive.

To sum up:
- The K&N filter is fine.
- Haters gonna hate
- The K&N intake is too expensive. I get more than enough air for E50 through the stock one considering I'm not on slicks.
- Some politicians are worse than others.
- You could run a sock puppet with a proper tune, but only the sock puppet is a hard part.
- If it isn't on video, it never happened.
- Some ppl are wound tighter than others.

2005hhrauto, stfu Bout your 12s run. No vid = no proof. Until u show us proof, keep expecting these responses. I believ it's possible but this is the Internet. Do you really expect us to take ur word for it?
